The 2020 census data is interesting as we think about DE&I metrics in the work place. Should we strive to have our offices have this level of diversity so it matches what’s actually reflected in our population?

Our diversity is our greatest strength. I hope agencies understand that.

I agree, and not just in the workplace.

Yes, we should.

At the holding company level, based on how they’ve reacted previously, the response will most likely be to double down on/invest in stronger relationships with ad agencies in Spain, Brazil, Mexico and Argentina to “target” that increased Hispanic population in America.

It’s an interesting question for sure. My agency is aiming to have 50% “diversity” by a certain upcoming year. But does it make sense to then go a step further and say “well if there are 100 people in our business, 18 of them should be Hispanic, 12 should be black” etc? How does a place walk the line between encouraging diversity and practicing tokenism? And how does one define diversity… not white? Lgbtq? Older people? Women? I have no idea and am not qualified to answer any of these questions 😬

Hello! It seems this bowl is not very active but I'd like it to be. So here's my story: Born & raised in PR, moved to CA for undergrad & have been here since then. I graduated from law school in 2019, followed by a 2 yr bk clerkship. I did the evening program. I really enjoyed law school, in spite of the microaggressions, the late nights, & crazy competition. Love all things diversity in the law. Anyway, currently looking for a position in NYC/DC area. 🤗

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!

Lots of right wing hysteria about liberals trying to engineer equality of outcome to correct sexual/racial inequities (in higher ed, for example). I think we all want socioeconomic, gender and racial barriers to opportunities to be addressed, but no significant number of people really believe in equality of outcome right? This is just a straw man argument.

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?

I used to care about and chase the opportunity to produce cool/fun/funny work.

Not about pushing for the most fun creative ideas—I still do that—I just don’t care enough to fight as much if they don’t get it. Definitely still feel genuinely defeated when truly awesome concepts get glossed over by a client who has no clue what they want.
