  • 5: jen cox / figure it out

    Jen(nifer) Cox is a real one. We used to work at a museum together. Parts of me wish we still did because our conversations are always so great!

    She's been in the marketing & advertising game for a while and talks about legitimizing herself as a Black Woman in the industry, her perspective on how organizations can be authentically equitable, and how some of the racial experiences she had from childhood have impacted how approaches her work...and we're joined by Pete, her dog!

    I'd love to get your feedback. If you or anyone you know is interested in being on the show, email me! [email protected]


    Jen's Recommendations:

    Carol H. Williams Advertising – Black-owned advertising agency

About Thorn in My Side

From the publisher's feed

It's the little things we ignore, isn't it? Thorn in my Side (TimS) takes personal stories from Black and brown individuals who are willing to share moments from their everyday encounters with racism. We're focusing on the experiences that don't make headlines, and how even these 'micro-aggressions' are more impactful than we give them credit for.
