Black Women in the Automotive Industry
What's not to love about the automotive industry? Beautiful designs, luxury, and of course...an everyday need: transportation. I love to attend the auto show to check out the latest innovations, the artistry, and the creative concepts. Since the late 90's, I've walked the Metro Toronto Convention Centre floors annually to take a look at "what's new" and "what's hot" on the car scene. I've even purchased a specific car model that I first lay eyes on at the show, and always appreciate the opportunity to get the up-close look at the interior and variations as well. I enjoy attending the event, even moreso now that I can participate in the Media Day, and share perspectives such as these. Beyond my lens as an amateur car enthusiast, I still walk away from each event wondering: where are all the Black folks in this industry? There was definitely diversity evident yesterday: I noticed a good amount of Asian, South Asian, and Caucasian folks present.
