Hmmm 🤔 isn't it ironic that so many companies proclaim their commitment to diversity and inclusion yet their PR teams ironically ‘forgot’ to post on social media for Juneteenth? Their PR teams didn't have amnesia though because they posted their results at Cannes and I'm sure the post for the 7/4 has already been designed and proofed. Yeah, action or lack of was giving last week (not surprised). Thoughts? Did you have Juneteenth off? Did your company post on social media about Juneteenth?

Damned if they do, damned if they don’t. I’m ok with the ones who don’t have anything authentic to add to the conversation being quiet. With all things considered, it’s honestly for the best. What good is a social media post really doing for any of us any way?

is it ironic? or are agencies tired of being performative? Even when the majority were proclaiming “commitments to diversity” and “we will do better” little to nothing actually happened or was sustained 😒

Considering that I passed by a bank with a sign that said they would close for "a federal holiday" instead of actually stating Juneteenth last week, I can't say that this surprises me. I really don't like being the cynical one, but I can't say I didn't see this coming after certain people started twisting woke into a four-letter word.

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.

Whenever I got promoted to digital ACD a few years ago, I noticed my pay was much lower than I expected for the market I’m in, hard to find skillsets, performance, and visibility I’ve brought to the agency. I’ve brought this up a few times and was told HR would do research into salary equity, but the convo always fades. I put my foot down with my GCD, and she supports me, but I would like to come to the table with my own research. Where should I be looking for accuracy?
