Black single parent? I see you. In the first of a 2-part episode, I'm enjoying a drink with deep, Black roots and sharing my point-of-view from the cubicles, conference rooms and Zoom calls of the marketing agency world. Where DEI is trending but is any real work being done? Where those who've been "hustling in place" for years are still asking: will I ever get ahead?
