Soda is in the news. Or pop, depending on where you were raised. Given that product’s history of marketing in Black and Latino communities in particular, what kinds of shifts in tactic do you anticipate seeing in coming years? (I’m already seeing a surge in fizzy drinks using tropical fruit flavors and blends popular in Latin America, but with no real Latino involvement beyond the flavors, for instance).

I teach 4th and 5th grade.
I am not out to my students and families.
I am a very loved and "popular" teacher at school for my ability to build relationships and engage.

I am worried that coming out or rather being outed may affect my ability to build relationships because parents who have issues will inevitably relay certain messages to their children.


Coming out in an elementary setting is different from a middle or high school setting I feel. Anyone else?

I feel like I'm at my wits end. I teach self-contained classes and according to the ISBE website my classes shouldn't be more than 8 students unless I have an aide - then it can be 10.

Is anybody else out there going through illegal class sizes for self-contained? How are you dealing? Maybe a vent session is in order.

The marketing for Black Adam is genius! I wish I was in entertainment. If you could choose one industry to do marketing for what would it be? For me it's easily film or games.

Hey, so I’m going to my first 3% conference. I heard it’s usually white feminism x 100. But I was wondering what I should expect? Has anyone been.

Is there any industry recognition for poc creatives the way adage and others recognize creatives?

If I got a raise for every micro aggression I’ve received while at my current agency, I’d be in a really high income bracket! Hah.

Is it just me or does it seem like teams with high diversity function the best and have the most creative work? Whenever I've worked with ie POC and fellow gay people, the work has always been stellar

Who is trying to get together for a meet up in NYC? Want to start bring minorities in our industry together.

How painful was it to watch the situation in Charlottesville? I'm beginning to think that hatred is a unending part of American culture. No solution. No kumbaya. Just is what it is.

Happy Black History Everyone, let's make this a truly historic month!!

We might be receiving stipends for professional development, I would like to use it towards a conference, which are some good ones to consider?

Is everyone from a big city or do we have some south and midwest represented??

Counterpoint: I’m one of the few POC at a large agency and it’s really dope to be seen as an example of why agency diversity makes the work better. Any struggle outside of that is minor.

After 15 years in the industry, I can really say that these last few years have been the most challenging in terms of navigating all the sensitivity and political correctness.

Does anyone know of a place that gives the current or most recent numbers/percentages for the amount of POC in the industry now?

Anybody struggle with imposter syndrome as a minority? How and why? Need some coping strategies man.

Anyone else hearing from multiple WOC who had their Times Up RSVPs cancelled after the fact?

How correct is the term “African American"?
What about black people from Haiti, Caribbean, etc.

Is it about where people are indigenous to?

Not all Black Americans are African American,
right?

I’m still trying to process seeing an agency exec well known for dismissing and ignoring POC held up as an exemplary diversity champion for women at the 3% Conference.

Do you drink or do anything wild at company holiday parties or events? I feel like as one of the only minority associates I have to be extra careful to stay professional. All my white coworkers can talk about is the open bar and how crazy everyone gets...true or false for your company?
