“The fight for a more equitable workplace is one I have more or less been a part of since I entered the work force in 2019. As a Black woman, I understand the limitations diverse candidates feel when it comes to Corporate America. We want to create a work environment and culture where people show up to work as the same person they are outside of work. It’s all about empowering our people to be themselves. Bring your purple hair! Show your tattoos! Be you!”

“I began my career as a Recruiter in our Cincinnati location and felt passionate to pursue a career with our TA Team because I was so in love with IG, our culture and the opportunity IG was able to give others. Our company’s recognition of Pride month has been something I have been proud of. I feel very welcomed and celebrated here. Being a part of an inclusive environment is so important to me.

The Diversity Council was formally introduced to the company in January 2020 at our Dallas conference. I was invited to be a part of this conversation and share my story. Being totally transparent, I was terrified. Dialogue around who I am has rarely been positive. So saying the words, “I’m gay” in front of thousands plus a few hundred more tuned in online was daunting. My company has been nothing but supportive of me so I expected it to go smoothly but I certainly didn’t expect the cheering and standing ovation that followed. Every rejection and painful memory of my past are now far outweighed by the overwhelming love and support I felt in those 15 minutes by my colleagues across the country.”
