Because I got a story. I was going to share this on Facebook, but perhaps this is a better audience.

---

When you're at a BAME (Black Asian Multi-ethnic) industry event, and one of the mentors from your company looks at you and say, "Oh, we work at the same company? Haven't we met before?" You're like, "No," and she's like, "Are you sure?" And you shake your head again, this time more firmly, "No, we haven't."

There needs to be more East Asians in the ad industry here in London. More East Asian faces = less confusion of whether you've met an East Asian woman like me before.

I felt so uncomfortable at that moment. Here I was, surrounded by BAME people, and this white (or at least white passing) person turned to me and almost confused me for another person who works in our company. I don't know what to call it - unconscious bias? Basic ignorance? - but goddamn, for this to happen smack dab in the middle of a BAME networking event... I can't get away from it no matter where I go. 🙄

That's all. 🙂👋

Sometimes when I make a mistake at work I feel like I am not good enough for the job while other times I take it as “let’s do better next time.” Would love to find a balance between the two feelings.

Change my mind: the talk around things shifting to a 'new normal' is overblown. Society's collective conscience is too short-term to enact massive changes to things we are comfortable (e.g., global warming). Yes, it will take awhile for offices to open back up, flights to be full, etc., but within 1-2 years things willbe mostly back to what they are like now and this massive structural shift will have never materialized.

I’d love to know how people are tackling this issue and creating change within agencies. I think we can do more to learn from each other’s successes and failures...
