Do you consider Spain and Portugal to be a part of the BIPOC community? I feel like much of the response to diversity initiatives I’ve seen in my corner of the industry over the years results in white executives centering men from those two countries in particular. I’ve always wondered why and how that happens so frequently.

Oh this is a great question. In my opinion, I don’t. Wouldn’t they be considered White Europeans? I’d love to be corrected on that if I’m wrong, but from what I’ve come to experience and believe, I don’t see them as part of the BIPOC community at all

And Brazil. Partic creative sector…our industry loves to recruit men from Brazil. But rarely do we index at recruiting US Latinos who…are needed to guide our US brands desperately seeking to connect with US Latino audiences!

That's an interesting observation. I hadn't noticed it myself, but I may have just been oblivious. I think with too many executives the idea of diversity just involves checking a box, and they either don't see any underlying purpose. Or, worse still, they intend to subvert the purpose.

Why are town Hall meetings so impersonal? They are all about awards / the number of people hired. I know FCB health is large, but we never hear from people who aren’t Executives. Last town hall, when discussing inclusion efforts, there were no people of color represented and one of the 4 pillars of diversity was centered around our “reputation as an organization” (that really rubbed me the wrong way). At my last agency those conversations were always led by people of color from every level.

I went on a date last week and it went really well. We basically set up 2nd & 3rd dates that night. 2nd date's Friday for drinks and 3rd date is drag brunch. Date had to end pretty early bc she's in the med field and needs to wake up around 5am. I'm new to dating people my own gender and I want to make moves but I'm nervous/hesitant since I'm new to this. There was light touching, leaning in, eye contact, but I want to do more. Anything I should do on the 2nd date? How to initiate?
