I joined BMAA because I believed it would be a place where I belonged and it has certainly been. As a marketer I’ve kinda always been the one black guy on all my teams and I wanted to be around other black marketers.

A place where I can speak without the fear of being socially correct and find understanding among my peers. A place where I could live as me and fit in without the need to dilute ‘Dwayne.’

I encourage other black marketers to join BMAA as well, it’s our space, our place, to learn, live and elevate each other.
