"Every business has an opportunity to stop being the gatekeepers of economic prosperity. Every single business has that opportunity. And so really in age of #BlackLivesMatter , no business is immune to this topic because every business has a role in the #systemicracism that the movement seeks to address. So I hope anyone listening, who thinks 'we're not part of the problem, and therefore we're not part of the solution.' I hope you take a moment to pause and really question that assumption because I do think this is a chance for all businesses to say, 'we actually have a role to play in the, in the solution here. We actually have a role to play in increasing economic prosperity for all. And to be honest about it.' And that's why you're seeing so many brands struggle to figure out what to do next. This is a new question. It's an age of accountability in sunlight, forcing brands to be quite honest about the dire state of #diversity - look at the #tech industry and look at the #investment community.
