Talent Acquisition Specialist - Mimconnect

Founded in 2016, Mimconnect began as an idea to help professionals of color in the media industry connect with one another. In two weeks of creating that group chat, over 300 professionals joined the community expressing how they were the only professional of color in their company, were continually looked over for promotions, were having trouble navigating corporate America, and more. 

Mimconnect is the most engaged network of black and brown professionals. Reaching
thousands of professionals of color, we help them navigate their careers through access to
career coaches, resources, and professional events. We partner with organizations to recruit & retain diverse talent and provide programming to propel talent forward.
