Agency fam, what does your Black history programming look like if at all? Is it giving what it’s supposed to give?

We have a lot of great programming but the higher ups aren’t as supportive like they were the past few years. It’s giving very much pre 2020. Lol I do love our ERG community though.

I work at a multicultural agency and I feel like we could’ve came a bit harder for BHM. For Hispanic Heritage Month, the agency went all out. For BHM, we only have a panel discussion scheduled and like one other thing 😒😒😒

Yep! My sentiments exactly! We have random soul food moments and hip hop music playing in the office as if that’s what encompasses the Black experience and history 🫠

We haven’t even acknowledged that it’s BHM. It’s like no one even cares.

It feels great being somewhere where the Black population is significant, but being at the beginning of the year after finance starts bringing down the hammer on budgets.... Yeah that sucks.

Absolute garbage

On the board.

The only black history programming we got was a tribute to Biggie…”We gets Nathan…”

I work at a multicultural agency and we have no programming, it’s not a priority for the higher ups

On the topic of intimacy with partners… I’ve been with my boyfriend for 2 years and the past year his libido has dropped to zero. Mostly due to work stress (he says). Whenever I try to initiate, he always shuts me down and says he’s not in the mood. I even touch him and he gets hard but stops me as soon as I try to unzip him. We went from once a week to maybe once a quarter.

I’ve talked to him about it and he says I should take care of myself. So frustrated. 😭😭

Whenever I got promoted to digital ACD a few years ago, I noticed my pay was much lower than I expected for the market I’m in, hard to find skillsets, performance, and visibility I’ve brought to the agency. I’ve brought this up a few times and was told HR would do research into salary equity, but the convo always fades. I put my foot down with my GCD, and she supports me, but I would like to come to the table with my own research. Where should I be looking for accuracy?
