Making the Case for Mentorship: 5 Lessons from The List’s Female Quotient Panel at Sundance

Mentorships can be career-changing for any young professional – but the potential value for professionals of color is even greater.

I recently had the pleasure of moderating a panel at The Female Quotient’s Virtual Equality Lounge at Sundance Film Festival.

Joining me were List members Shannon Jones, co-founder of Verb, and YuJung Kim, president of The Dodo, along with Facebook's Global Head of Digital Marketing and Partnerships Brandi Pitts. The four of us had a candid conversation about the ways in which mentorship can open doors, elevate voices, establish trust – and ultimately improve diversity in the workforce.

Head to Ad Age for the top takeaways from the panel – and to adagethelist.com to learn more about their mentorship program, created in partnership with Facebook Elevate.
