With the Black Lives Matter movement making agencies think about diversity, I thought it would help Latin Americans as well. Unbelievably, people STILL think it’s okay to broadly assume Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, Cubans and Dominicans are not “qualified” to work in advertising. Look https://joinfishbowl.com/post_gkppjui

Is anyone wondering what life will really be like for all the new Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion executives that many companies are hiring and bragging about now? I wonder how much power they will actually have to effect change. I wonder how long the trend will last.

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.

Thank you Nadia for your insights. I’m frustrated gaps still exist in the industry; and the diversity & inclusion needle hasn’t move much since Al Sharpton protested on Madison Ave in the 90’s

Such a great discussion. I’ve just started a bowl for diversity in London specifically if anyone is interested - 9qo8f

I am curious how other inclusion teachers are being utilized when the school is doing remote learning. I find that I am sitting in the zoom class and have very little opportunity to contribute. I am having discussions with my teachers on ways that I can better support them and the students when remote.

My heart really goes out for the women in Pakistan, the amount of harassment they face on daily basis. I wonder why that is, is the root cause the extreme level of gender segregation.

Finance has received quite a bit of flack for lack of gender diversity - but how can firms go about attracting and retaining more female talent?

I recently saw a job opening at a company that I really love, and would like to apply. The recruiter has posted it on her Linkedin several times, each time with multiple hashtags about diversity. I am straight off the Mayflower white. Does applying look super tone-deaf? Is this an unofficial way of stating that they’re only considering non-white individuals for the role?

any advice on resources/connections to identify transferable skills after spending 20 years in media strategy/planning & recently client operations? ideally want to get out of hamster wheel ad agency world and into more meaningful areas like non-profit organizations, hiring diversity initiatives, etc. Open to taking pay/title/role step back if needed

Been for a company for over 2years. The executive team is very much a boy's club. There are a few women in management roles but zero ethnicity diversity there. I raised my concern to HR in feb. And they are just now deciding to do something about it. They want me (white female) to put together a diversity committee. Any suggestions on how to go about it? How to attract volunteers to the committee? I want to make sure I get the right people involved in this, to push for changes.

I’m going to be starting my IVF journey. I was told that you can choose the sex of your baby. This intrigues me but I also feel as though it’s an attempt to play God. For those of you who have gone through this, what did you and your significant other end up doing?

What are your thoughts on working at a multicultural agency? I am more for fighting the good fight to properly represent the Hispanic community and address it as part as the General Mkt (as is should be) and I worry that if I switch to a multicultural-focused place I will never convey the thoughts of being part of the total market. Am I overthinking it? Gracias!
