I am frankly tired of this as a person of color. I work in Silicon Valley and constantly being hassled by HR/PR/Marketing teams to pose as their diversity pawn.

I am frankly tired of this as a person of color. I work in Silicon Valley and constantly being hassled by HR/PR/Marketing teams to pose as their diversity pawn. Yes, I have a picture of me taken (company owns the rights) to put me at the fore front of their marketing materials.
- Impossible 5y agoYou can always say no to this. I've seen recruiters do this other places and people got their pictures taken down after the fact.
- systemvoltage 5y agoAt the time, it was not so easy to say no (when we had racial tensions in June last year). I'll try reaching out.
- nanis 5y agoI don't envy you ... Funny thing is, when I was in academia, I was always annoyed by being passed over in the "token Muslim" photo shoots because I did not fit white liberals' stereotypes of Muslims :-)
