Uber Chief Brand Officer Bozoma Saint John has called on white men to make noise about diversity in the workplace. CNN reports that Uber chief brand officer Bozoma Saint John has called on white men to encourage diversity in the workplace during a panel at the South by Southwest film festival. I want white men to look around in their office and say, Oh look, theres a lot of white men here. Lets change this,' said Saint John. She claims that its not the responsibility of minorities to encourage diversity: Why do I as the black woman have to fix that? Theres 50 of you, theres one of me. Yall fix it. Everybody else needs to make the noise I want white men to make the noise, said Saint John.
Saint John was hired to Uber in June shortly after the company faced a number of scandals, including criticism for lack of diversity amongst its executives. Ubers former CEO Travis Kalanick resigned from the company in June, the same month that Saint John joined the company. Uber released a diversity report in March 2017 that many felt reflected poorly on the company as it showed that the company had no technical leaders who are black or Hispanic. Across non-technical leadership roles, 3.7 percent of leaders were black, and 1.2 percent were Hispanic.
Saint John criticised Silicon Vallitsor its lack of diversity saying The number of African Americans in Silicon Valley is dismal. Saint John has worked at a number of Silicon Valley companies including Apple Music where she held a marketing leadership position, Its not up to one company its up to the entire industry to make sure that we are moving the conversation forward.

Water seeks its own level and I have never nor will never hire on a basis other than competency.
Me too. I was hiring once, and the best candidates all turned out to be male Filipinos (WAY out of proportion to their percentage of the local population). So what? I wouldn’t have cared if they were all one-eyed Uzbeks (or all white heterosexual Christian males). I won’t accept anyone other than the most qualified person available to me.
They cant make noise. Theyre being told by your friends to shut up.

Did she just leave a board meeting, dressed like that?

Ah, no.
I work with the most qualified people in my area. And most of them are dolts.
BOZOMA?
Seriesly?
Where I work the majority of people are (1) from India and (2) are African American. The minority are white or non-Indian Asian.

And familial abandonment and corner dime bag distribution. We suck at both of those. Doing OK in rural meth production, though.
Enough with the blacksplaining.
So dressing like a two-bit ho is her way of being responsible for the brand's image? While holding a drink? Bozoma is aptly named. She has about as much business telling people how to act as a junkie you find lying in the street.

She does. But it is a mark of the classiness of Freepers that it took 20 posts before someone said that.
Who could last even that long, looking at her? She’s a FIVE bagger and also needs her mouth sewn shut.
Well, they apparently have what they want now - a loud mouth black woman...ain’t nothing like ‘em! She could do this or be in Congress - I prefer she’d be out of sight - out of mind!
