Titled the Kelly Initiative, the petition calls on the CFDA to conduct an industry census and make public its findings on the racial makeup of the employees of its member organizations. Companies that participate would then be tasked with conducting bias-mitigation training for hiring managers and pledge to create equity for Black talent. Similarly, the letter asks recruitment firms to sign the pledge and participate in a third party audit.
In an email, a CFDA representative explained, “the CFDA immediately began implementing programs outlined in the statement we issued on June 4. Donations have been made to the NAACP and Campaign Zero. The CFDA is continuing its relationship with Bethann Hardison and Harlem’s Fashion Row on diversity initiatives, and will also work with the Black in Fashion Council led byEditor-in-Chief Lindsay Peoples Wagner and publicist Sandrine Charles.
That sounds great to me
