This week, we're joined by Danica Nelson, a senior marketing communications manager, marketing consultant, and Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion advocate. Here's what we covered:
[07:26] What is the role of Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion (DEI) teams and how to approach and set them up properly
[16:47] How can we get more Black people and POC's in marketing/advertising and tech?
[20:57] Bringing your true self to work - what does it mean to be unapologetically Black in the workplace?
[31:35] White people stepping down from their roles to make room for a Black replacement. Is it genuine?
[35:55] What does long term change look like from brands in the Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion space?
[41:09] Will you stop supporting brands that aren’t handling anti-black racism initiatives well?
