Breaking Systemic Barriers Through Workplace Reform and Entrepreneurship
It has been widely reported that the advertising industry faces critical challenges, particularly around diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I) in the workplace. Among the most pressing issues is the prevalence of sexual harassment, which systematically hinders female leadership and drives
out underrepresented talent. Addressing these concerns requires organizations to take bold, proactive steps to eliminate bad actors and dismantle the systems that enable them while cultivating inclusive environments.
However, creating systemic change extends beyond workplace reform. For underrepresented and marginalized groups, entrepreneurship offers a powerful avenue for reshaping workplace cultures. By building their own businesses, these groups can design environments informed by their lived experiences. Having encountered bias firsthand, they understand the barriers that need to be addressed and are uniquely equipped to implement infrastructure that promotes equity and inclusion.
DE&I is more complex than the headlines suggest. It is not just about increasing representation. To drive real change, the focus must shift to dismantling the systemic barriers that perpetually limit individuals' potential, such as sexual
harassment, hiring bias, and societal taboos that obstruct funding equity for founders.
In this episode of The New Mainstream podcast, Cindy Gallop, Founder and CEO of MakeLoveNotPorn, discusses how challenging biases and championing inclusivity can help
industries unlock untapped potential and create environments where all voices are empowered and valued.
