Hard to take this serious with andre gray front and center.

This is essentially where are all the black people. Another conference that'll be themed for Black people but a handful will benefit and agencies will perform like they're doing anything. Younger POC will attend and be excited, good for them. Great press picture too.

Fair point, lol. And want comparing the two. My point was ascolor beef didn’t make him. And VML is very white indeed…what agency isn’t. But we have a lot of Black executives. More than any other holding agency.

I approve of their efforts but I know the money behind these events. I know what they really think about black talent. But let’s not bash those black ad folks. They are trying. What is everyone else doing?

The "what is everyone else doing" q is ridiculous if what you're doing only benefits you and yours. Loads of Black ad professionals doing shit that isn't co-opting other ideas.

Tiffany Golden started a talent agency for POC
Chelsea Curry created C0ffe3

This is a glorified conference that uses Black trauma to fund personal goals. Folks have every right to question and critic.

It’s a little weird to me that an organization claiming to be about inclusion would name themselves after a singular group. Especially for people in marketing. Definitely reads as if it’s only for one group. And maybe that’s the goal. But if it is, don’t call yourself inclusive. We’d make a lot more progress if we all linked up.

Just like the whole “all lives matter” thing right?

Idk any of the politics behind the scenes but I’m honestly having a hard time grasping any of the tangible benefits of attending outside of maybe networking?

Attended and it was fantastic. They really pulled together a well curated event.

Now that DEI is DEAD, I don’t really see any forward movement in this area. It’s all for show because I’m still going to creative meetings with mostly white people.

Hello all,

Would like to know specifically about Queer inclusion at SocGen
Societe Generale. What is the attitude of mangers and HRs towards treating LGBTQ identifying candidates? Is company really inclusive or it’s just a lip service? Considering an offer with the company but being an out and proud Queer woman, super anxious and concerned.

I am frustrated as a Gay Woman who has given her all for 30+ years grinding to be the best. I have been in closet, out of closet, in-between and am tired of it. I want to be VALUED as a human being. I have gone from Rock Star to problem when people "found out". I have trained and promoted hundreds of people and been passed over for promotions because of not being a man. I have trained men with less experience, worse results only for them to move forward. If Diversity is important...prove it!

General question: Is there any room in corporate America for real, actionable DE&I discussions and initiatives? I've observed so many corporate versions become an advertising strategy (SM posts, diversity reports) without doing the actual work (increasing representation in senior leadership, salary analyses, having an effective reporting system for bias). Is this just how it is?

In all honesty, I’ve written recommendations that male counterparts voiced in the past that had ZERO pushbacks.

Latinx - help! We used this term in our diversity spotlight discussing Hispanic Heritage Month. One individual said that in English a group of Latinos would just be Latins to be gender neutral. I understand the word is controversial but is “Latins” grammatically correct? I assume we should just say Latin Americans, but trying to understand if Latins is also accurate.

I have read that many companies may provides candidates with a “golden hello” (sign on bonus) when joining the company. I’m not sure whether this is something that depends on the company, the seniority of the role or the industry of the role itself before I could attempt to negotiate this?

Once you’ve applied via referral link to a position, does it keep you in a referral pool or do you need to constantly get a new referral link if you apply to another role say 4 months later? Curious since they only last 30 days and i feel bad asking for a link a 3rd time now…..
