I really like what OP is saying here. How can we make it so that diversity is seen as a competitive advantage in the creative process rather than a corporate box to tick?

My wife and I are moving to Boston from overseas (we’re from Italy and we’ve recently won the diversity visa green card lottery).

We are looking to rent a 1BR starting in January, ideally for ~$3k/month. I’ll be working in the downtown area.

Do you recommend we go for a serviced/luxury apartment (e.g. Montaje, 345 Harrison, etc.) or hire a broker to get a “normal” apartment?

Any managed buildings recommendations within our budget? Also, what are some good brokers we could work with?

Thanks!

Hi! Welcome! What are your positions in an inclusion classroom? How’s it been going so far this year?

Hi,
I'm currently working as Manager for Marketing and Communications in a financial inclusion based fintech. I have a total of 2.5 years experience and 1.5 years in Marketing, mostly Digital and Social Media. I hold an MBA from IIFM 2018-2020 ( Indian Institute of Forest Management). Any leads for relevant openings will be much appreciated. Cheers!

Have efforts to increase diversity in real estate careers been successful, or do you think there is still a long way to go?

Would it be wild if I added my preferred gender pronouns to my signature? (He/his)

Anyone from Nationwide? I’d like to hear feedback from current and old employees about the work environment, salary (G3), development, diversity etc. I completed an interview for Claims Manager position.

Does anyone have any metrics/ benchmarks they could share on diversity hires? We're putting goals together for 2023 and our senior leadership wants 30% of all candidates interviewed and hired to be gender or ethnic diverse.

Hey Gente, Im applying for jobs and I wanted to get others opinion on the race part of the application process. As an indigenous LatinX I worry that if I put indigenous it won’t tick the “diversity” box for the algorithm or recruiters. I work with (not in) the I&D dept at my company and our target recruiting groups don’t include or mention indigenous. Any recruiters here that have insight?

Is anyone wondering what life will really be like for all the new Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion executives that many companies are hiring and bragging about now? I wonder how much power they will actually have to effect change. I wonder how long the trend will last.

Latinx - help! We used this term in our diversity spotlight discussing Hispanic Heritage Month. One individual said that in English a group of Latinos would just be Latins to be gender neutral. I understand the word is controversial but is “Latins” grammatically correct? I assume we should just say Latin Americans, but trying to understand if Latins is also accurate.

General question: Is there any room in corporate America for real, actionable DE&I discussions and initiatives? I've observed so many corporate versions become an advertising strategy (SM posts, diversity reports) without doing the actual work (increasing representation in senior leadership, salary analyses, having an effective reporting system for bias). Is this just how it is?

How’s work life balance in forensics?

Just began studying for the CFE exam. I have access to past editions of the ACFE Fraud Examiners Manual. Does anyone have recommendations on where to get good practice questions? I’d like to avoid spending a fortune on the ACFE kit.

Hello everyone! Please is there anyone who could kindly give a referral for the associate, compliance, risk and due diligence role (Canada) advertised by Kroll? I have been trying to reach the recruiter for ages! I would be really grateful. Thank you.

Do any firms in the forensics world offer to pay for MBAs?

Hi ,

How is job security at Freshworks ?

Thanks in advance.

Are there downsides to wearing a datejust to work, for a first year analyst ? Would you recommend against it ?

I know this might not be the place. But I need help to find a driving instructor in Toronto. Please provide names or tips.

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.

Is the one D&I professional in this business that hasn’t had to create a grassroots movement?

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.

Hi, Nadia!:) What's your perspective on white fragility? I'm a white immigrant who grew up shielded from racism in a homogeneous society and want to help white people deal with their fragility but...

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

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?

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.

Mcgarrybowen San Francisco? Any thoughts?

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?

Thinking about the NFL today and that I really don't want to work on anything connected to football. Given how dangerous we know this sport is I don't feel right supporting it. (Continued in comments)

Good people, it’s time to bid y’all farewell. Thank you 🙏🏾 Please keep this conversation going with each other and at your agencies. Will post a recap in a bit. Holler at me for anything at all—nadia@culturecipher.org.✌🏾

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!

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. 😱

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?

How do you have a conversation with someone that makes an unknowingly inappropriate or insensitive comment that not only impacts you but others around your office?

Is there a Latinos in advertising bowl?!
