Exploring the Racial Politics of DEI Leadership! Leading in the world of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) means navigating complex terrain, including the often-undiscussed topic of racial politics. What does it mean to be a DEI leader in the context of race? How can we address racial disparities while promoting unity and inclusion? Are we truly amplifying diverse voices and experiences? These questions drive our journey as DEI leaders. It's crucial to engage in open dialogue, acknowledge the challenges, and work collectively to dismantle barriers. Let's continue to explore and evolve our understanding of the racial politics within DEI leadership to create a more equitable and inclusive future for all. #DEI #RacialEquity #Leadership

Holidays thoughts : Top leaders aren't necessarily the best leaders. Here are the facts: ✔️ only 15 percent of CEOs at Fortune 500 companies are women, ✔️ there are just four Black executives leading Fortune 500 companies. Corporate ladder is simply not a fair game. That’s why being a good leader doesn't automatically make you a top leader. The main reason to lead shouldn't be for recognition, but simply because it's the right thing to do.

We know that advertising and marketing has a deeply racist and xenophobic history; to tackle racial and ethnic diversity without acknowledging that is like trying to drive with your eyes closed. Thinking "well I'm not racist" and staying silent doesn't tackle anything. White supremacy is a global systemic institutional problem, we have to actively be vocally anti-racist to even begin to tackle it. To stare your own white privilege in the face, acknowledge it, and challenge it is a deeply uncomfortable experience - and that's a good thing. White supremacy gives us social, educational, and occupational advantages; actively trying to diamante that probably scares you - and that's a good thing. So if you're working with an all-white all-British agency at the moment, just give it a moment to think about why you chose them.
