Welcome to My
FABULOUS Community!
Aubrei Hayes is a force in modern marketing, known as Thee Diversity Diva for turning courageous conversations into measurable culture change. Raised in South Bend, Indiana, she pairs eloquence with execution as Associate Director of Talent Engagement and Inclusion at Digitas, where she equips teams to build equitable workplaces and craft campaigns that reflect the world they serve.
Aubrei chose marketing to shift the stories brands tell. After seeing who was too often edited out of ads, she set out to prove that inclusive environments unlock better ideas and stronger business outcomes. That conviction led her to design a Master of Public Affairs in Diversity Management Analysis at Indiana University, completed in May 2021. The program she helped shape was later adopted as a model within the nation’s top-ranked public affairs school. She extends her reach through her Thee Diversity Diva platform and her YouTube channel, Curve Logic, where she translates body positivity, self-love, and identity into practical education for rising talent and brand leaders.
Her impact is recognized globally. In 2024, Aubrei was selected by the Cannes Can Diversity Collective, one of only 30 fellows chosen from more than 600 applicants worldwide, to attend Cannes Lions. She used the experience to bring Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (JEDI) practices from mainstage ideas to team-level execution back at work. Now she continues the movement by supporting as a Co-Program Director for the next generation of CC:DC Ambassadors!
Aubrei creates magic by blending strategy, empathy, and unapologetic joy. She designs learning that moves systems, mentors early-career professionals, and champions intersectionality and accessibility so every identity is seen in the work. She is not waiting for the industry to change; she is changing it. 💫
