Black History Month is a time to spotlight and celebrate the honorable contributions, achievements, and culture of Black Americans and their communities. However, these efforts should be applied year-round. Fortunately, at DeVry, we can lean into our business resource groups, including the Association of Black Colleagues (ABC), to enable continuous learning by going deeper into discussions and making meaningful connections. From my perspective, as a collective – organizations, businesses, and society as a whole – can acknowledge and support the significance of Black History beyond the month of February. #BlackHistoryMonth Learn more here: https://devry.ly/3T3PCcn

In the words of Dr. Robert Livingston: "Black history is not just for Black people. Black history IS American history." Black History Month celebrates more than the history of the heritage and cultural contributions to our country. We also celebrate history in the making and there are some truly incredible things happening in the community that will undoubtedly shape the future. Today I would like to shine a spotlight on some of my friends who are making a huge impact and inspiring future generations of leaders across the country: Have you seen what entrepreneurs like Stanley Rameau and Derek E. Canton are up to in the financial community? How about the philanthropy of Calvin M., David Z. Everett, and The Equitas Group? Emerson Foster and Paul Francisco (He, Him, His) are literally bringing thousands of Black professionals together each year to network and uplift one another via the Men's and Women's Dinner Group! Thank you to each of you for breaking barriers, paving the way, and educating others through your work. Black history is more than slavery, civil rights, and cultural richness. It is about resilience, innovation, and creating an impact on the entire world.

Black history is being made year-round, but I am grateful to have a month to reflect on the many ways African Americans have contributed to culture and society. From trailblazers who opened new doors, to the new generation currently shaping our future, Black history is vibrant, resilient, and dynamic. As a champion of diversity, equity, and inclusion, I encourage everyone to use this month to amplify Black voices, explore the rich history, and examine what you can do in your daily lives to advance social justice. https://lnkd.in/ezjC_-TU
