“Be yourself. They can’t take that away from you.”

If you hold true to that you can look yourself in the mirror with pride and sleep at night in peace. Two of the best luxuries in the world.

The best CD I ever worked with told me “Always be working on Plan B. In this business, you never know when it will become Plan A.” I studied UX design 10 yrs ago. When it became necessary to make the transition, I was ready and with a new Plan B if needed.

That's super smart - I think I'm formulating a similar backup plan. But I like the way you put it

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?

LMAO what do Afro Latinos look like?

So no black people in the ad cause this white passing lady needs to gate keep who looks latina enough. The blond, blue eyed women in the photos passed though... UGHH.
