About Black TAXI: “Black TAXI is an initiative within the advertising agency, TAXI (@taxiagency) that is here to recruit and retain Black talent. It's their goal to have the same percentage of Black employees as our city has residents. At least. TAXI backs Black talent. And sure, that sounds good on a t-shirt or a LinkedIn post, but do you know where it sounds even better? In practice. That’s why they created an application structure for Black talent in advertising. Because they aren’t just talking the talk, they’re walking the walk.”
