I'm receiving several interview requests although feel a few may be Brian Flores set-ups. What tough questions should I ask to determine an organization's true commitment to DEI vs. quota checking?

Many don't have diverse leadership and this has been pointed out as an area of opportunity for them from the HR leads / recruiters.

Do all employees/leaders have DEI goals?
Are they transparent w/ diversity data?

I like the questions above - I think they get at the hear o things. I've seen the bait and switch thing happen way too much

I would want to know how deep they measure their goals. How are they determining success over the quarter and year?, how important is retention and their definition of retention? For example, is it progress over 2 promo periods? or two years at the agency or is it measured across the holding company?

Becoming An (Advertising) Influencer

There are a ton of white advertising influencers, most are mediocre. I'm curious everyone's thoughts on being Black in advertising and if you think we are shooting ourselves in the foot by not being as present online as our white counterparts.

I finally have work that I am proud of and can back up my stance, but I feel that it's not only too self-serving, but just creates a new class of gatekeepers, especially in our community.
