Could this be a turning point for inclusion?

We've had to take a breath, let it all sink in, post the US 'blue wave.

Following the results, top progressive figures declared that 'DEI is back' as voters simultaneously elected a historically diverse slate of leaders across the country.

So let's celebrate just a few historic firsts for diversity, as the election ushered in unprecedented levels of representation:

Keisha Lance Bottoms was elected in Georgia as the first Black female governor in US history.
Gina Hinojosa won the Texas race, becoming the state's first Latina governor.
Xavier Becerra was elected as California's first Latino governor.
Abdul El-Sayed won in Michigan to become the first Muslim US senator.
Chris Pappas the first openly gay man elected to the Senate in New Hamshire.

After spending nearly a decade driving change across diversity and inclusion, there is no doubt the
last two years have been incredibly challenging.

So we'd like to shout out our clients that have always believed in this mission to work towards equity, champion diversity and those that put inclusion as an integral part of their visions - not in the middle - not at the end and most certainly not as an afterthought but as a core pillar in their output.

The bigger inclusion story in the US is not just about who is elected, but which communities have a seat at the table and how their experience shape the decisions being made.

For millions of people, seeing someone like them in power changes what they believe is possible.

Now, let's reflect that in our advertising.
