The past two years has seen more discussion about diversity and inclusion than ever before, but just how much progress has been made in making our industry more representative of the country we live in when it comes to race. From hiring practices that fail non-white applicants to company cultures that neglect ethnic minority employees, this panel discussion hosted by the editor-in-chief of Marie Claire, Andrea Thompson addresses the barriers to making our media teams more diverse and the steps we need to put in place to create meaningful sustainable change.
The panelists joining Andrea include:
Hannah Ajala, journalist, presenter and founder of We Are Black Journos
Anita Bhagwandas, journalist & broadcaster
Dennis Lye, European design director, GLAMOUR
Hikmat Mohammed, fashion and general assignments editor, WWD
