Hey ATL friends! Grab early bird tix to @TheAPledge's annual meeting. I'm presenting an interactive, hands-on keynote to kick us off with intentional action as we commit to taking action to combat systemic racism in #Adland.

Help, pls! Need a contact at @WellsFargo ASAP. My elderly dad was the victim of online fraud & I've spent 2+ weeks and COUNTLESS hours and am getting the runaround. The lack of service is infuriating & heartbreaking & we need his fraud claim resolved.

Have #privilege? Use it to help others.
"#Privilege. It’s not a dirty word. It’s not something to feel guilty about. What’s important is what we do with that privilege–how we use it to lift others up, to better the world around us." Read on for takeaways on how to be a better ally. #AntiRacism

My words won’t do justice to @caroranwill’s. Please read.
“I have rape-colored skin.” Poet @caroranwill, with what should be the last word on why monuments to the Confederacy are redundant. Those monuments are already here, walking amongst you: we, descendants of the slavers. And still, racists want us destroyed.

Read this. And do better, agencies!!!!!!!
I spoke to 26 Black agency professionals who detailed their experiences with racism and microaggression at work; pointing to a disturbing pattern that is industry-wide and raises questions over whether shops are really willing to change

On top of unequal pay, "Black mothers face a constant fear for their precious children’s lives & are forced to watch them grow up in a world that devalues them. We must recognize the enormous toll this daily stress takes." #MomsEqualPay #BlackLivesMatter
