And somebody said \'yes\' and she said \'nobody in this room reflects my background, my skin color, and where I\'m from and what I want to do\'. And so she kinda took a step back and left and then, it did not come to terms.\"ESPN Writer @NickDePaula reveals Beyoncé walked out of a meeting w/ @Reebok after she highlighted the pitch team\'s lack of diversity & non-existent representation of her background and skin color. ?He also talks about Bey getting offers from Jordan (@Jumpman23) & @UnderArmour. pic.
