Monica Hill was among the employees Sony filmed to promote the company’s diversity. But she says she experienced racism in the workplace and was driven out for speaking up.

with Black Lives Matter and the Black community at large, Hill said that in her experience the company did not live up to such statements.

After Sony asked Hill to appear in the Black History Month video in January, Hill said, her supervisor, senior sales manager Jaime Raffone, pushed back on Hill appearing in it.

Hill said that working for the company had been a dream since she’d gotten her first pair of Sony headphones years ago.
