My story is about how a dream job working for the most beloved brand PBS – one that formed my childhood and taught me English – became a nightmare. After a 30-year corporate career, I looked forward to my career culminating with an educational institution like PBS that touts diversity and inclusion. Instead, Vegas PBS whose broadcast license is owned by the Clark County School District, has been the most racist and discriminatory environment I’ve ever experienced.

PBS has been riding on the coattails of its squeaky clean brand image for a long time. Meanwhile, we are hearing more and more stories of racism, discrimination, and financial improprieties taking place at local PBS stations, including Vegas PBS, because it’s been a good place to stay under the radar.  There is a mentality of “it couldn’t happen here,” but it has and it did.
