Description

Representation matters in sports, music, advertising and entertainment. When you see yourself on the big and small screen, in ad campaigns and leadership roles, it creates a wider sense of possibility; you can more fully envision that doors are open to you. More diversity on screen, in ads, on stage and in decision-making positions goes a long way towards inspiring the next generation – the notion that we have to “see it to be it.” It also makes good business sense. Equity is not only important, it’s also good for the bottom line. It’s estimated that there are billions in untapped revenue given the lack of representation for all stories – and faces. So, what’s stopping these industries from achieving it?

Jimmy Etheredge (CEO – North America, Accenture) and Emmanuel Acho (FS1 Sports Analyst, former NFL Linebacker, and NYT Bestselling Author & Host, "Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man"), co-host Change Conversations. This podcast is about navigating business and life during a time of great technological and cultural upheaval, while creating a more equitable workplace – and a better world. Now, more than ever, business and community leaders are well-positioned to drive important and lasting change, creating a movement, not just a moment. Etheredge is committed to accelerating equality for all and showing businesses and people how to use their platforms and privilege to drive profound and purposeful change. He’s inspired by how Emmanuel is helping our country confront racism through his popular YouTube show and book, Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man. In Change Conversations, Jimmy and Emmanuel have unfiltered conversations with inspiring guests who are purpose-driven leaders, challenging us to step up, think differently, and make the kind of change that really matters – change to shape a more equitable future.
