Byron Allen
Founder, Chairman & CEO
Allen Media Group
THE WHY? Buying and rebranding Black News Channel as TheGrio Channel
scored Allen his latest big headline, but he's been ahead of the DEI curve
for decades. Allen champions Black-owned businesses and Black talent as
he continues to acquire local television stations, cable channels and streaming
services. He purchased HBCU GO, a free streaming service featuring
Historically Black Colleges and Universities, and his Black-owned Media
Matters initiative is already impacting Madison Avenue by persuading major
brands to allocate more ad dollars to Black-owned media companies.
HE SAYS... " Each chairman and CEO of every corporation in America
should become their own Chief Investment Diversity Officer and achieve
true economic inclusion as it relates to Black America and other communities. "
FIRST
INTERNSHIP: Open Mic Night at The Comedy Store as a 14-yearold
kid.
Victoria Anderson
VP, Legal Affairs
Mediacom Communications
THE WHY? Anderson volunteers her time to community service organizations
that foster diversity, equity and inclusion of African-American women,
and she's a member of the Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Access (IDEA)
Task Force for her local Junior League chapter. Dedicating herself to helping
build synergies and strength through shared experiences, Anderson works to
develop, empower and support diversity among female leaders at Mediacom
and to identify members of historically underrepresented populations to serve
on corporate boards and in community leadership positions.
SHE SAYS... " Unquestionably, Rocco Commisso has been the most influential
and dominant force in my career. Rocco understands what it means to be
an 'other' and acknowledges that doors do not open as readily for some, in
spite of their qualifications. "
Elizabeth Andrion
SVP, Regulatory Affairs
Charter Communications
THE WHY? Andrion has a lot on her plate as she and her team manage
interactions with federal agencies, but that doesn't negate her commitment
to being a mentor. She works with the Multicultural Business Resource
Group and is a regular speaker at events that promote leadership. Previously,
Andrion was co-chair of one of the working groups for the Schools Health &
Libraries Broadband Coalition, which works to close the digital divide.
SHE SAYS... " I have long practiced inclusion in developing talent, always
making sure everyone on my team feels comfortable speaking out and working
with others, as I firmly believe this is the best environment for learning. "
WHAT MAKES FOR A SUCCESSFUL EMPLOYEE RESOURCE
GROUP? Great camaraderie and a willingness to constantly share.
