I'm finally understanding what it really means to be a person of color in the advertising world.

I don't know how y'all have done it for so long. I'd quit today if I didn't need the health insurance.

Shared feelings. It’s very difficult and makes me want to quit this industry altogether because hiring, and retaining, diverse talent seems to be all talk. Here if you want to talk ✋🏽

CD1, What's public? I'm sorry if I don't understand.

EP1, oh yes. I see how that could be terribly misread now. My intentions were to say I've seen what it's like to be around a workforce that favors more POC and what it would feel like working around more POC (like myself). Absolutely nothing directed at JM hah.
