Now is not the time to stand on the sidelines silently while we watch our Black brothers and sisters be told that their lives, ideas, and voices don’t matter. It is our duty as human beings to support our friends, co-workers, and neighbors by creating space for them and 1/5
To our fellow BIPOC and non-BIPOC members in advertising, we want to know how you will amplify black voices in your agencies and continue to spread this message because Black voices, ideas, experiences, and lives matter. 4/5
Today, we honor our beloved creative director, Doug, as he moves on from FIR. FIR thanks you for everything you've done for us throughout the years. We miss you and wish you a lifetime of joy and inspiration!
I need all Black advertising agency professionals to slide into my DMs for some social justice.
Everyone in my immediate circle knows what this is about.
Please retweet to signal boost.
Looking like I'm not removing @milkmakeup from my following. First brand I'm seeing stepping up to the challenge addressing their accountability.
And they did it without waiting.
Who is next? Let's see it.
Brands that are struggling to address the current human rights movement at hand, ask yourself questions like, “Do we support Black Lives Matter?” and “Are we against police brutality?” If yes, THEN SAY SO! Don’t be afraid to call things what they are.
