“Black Out: The Disappearance of Black Couples in Advertising.” Quote from the piece: “Have you been watching TV at all these days? If you have, odds are you have seen fewer and fewer Black couples living and enjoying life together in commercials. Seeing a Black man and a Black woman together is almost as rare as a UFO, Bigfoot, or unicorn sighting.”

What are some easy to make, low stress holiday meals for a school holiday staff party? I was "volunteered" by our principal to set it up this year (🙄). I'm making decorated sugar cookies but kind of drawing a blank when it comes to savory dishes. Bonus points if you have any adult holiday themed games or fun drinks to suggest! It's off school property and there will be a bar (thank god), for context.

Just showed my german brother in law what ambrosia salad is and he's lost how salad is in the name 😂😂.

If you're looking for inspirational films about addiction I highly recommend The Resurrection of Jake the Snake Roberts. It's a documentary about the wrestler who had about as bad an addiction problem as you can imagine. It goes through his problems, despair, but also shows his road to recovery through platonic love, support, and he finds redemption. It's great for anyone like me that tried and failed to get sober for years. I have over a year now for the first time.

The marketing for Black Adam is genius! I wish I was in entertainment. If you could choose one industry to do marketing for what would it be? For me it's easily film or games.

Hey, so I’m going to my first 3% conference. I heard it’s usually white feminism x 100. But I was wondering what I should expect? Has anyone been.

African American 🐟 - why do I feel so annoyed when I hear “black” ads on the radio? With the sassy female leads and the urban slang and such. Feels so forced and wack. Just me?

Looking for some inspiration for a project. Ads/brands from any era that have made an impact on you - whether that’s being inclusive and diverse, or making you think wtf. Could be from when you’re growing up or ones you’ve seen recently. Thoughts?

Happy Black History Everyone, let's make this a truly historic month!!

We might be receiving stipends for professional development, I would like to use it towards a conference, which are some good ones to consider?

After 15 years in the industry, I can really say that these last few years have been the most challenging in terms of navigating all the sensitivity and political correctness.

Do you have a mentor? I’m in the autumn of my career and I’ve had a  modicum of success in production and it’s time to give back.

Counterpoint: I’m one of the few POC at a large agency and it’s really dope to be seen as an example of why agency diversity makes the work better. Any struggle outside of that is minor.

I’m still trying to process seeing an agency exec well known for dismissing and ignoring POC held up as an exemplary diversity champion for women at the 3% Conference.
