At the global scale, as we continue to push forward and create solutions to long-standing challenges in our diversity, equity and inclusion work, there is no better person to lead these changes than Aliah.””As the daughter of immigrants, from a young age I was keenly aware of the systems that either supported or discounted various groups. This realization, along with ideas on how to promote inclusion, spurred my passion for advocacy. I’m driven to improve the experiences of people who are often on the margins and to achieve a more equitable workplace and society. I cannot think of a better place to continue igniting change than across the TBWA collective.” Aliah Berman, Chief Diversity Officer, TBWAWorldwide.
