46 - Derek Walker on understanding white privilege, and diversifying your boardrooms
Manage episode 314610941 series 3255511
This has to be one of the most thought provoking and powerful episodes I've recorded to date. What a way to start Season 2 of the Azeem Digital Asks podcast. Joining me is the incredible Derek Walker, someone that I have looked up to for a long time.
Derek describes himself as the chief instigator, janitor, secretary and mailroom person for Brown and Browner advertising, and has over 30(!) years experience in the industry as a Black agency founder - as well as being passionate about Diversity and Inclusion.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Defining White privilege
- What (if any) progress he's seen throughout the industry when it comes to being more diverse and inclusive
- Why he thinks companies are hesitant to address this
- His response to the critique of “we dont need more black and asian people in the boardroom, we simply need more talented people”
- Where companies can start to address this issue
- What white people can do to better understand their POC colleagues
...and so much more!
