Hey Daz.
Thanks for mentioning the work that 10,000 Black Interns does to address the racial disparities in employment opportunities – and the amazing organisations that partner with us.
The support is touching🤧🤎
A UK corporate has signed up to a scheme to hire black interns.
Can you imagine the outcry if a firm had signed up to hire the white working class?
It turns out that discrimination based around skin colour is ok this way around?!
How about you just take the most talented interns?
