Yesterday, I gave a speech at the Wonder Woman awards reminding the industry that diversity can not and must not stop at Gender. When I left BET Networks, I was the only African Woman to lead a National adsales team. How is that possible in 2019. All women have to be each others sisters keepers. I said that often times I feel like I’m alone on an island. I decided not to wait for an invitation to anyone else’s island. One of my sisters/ advocates helped me pave a path in another industry. I shouldn’t have to leave the cable business to grow!! I’m calling sisterhood into action to make sure we intentionally provide a seat at the table for all women ( and men) for the next generation coming behind us. It’s called smart business. 50% of millennials are multicultural. Period.
