“Ethnic Technologies is honored to join the strong team of major companies to support the work that Claudia Romo Edelman, founder of the We Are All Human Foundation, has undertaken and wholeheartedly supports The Hispanic Promise initiative,” said Zachary Wilhoit, Chief Executive Officer, Ethnic Technologies.
“We stand behind The Hispanic Promise, and by signing the pledge, as a company already engaged in inclusion and diversity, showcase our commitment as a Hispanic-friendly workplace, a welcoming employer for a Hispanic workforce and a company with deep understanding of the Hispanic consumer,” Wilhoit added.
"We must be the last generation of any kind to ever be invisible and not heard, not seen, not valued. We are the ones who have to open the door, so that our children can be a generation of Hispanic stars, fully valued, fully paid, fully respected and recognized. The time has come. We're ready to shine," said Claudia Romo Edelman, founder of the We Are All Human Foundation.
