Show Notes

Special Guest – Mita Mallick
      
 Mita Mallick has spent over 15 years as a storyteller. Leading iconic brands like AVEENO, AVON Color Cosmetics, Chapstick, Vaseline, Suave, and Dove. Throughout her career, she has fought hard to ensure people like her are included. Ensuring black and brown people were represented in campaigns. Ensuring products Unilever created were for all skin tones. Ensuring Unilever was not reinforcing stereotypes. She believes the diversity of thought doesn’t happen without diversity of representation. When you have all those points of view, life experiences, and cultural backgrounds are coming together around a table. Colliding, clashing, and collaborating- that’s when the magic happens. Unilever has redefined how Diversity and Inclusion are embedded in a culture and brand.
