“Reflecting on and adopting the use of micro-affirmations would be a positive strategy to prevent microaggressions. Micro-affirmations are small acts that foster inclusion, listening, comfort and support for people who may feel isolated or invisible in their environment. Focus on action, not avoidance – create new good behaviours.”

I loooove Maddy’s platform ♥️ #LatinoCreative
Work with HR to get a more candidates that are diverse in race, gender, ethnicity, etc. instead of the usual white male... there are many qualified candidates out there whose resumes don’t get past screening because their names don’t sound white. Do not accept the excuse of, “ there aren’t enough qualified candidates who are also diverse” ... that is NOT TRUE... and make sure you are not hiring a token candidate... once hired, give this person the opportunities they deserve, support them, be their advocate.
Im looking for an opportunity! DM me and I will share my CV
The Boom List, People of Craft. Entry level—so many ways through schools. I’m biracial, creative. Been sending my book to recruiters for 10+ years. Rarely get contacted. PLEASE get your recruiters to bring in diverse candidates, they are the gateway for majority of placements!!!
I’m constantly updating my book, doing that right now actually. I also freelance a lot so it’s difficult to get cherry work.
I’d love to see the tip list. TY.

Consider people who don't have ivy league educations.
Suggestion, use your company’s Twitter/Instagram:
‘XYZ wants to level the field, looking for people of color to apply/send in your books. Reply with your URL/Role/City/full time or freelance.’
Then you have a list of people/books to check out.
Boom.
Consider diverse candidates for roles that wouldn't ordinarily be staffed with diverse leaders.
Ignore a candidate s LinkedIn until looking at their portfolio. Letting their work speak for them before their profile picture helps.
And I hear the gradientgroup.com is supposed to be good for posting for diverse leaders.
Start with the sources. Too many people are focusing on choosing diverse talent from what’s already coming in, but the truth is what we even view as “talented” and “right fit” is broken. I think the fact that most agencies recruit only from hot ad schools or hot shops already puts the most diverse talent at a disadvantage. I say hot shops too, because they often only look at talent that made its way to renowned creative schools which are incredibly expensive and a massive barrier.
Are you hiring??
Yes!
