Diversity
Twitter just released their first Diversity report since hiring ex-Apple Jeffrey Siminoff as their Head of D&I in Dec 2015. Since 2015, Twitter managed to increase the number of blacks from 2% to 3% and females (overall) from 34% up to 37%. In addition to sharing gender and race, Twitter is now also capturing the sexual orientation of their new hires (on a voluntary basis of course).

Diversity
This beautiful Danish TV station ad “All that we share” shows that putting people into boxes does not work and that we all have more in common than we think – definitely worth watching!
Gender Equality
The Super Bowl is coming up on Sunday, and as you most likely know, the commercials are always getting a lot of attention. This powerful advert “Daughter” from the German car manufacturer Audi will be aired during the third quarter and addresses gender equality and the wage gap. Also definitely worth watching!
