Discrimination | Top Vogue boss racially profiled at work

In recent months, the BLM movement has had a significant effect on the working world.

Major corporations the world over, such as Etsy, Nike, McDonald’s and Coca-Cola actively voiced their support for bringing about greater racial equality in the workplace, and released statements outlining key initiatives to bring about such change within their own workforce.
