For anyone that missed it, here’s my chat with Pusha T, that we did for part of our WPP Making Space event. How they came up with the name Clipse. His beef with McDonalds and how the Arbys Ad came to life. His working experience with Kanye and Pharrell and a shit ton more.

This was for the culture!

Whoever did the Brennan’s Bread TV doesn’t know the difference between a cheese toastie and cheese on toast and I wish it didn’t bother me but it does.

LMAO what do Afro Latinos look like? I just asked a creative to include more pictures of Afro-Latinos in our hispanic messaging and she said "I tried to find pictures of videos that looked authentic but they didn't have the right look, it's a very specific look". 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.

In a meeting we a client, we were looking at a stock image of a smiling Black man holding a baseball bat while wearing a hoodie. The client comments that it’s the wrong way to hold a bat. Cool. But, then follows up and says, “Also, he just looks aggressive. Like, this person would definitely attack me and my family.” I was shocked. But, apparently, I was the only one. Because everyone else on the call laughed. They were all white except for my partner who is Mexican. But, he still chuckled.
