CLAYTON — A St. Louis County woman has sued a Chesterfield health clinic claiming she was denied a job there last year when the company told her via email it doesn’t hire people with “ghetto” names.

Dorneshia Zachery, 23, a black woman from unincorporated St. Louis County near Florissant, sued Mantality Health in Chesterfield last week, claiming employment discrimination. Her lawsuit says she applied to Mantality, a clinic that treats men with low testosterone, last July and received an email Aug. 13 saying, “Thank you for your interest in careers at Mantality Health. Unfortunately we do not consider candidates that have suggestive ‘ghetto’ names. We wish the best in your career search,” the email said.

Zachery could not be reached for comment but she posted a screenshot of the email she received to her Facebook page last year. Her lawsuit seeks at least $100,000 in damages.
