How many advertising folks out there are being impacted by DACA? How can your coworkers be there for you? As if inclusion in our business weren't hard enough on an ordinary day. ❤️

I would say it's high-time to contact elected representatives on both sides of the aisle to get the Goddamned Dream Act passed in Congress. This legislation by Executive Order bullshit was only ever a stopgap to the real solution, which is legislation by Congress. Maybe advertising agencies (and their clients) could put their efforts where their mealy mouths typically are and start pushing pro-bono awareness campaigns to pressure those do-nothing fuckwads in the House and Senate to get something passed. Apparently McConnell and Durbin seem to think they can get it through the Senate, and Ryan is willing to take it up in the House. Nothing lights a fire under these people's asses like bombing their phones, social media and inboxes with a deluge of constituent opinions. Getting some major corporate names in on the act wouldn't hurt either.

You CAN be that leader that people want to work with. 1st, self assessment is required. Be honest: As a leader,have you engaged in/accepted Attribution Bias with a dash of gender &/or race bias? (See the pic) This is something we all need to be aware of as we lead our teams, provide performance feedback, & model the behaviors we'd like to see more of on our teams. Be on the lookout for Attribution Bias in yourself & on your team. It's a hindrance to creating a high-performing, inclusive culture.

What do you wish design students would learn in school to ease the transition into needs of business? I have seen an increasing need for more education/inclusion/overlap into other areas of business that depend on design teams so they understand what goes into the process. As well as design teams into the other business teams. This would alleviate tensions and improve quality product delivery due to the major miscommunications that occur so frequently.

I love my job and the people I work with, but there’s one thing that really bothers me: the lack of diversity. Sometimes when I walk into the office and see everyone else around me as the only POC, it feels kind of weird. I don’t think anyone here has ever said anything racist or sexist to me personally, but I don’t feel comfortable talking about these issues with anyone because they might take it personally and then things could get awkward between us.

Hi! First time working with a larger company - suggestions on handling pronouns at work?

I’ve worked with smaller agencies where it was easier to bring up. Now I’m on a larger team, talking to/referencing people I’ve never met. I’m less concerned about my own pronouns and more concerned about how to make sure I’m using the correct pronouns for the people I work with.

I’ve been structuring sentences to avoid gender specific pronouns but would love to hear suggestions. Thanks!
