Do you feel like you had good representation of minorities in marketing or examples to follow while you were in school? There were other Black people in my program, but I never had a professor who wasn't white, this may have just been my university though. Curious! Do you think it had an impact on your work?

Went to a PWI, there were barely enough minorities for the campus photographer to stalk and try and get pictures of for the catalogue. Didn't have any minority professors, not sure it negatively affected my process but it would have been nice to see myself in the field without having to google.
