Hey Guys! I’m looking to photograph every single black person in advertising. Ever. To prove the existential black crisis the industry thinks we have as false. We are here.

You in?

To the Latino versions: every job I’ve had I’ve seen Latinos. I’m the only black person in the creative department my large agency at the moment. This is NYC. It shouldn’t be that way. Yes there’s a black crisis but of all the places I’ve worked, I haven’t seen a Latino crisis. Am I wrong?

Not to be a downer, but more than photos we just need JOBS at a level higher than intern. Photograph the black ECD &CCOS in this industry, that will show the real deficit in minority leadership.

To the person asking about the Latino versions: there are lots of hires from Latin American countries and Spain on H-1B visas in the industry. Not nearly as many American Latinos, fewer in upper level positions, and fewer still, if any, that are POC.

Everywhere I’ve worked were American Latino. Sorry, not sorry. I’m with JR. AD here “whaddabow muh minority.” I’m also a black woman in a creative position. I’ve seen more Latinas in senior levels and c-suite than black of either gender. Anyway, not here to attack the other minority but this is such a great idea that I don’t get why it had to be overshadowed by “what about Latinos?” Yea, room for that too. Just do it. Or say, “Love this idea, want to support that and other POC too.” We can move everyone forward but nah, I had to do stats fact check.

Ooops and I forgot to add: there are Black Latinos! We can always win when we carry everyone. Anyway, sorry to derail this. Start an email list, I’ll be happy to submit talented black people in advertising that I know.
