The black effect.

RBG’s mission is to create a safe place for employees at Huge identifying with the African diaspora. We encourage mentorship, constructive dialog, and the learning of that shared history, its impact on the present, and what it means for the future. Alongside allies, we promote a supportive environment that embraces and celebrates melanin. Email RBG@hugeinc.com to learn more andjoin our mailing listfor invites to future events.

RBG Affinity Group

The black effect. 
A community mixer & panel discussion about being a black face in predominantly white spaces. 
On Thursday, November 8th 2018 from 5:30pm-8:30pm at MOCAD, Huge's Red Black Green affinity group will be holding its inaugural Detroit community mixer as the affinity group’s first public event in this city. Join us for drinks, music, and a panel discussion featuring some friends of ours who we’ve found to be motivating, admirable and truly inspiring. Our speaker panel will consist of talented individuals from their respective industries shedding light on their personal and professional challenges, successes, and what they've learned along the way.
Panelists (All Native Detroiters!):
Nikki Shaun Taylor - Born and raised in the city of Detroit, Nikki is the Vice President of the Detroit HBCU Network where she works tirelessly to educate parents and students on the significance and importance of an education at historically black colleges and universities.
Justin Norman - Growing up in the 7 mile and Livernois area of the city, Justin currently works as an Associate Creative Director at Huge Detroit.
Megan Watt - Currently, works as a consultant in Healthcare IT, implementing Electronic Medical Records in Hospitals. Megan is from the west side of Detroit, growing up on 8 mile and Evergreen to be exact.
Ken Walker - Most recently was the head of all diversity and inclusion at Campbell Ewald for its offices in Detroit, Los Angeles, and New York. Ken is originally from the west side of Detroit (Telegraph and 7 mile).
Together, we'll touch on the struggles of being black in a corporate setting, how some of us have learned to navigate it, the pitfalls, the successes and more. Join us at "the black effect!"
