Description

February is Black History Month. To celebrate, we are airing a weekly four-episode series featuring exceptional African American leaders. I hope you will be inspired by these amazing leaders, just as I was, and share their stories with those you love and admire. In light of everything that went on in 2020 — from the murder of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor that sparked the Black Lives Matter Movement, to the emergence of the new, powerful voices like National Youth Poet Laureate, Amanda Gorman — I want to urge all of us to consciously lift ourselves up, and others, by focusing on all that we can be, and all we can become. In our first episode of the series, we are joined by Jabari Hearn, an amazing marketing executive. He is the SVP of Marketing and Entertainment at Westbrook Media and the co-founder of an incredible organization that is focused on accelerating the advancement and impact of marketers of color, called Monday Night Mentorship. Previously, Jabari was a VP of Brand at Lyft, a Global Marketing Director at Google (where he launched many award-winning campaigns such as the Google Pixel 2 and 3), and a Sr. Brand Director at Nike. In our conversation together today, Jabari speaks about his journey as a black leader in the marketing industry, the key lessons he has learned, and the wisdom he has for other leaders of color. He also shares about the exciting ventures he is currently a part of, how he has overcome struggles throughout his life and career, and his thoughts on what we can all do to propel the Black Lives Matter Movement forward and create more diversity as leaders.
