We would be the ones who would create the strategic methodologies of marketing communication, entertainment, and news delivery. Yes, yes, that will be us.
I began to look throughout the audience of hundreds of heads nodding in agreement and then realized something that troubled me.
There wasn’t one black person in the room.
