Conversations for a change. Ft. Jasmin Bedir (Fck the Cupcakes) // NO/BS EDITION
The Uncommon PodcastShow Notes
Jasmin Bedir is an “ad lady” who is the CEO of a very successful advertising agency in Australia. However, beyond her entrepreneurial spirit, she is a woman of change. She is going against the grain to change the norm in an industry that has kept minorities quiet for a long time.
Her social enterprise Fck the Cupcakes focuses on diversity, equality and inclusion. Their goal is to highlight, discuss and fight against gender inequality in Australian culture and the workplace.
For this podcast episode in collaboration with NO/BS events, we had a very thought-provoking conversation with Jasmin.
From a personal to a professional level, we spoke about her journey as an immigrant, the realities and nuances of working in ad land, her views about inclusivity, biases, privilege in the workforce and much more.
