Cimone reflects on her journey of unhealthy advertisement growing up while telling her story of reshaping today's advertising world. Cimone Key founded Cimone Key Creative Studio, a multi-award-winning, multi-disciplinary, multicultural advertising agency. In her corporate career, she has worked at some of the top advertising agencies in Dallas, Texas. Her passion is to impact the world, primarily focusing on diversity, equity, and inclusion. 

After being declared legally blind at age 21, she made it her mission to be the change and make the world think about being inclusive in everyday advertisement, whether due to a disability, ethnicity, culture, gender, sexual orientation, or social status. She and her multicultural team want to remove racial bias and stereotypes by being authentic creative communicators for their clients, big or small. 

Cimone has a massive heart for the future generation, encouraging them to be in the field of S.T.E.A.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics) to help increase representation in the area that lacks it. Cimone currently lives with her husband and puppy in Dallas, Texas. This talk was given at a Loud Women Lead event.
