About us
To bring more young Black people into advertising, ensuring they can fully express themselves, find community, and ultimately lead. BLAC (Building Leaders and Creators) is a paid twelve-week internship for creative thinkers that takes place at ad agencies across the country. Interns participate in shared experiences with shared resources and projects, and upon completion of the program become part of a network of peers and agency leaders who will continue to provide support throughout their careers. We are a champion for the more diverse and inclusive advertising industry of the future and seek to inspire and be inspired by a new generation of Black talent.

Congrats to the team behind #Blackweek for creating important conversations and building the space for learning and connection. Highlights: An emotional opening session with George Floyd's brother Philonise Floyd with Tru Pettigrew and the important work he is doing in community. The always inspiring Cindy Gallop on "Why the Future of Advertising is Black Women. An honest look at creativity and why Black Women beat "Mad Men" all the time - I mean how can you beat a panel with Gabrielle Shirdan, Shannon Washington, Whitney Michel, and Amira Martin moderated by Lea T? And why DEI will "never die," - Adrianne C. Smith even gave it a soundtrack. And there was so much more. Thank you Walter T Geer III, Amber Guild, andre gray, Joseph Anthony, and team. (And so great to hang out with BLAC Internship Program fellow board member and past intern Justina Smith. ❤️
