The experiences of black PR professionals in the industry is the focus of latest podcast from PRWeek UK, which follows recent research on the topic.
Our guest on Beyond the Noise this week is Kamiqua Lake, founder of The Black Comms Network, which partnered with PRWeek on the new report called One Step Forward Two Steps Black.
The report, based on a survey of 170 professionals and conducted by Opinium, examines the lived experience of black and mixed race communications practitioners in the UK.
Beyond the Noise looks at some of the biggest issues affecting communications and PR. Download the podcast via Apple, Spotify, or listen on your favourite platform.
Lake is joined this week by PRWeek UK editor John Harrington and reporter Eliza Wiredu.
The trio discuss some of the major findings of the report, including the statistic that two thirds of black comms professionals have considered leaving the PR industry.
A lack of transparency around pay and progression opportunities is discussed, alongside the question of whether a lack of representation in leadership teams is a barrier.
The different types of microaggressions experienced by black and mixed race comms professionals are put under the spotlight.
Lake also offers her view on the kind of qualities possessed by progressive and inclusive employers and gives advice.
Meanwhile, agencies can still enter their data for the Pay Gaps Project from PRWeek and People Like Us. Click here for more details.
