Seems like something’s missing from this Cannes discussion of intersectionality.

Ladies - Where do you shop for "real clothes"? Where do you get outfit inspiration? Like summer dresses, tshirts? Going out tanks? Idk what else there are.

31F. I have only worn sports bras, and gym outfits the last 5 years... And would like to have new set of clothes to "adult" / be more feminine in.

My style/taste is casual chic, or smart chic. I like wearing trenchcoats for outerwear, white sneakers.

How often do jobs hire you for one position but once you get there tell you you have a different (worse/ less senior) title? It’s happened to me twice in a row in the tax field.

How do you manage food timing and workout schedules with the crazyness that is advertising working hours?

Which companies & roles pay very well, hybrid work approach, and allowed unlimited pto?

How much are Hilton/Marriott General Managers making in New Jersey ?

Anyone know any good salons I can get a women’s haircut under $100 in Manhattan?

1st year business law (solicitor) wanting to transition to comm lit. Tips?

What are the differences between the AML services offered by Forensics practices versus those offered by core Advisory or Consulting practices?

I find this bowl both inspiring and depressing as I’m at the lowest of lows in financial terms of my life. Ugh.

What are some good resources to prepare for data science interviews?

Anyone here ever taken Focus Factor? I’m on Strattera but am considering a switch because the regular appointments and cost of medication really adds up. Am curious to know if anyone feels like Focus Factor helped.

Is Einstein’s genius blown out of proportion in popular media or was his work as revolutionary as it gets praise for?

How are people dealing with WFH isolation? I feel like I shell of a person having not been around people for a year. I don’t think teams really care to talk about anything either.

Any recommendations how to land a scrum master role?? I have the PMP and a CSM certificate, I know the agile methodologies but don’t have a professional experience. I am in the Project management construction industry for 7 years.

Eyeball trick is working, someone please tell me this could change. My status shows from Attended to No Credit now😭😭😭

100% confirmed Apple getting into self driving Vehicles.

So I knew this coming but… how do you manage to inject yourself the trigger shot? Do you have your partner do it? Im so scared😱

Does anyone else feel like now that protests have “simmered” from this summer, all the promised initiatives have fallen to the side? For example, commitment to inclusive hiring. Every new hire announcements my agency has appeared to be white and cis-gendered. So curious if anyone else sees that the promises aren’t being met or talked about anymore.

Any Chinese Creative here? Copy/Art? Or CD level and up? Been working for 6 years and I am the only Chinese Creative at every single place I’ve worked.

I'm irked whenever I'm in a meeting and my strategist and AE's refer to black Americans as "AA's" I'm bugged every. single. time.

Most challenging experience as a minority in the business? Underestimated? Pigeonholed? Feared?

Do you think winning awards help you get better positions? I feel like people barely see the awards I've won on my resume. It's more discussion about my experience.

I fee this in my soul. It's the old saying I guess. Gotta work twice as hard to get half as much!

Just found out someone reporting in to me has a higher salary. Has this happened to anyone else?

I’m beyond exhausted of working in majority white spaces. Even when you speak up and try to educate (to avoid the agency looking like a dumb ass to Black celeb talent) it’s dismissed…

I'm not perceived as meek in Asia but when i moved to NA my reviewer told me I am. He told me to be more confident & cited some coworkers (all white)Now im getting crappy jobs because of my 'meekness'

Black people in media at manager and above roles, I’m looking for a mentor. Is anyone willing?

PDX: I’m in an unhealthy agency & it’s finally become unsafe for me w/ HR.

Would a person who has navigated racial weirdness in this town be willing to let me take you out to coffee + chat for a bit?

Was chatting with a CD at my agency and he mentioned that it’s harder for a middle age white guys like him to get a good job right now because agencies are hiring more woman and POC CDs. God that was uncomfortable. People are so not self-aware. Saying that to a minority. Really?? I bet it’s still easier for white men to get more offers than me. 🤦‍♂️

Interested in your thoughts: The ad industry has about 655,000 ppl (2016) of that only 4.1% are AA. A drop from 6.6% (2014) and also a drop in total from 685,000 ppl. Do we see an increase in AA for this industry? Why the departure from the industry? What is preventing us from getting into positions to impact more AAs in leadership roles?

My agency is opening up applications for a DE&I Committee leader for the first time. This person will be responsible for overhauling how the agency approaches diversity, including employee training, internships, new business model and client communications. However, the role is a voluntary one-year term with no extra pay or incentive. There is no budget for this person to be trained themselves. How are your companies handling new diversity leadership? How should I voice my concern?

Anyone have advice for mid 30s professional with experience in film and photo. Looking to pivot to f/t agency? Not a huge social networker and might need some help with my resume.

Every year people share their Spotify year-end wrapped in our Slack channels.

And each time it reminds me how incredibly homogenous the creative dept is. No hip hop, no country, no Latino vibes.

All Bon Iver and Taylor Swift for days. Anybody else?

I feel like so much of the media discussion about people NOT going back to work is centered on POC. I have white coworkers just as frustrated. Is this just another example of how POC are having the authentic conversation no one else is willing to have?
