DOES ALL BACKGROUNDS INCLUDE AGGRESSIVE WHITE MEN????

If you have client relationships then go for it! We need leaders like you and there are so many people hungry to work in an inclusive environment.

Uh, no.

If you were basing hiring on merit then the words “bro-dude” wouldn’t even cross your mind as an exclusionary attribute.

I think the key to a truly diverse agency is starting with juniors. Agencies pay juniors so little that you need to have other sorts of support to live, especially in cities. It’s not a rule, of course, but you can see it in the homogeneity of AEs and jr creatives.

I'm a white immigrant woman but check out for example the Black Pearl Collective, an org which supports and organizes educational and networking events for women especially of color (and their allies) who are leaders or founders or budding entrepreneurs. I've gone to some of their events and follow them. They're a very supportive and inclusive environment
