What I love most is hearing all about diversity and inclusion at the office while being one of the few brown/black people at the office. I've never been invited/involved in any. It's things that seem to happen behind doors or magically in the press. It's seriously infuriating. Same goes for women efforts.

Thanks everyone. I appreciate all the comments (really I do). I get it, we shouldn't need this conversation at all. My agency is too comfortable with its white boys clubs and I wanted to see how others attempted to solve in a real way, not in an AdAge spotlight way.
