Project snapshot

Our project addresses the lack of diversity in the advertising and media industry by creating a safe space for people of color. This platform supports networking, mentorship, and professional growth. We aim to enhance diversity, establish a supportive community, and promote wellness. We foster a sense of belonging and professional development by providing targeted networking opportunities and wellness events. This project is crucial for breaking down local barriers, fostering growth, and providing opportunities for people of color. MSB Staffing leverages community ties and internship programs to support this initiative. To ensure sustainability, we’ll explore partnerships with local businesses and establish a membership model, guaranteeing ongoing support and growth. By connecting local talent with businesses, we contribute to New York City’s economic future.
