**Celebrating Black History Month: Frederick M. Jones – The Cool Innovator** As we honor Black History Month, let's spotlight Frederick M. Jones, a brilliant inventor whose work still impacts us today. In 1949, Jones patented an air conditioning unit, a groundbreaking invention that transformed our world. Why is this significant in DEI? Jones' invention goes beyond comfort; it's about creating inclusive and equitable environments. Air conditioning is not a luxury but a necessity that enables productivity in hot climates, preserves medicines and food, and provides a safe and comfortable atmosphere in homes and workplaces. By recognizing Jones, we acknowledge the diverse contributions that shape our everyday lives. His legacy is a reminder of the importance of fostering an inclusive environment where every innovation, regardless of its origin, is valued for its impact on society. Let's continue making room at the table for diverse voices and ideas, as each one has the potential to change the world for the better. #BlackHistoryMonth #DEI #Innovation #FrederickMJones #roiofdei

Let's talk about International Women's Day and #allyship. So many talk the talk but very few walk the walk when it comes to putting their money where their mouth is. Ronika Lewis is the real deal. She's all of that. She's sponsoring a few passes to NVIDIA GTC, THE tech conference of the year. I mean, who does that? Who the hell does that? Not the tech billionaires, not the so-called female 'angel' investors. Neither my boy Satya, not my man Sundar, much less Zuck is doing that. She's doing it. So before you dare call yourself an ally, ask yourself: What have I done to prove my allyship? Eligibility and instructions are simple:  If you are an UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG), aka: - a woman and - an underrepresented person and - are in school (or self taught), or are a recent graduate that's unemployed or underemployed, you qualify. DM her to apply. And remember, responsible #ai = inclusive #ai. #internationalwomensday2024 #responsibleai #nvidiagtc #tech #responsibletech #allyship.

Day #2 Black History Month Spotlight: Edmond Berger – Igniting Innovation Did you start your car today? Ride a train? Catch a bus? In our continued celebration of Black History Month, let's shine a light on Edmond Berger, an often-overlooked inventor who played a crucial role in the automotive industry. Berger is credited with inventing the spark plug in the early 19th century, a vital component that powers internal combustion engines. Why does this matter in the context of DEI? Berger's invention was a cornerstone in the development of the automobile industry, which has since become a global phenomenon. It's a testament to how diverse minds contribute significantly to advancements that reshape the world. The spark plug, a small yet critical component, shows that every contribution, no matter the size, has the power to ignite substantial change. By celebrating Berger and his invention, we honor the diverse ingenuity that drives progress. His story reminds us of the importance of recognizing and valuing every contribution in our journey towards a more inclusive and equitable world.

Why Investing in Black Voices Matters Our CEO, Sharla-Jaye Duncan, recently shared some powerful thoughts on the importance of valuing Black speakers and professionals—especially during Black History Month. Too often, multi-million-pound corporates ask Black entrepreneurs and professionals to contribute their time for free, while claiming to "invest" in the Black community. But real investment means more than just appearances. If companies are serious about improving Black representation, especially in leadership, they need to put their money where their mouth is. We stand by SJ's belief that time and expertise are invaluable, and investing in Black talent is key to driving real change. At Journi, we’re all about creating genuine opportunities for Black professionals. If you're a Black professional looking for support and growth in your career, join us today.

If a corporate asks you to speak for free for Black History Month. Don’t do it. If they’re ‘investing’ in the Black Community they should invest in the Black Speakers that make their events possible. Asking entrepreneurs, like me, to give my time for free… so that a multi-million pound corporate can demonstrate that they’re ‘invested’ in this area is just promoting a lie. I don’t need any more sandwiches or pats on my back for my achievements, thanks. I need to see corporates genuinely improving their black representation, especially in their leadership teams. I do offer my time to some companies for free though. I support small, socially impactful companies that support the black community like BYP Network recently. I’d do the same for Foundervine, Daring Capital, Team Up Hub and any other org that has social impact as it’s ‘why’. But corporates don’t exist to do this, they exist primarily to provide a return to their shareholders. So if they’re serious about also investing in black representation they should… invest. --- Join Journi if you're a black professional looking for support.
