Shaping the Conversation

“Inclusion is something that you can smell in the air here,” according to Associate Creative Director Diego Almanza Barrera. Here, employees live and breathe inclusion, empowered by a culture that celebrates the uniqueness of every individual. Barrera and the rest of Snap’s employees have the opportunity to share their ideas — and actually see them in action. Whether they’re crafting an impactful campaign or finding new ways to drive diversity internally, everyone plays a part. At Snap, every small step toward equity matters. That’s why every team member, regardless of their role or background, is always encouraged to contribute to the conversation — and shape it in a way that resonates with them and the rest of the world.

Freedom to Work Authentically

The chance to share ideas freely

When Barrera moved to LA to step into his role at Snap, he wasn’t sure what to expect. “In the beginning, I was so nervous [about] presenting ideas because I wanted to sound in the way that I sound in my native language,” he said. But those initial jitters eventually gave way to a sense of freedom that has empowered Barrera ever since. During his time at Snap, he has had the chance to share his voice in many ways, including through the company’s Big Idea Inclusion Series. Barrera shared that, with a few of his peers, he had the chance to share his experience with learning English as a second language, therefore inspiring others in the process. This experience highlights how he gets to show up to work every day as his authentic self.

“After a couple of days, everyone was cheering me on to express myself in the way that I am.”

Opportunities for Self-Expression

Celebrating everyone's unique story

Chidinma Sylvia Chuku

Senior Law Enforcement Operations Specialist

Chuku joined Snap under the name Sylvia, believing it would be easier for her colleagues to pronounce. But during her first week at the company, she decided she preferred to go by her true name — and her colleagues welcomed the change and fully respected her decision. Since then, Chuku has seen the company celebrate the diversity of its teams, offering them space to share their experiences. She pointed to a film Snap put together called Ode to Noir, which gave Black and Brown employees the opportunity to express their ideas and inspire young professionals from similar backgrounds. Moments like these reinforce how Snap doesn’t just accept its inclusive identity — it cherishes it.

“Everyone just embraced my name. No one called me Sylvia ever again.”

Education Meets Empowerment

Spreading awareness across the world

According to Paul Sabas, a lot of individuals don’t know what LGBTQIA stands for, yet it's an acronym that means more than meets the eye. “Behind those seven letters are hundreds of millions of people like me,” he said. Alongside his peers, Sabas gets to help the company spread awareness about important issues, including the LGBTQIA experience. For instance, he shared, the company put together a 360 experience called Snap Out Loud, which aims to educate and empower Snapchatters about the LGBTQIA community through engaging content. This initiative, which reached 25 million unique users, is a testament to Snap’s focus on uplifting others — and inspiring others to do the same.

“Snap Out Loud helps Snapchatters to better understand the LGBTQIA acronym through augmented reality and our very own Discover show.”
