Getting more women and people of color in the ad industry has been talked about ad nauseum for decades, says Walker. “It is easy to talk about the need for change,” she says. “But what’s missing is consistent action. The real work lies in truly committing to ‘the how’ and disrupting the status quo to actually effect change.”

In celebration and commemoration of Juneteenth, we want to recognize how important the past month has been for the Black community both within our walls, and outside. Juneteenth signifies the date in which enslaved Blacks in Texas were finally set free in 1865, two and a half years after the executive order of Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation was signed. The cause of delay for the freeing of slaves can be directly correlated to the lack of representation. They had no elected officials, no voices, and no advocates.
Comparatively, the recent protests/movements have significantly elevated awareness of the ways in which injustice is still perpetuated against the Black community. What is different today is that along with this visibility, we are seeing advocacy amongst allies in ways we have never seen before. In honor of Juneteenth, HorizoNoir would like to highlight the positive changes that can be directly attributed to the protests as seen in this post – swipe right! Comment below and let us hear how you plan to celebrate Juneteenth and uplift the Black community!
