Hi Nadia! Thanks for running this workshop. In your opinion, what are the agencies that are doing a really good job with Diversity & Inclusion in your opinion? Why?

My heart really goes out for the women in Pakistan, the amount of harassment they face on daily basis. I wonder why that is, is the root cause the extreme level of gender segregation.

Hello everyone, this bowl is just the start. We will make it big. Request you to stay here after joining. Meanwhile, do share this in your network. It would be a great help.

Do people in studios get paid substantially more than other offerings or practice (exploring to switch, thus asking)? what is the average consultant income bracket in studio? I was also wondering if anyone aware of gender centric wage disparity in DUSI?

Biggest stereotypes about working in diversity & inclusion....Go!

Diversity quota is real: both for B-School admissions/scholarships and MBB recruiting.

Readers be warned. Your skills don’t matter as much as you think.

That is all.

Gay man who works in a large org that is big on diversity and inclusion efforts. I’d say about 50-60% of people (at all levels, across all age groups and races) list their gender pronouns in email signature. I list mine because I see it as a way to show support for colleagues who may not be cisgender. If anyone else works in the same type of environment, do you infer anything about colleagues who choose not to list their gender pronouns? (such as they are homo/trans phobic?)

What’s your gender, age, & city? After dropping your info, respond to others in your area

What do you all think of Snowflake's businnes, stock and IPO? It is database business and competition is heating up. Is this something good for / worth investing in? Maybe a long hold for 15 years? it reminds me when Googl went public at $68 / share. What other businesses(business model expansion) can it expand into?

I notice that your “visual identity” for this workshop represents different sexes and different cultures - but no older people - who are now bearing the brunt of ageism. Why have we been left out?

Nadia, your Unconscious Bias training was so incredibly impactful for me and my team!! Brilliant. So stoked to see this crucial conversation on here. So many questions!

We are a small shop of 10 and are sorely lacking any people of color on our team. How do we recruit interest without coming right out and asking for POC to apply?

Day 1 of Glenn Singleton's Courageous Conversations About Race training today actually rocked my world. So many things I've never talked about or even considered talking about just bubbled up. 😱

Hosting a multicultural media mixer this Tuesday, Dec. 11 from 6-8pm in NYC. Essence, InStyle, BuzzFeed, CNBC and more will be in attendance. If you work for a media outlet, comment below.

I am a POC and just recently got pushed out of my new role. They told me I wasn't a good fit and failed to meet job requirements. Struggling to understand whether I was let go bc of my work ethic or

As someone who isn't a PoC I'm always unsure of how I should refer to others correctly. First question:

African American vs Black - what is more accepted?

I’m sad that instead of showing that there are no differences between human beings, we are advocating for races (what I understand it is very necessary). Just afraid that will create more division.

Does anyone have any useful articles, tweets, insta posts that I could send people when they say “if I can’t say that then what CAN I say, everything is offensive.” I’m tired.

Is there a Latinos in advertising bowl?!

Does anyone talk about economic diversity? You know middle class and economically challenged people who cannot afford art schools and expensive private colleges?

Does anyone have experience confronting workplace inequality? Any lawyer recommendations? Things to say/not say?

I don’t trust HR and I don’t know what to do.

Does anyone else feel a lack of trust at work? A lack of trust in your judgement, reasoning, ideas etc...

How do you navigate that, other than proving yourself repeatedly?

Feeling very discouraged.

How do you deal with culture of fear, where things are not reported or addressed in fear of retaliation?

As someone who isn't a PoC I'm always unsure of how I should refer to others correctly. 2nd question:

If referring to the only minority on another team is saying "the Asian/black/etc" guy offensive?
