This episode features Lester Booker Jr., Vice President, Head of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Communications at Citizens Financial Group, Inc. We discuss his deep rooted passion around creating a pipeline to corporate America for Black talent, and why DE&I should still be a business objective for modern companies. We also discuss the challenge of keeping minority employees hopeful when changes are happening slowly and can feel like empty promises. Finally, Lester shares how he's using individualism and style in the corporate space to be viewed as more than another "suit."
