Ihave spent my entire 30-plus-year career as a talent lawyer. For most of that time, whenever I attended a team meeting of representatives, I have been the only Black person in the room.
It has been lonely, and it has been deeply troubling, but that hasn't been the worst part. The sad revelation has been that none of you seems to notice that I am the only one in the room.
When I've brought it to your attention, I received mumbled responses, lots of looking at the floor in shame and platitudes about how you knew your businesses needed to do better.
