#TheMorningInclusive As a practitioner who leads Belonging on a global scale, I am always inspired by the stories of those who have fought for justice and equality in the face of oppression and discrimination. One such person is Ida B. Wells, a pioneering journalist, activist, and co-founder of the NAACP. Wells was born into slavery in 1862 and became an outspoken leader of the anti-lynching movement in the 1890s, exposing the horrific violence against Black Americans and challenging the myths that justified it. She also advocated for women’s suffrage, civil rights, and economic empowerment for the Black community. She was fearless, relentless, and influential, using her pen and her voice to challenge the status quo and demand change. As we celebrate Black History Month, I invite you to learn more about Ida B. Wells and her legacy. You can read her autobiography, Crusade for Justice, or watch the Smithsonian Channel documentary, Afrofuturism: The Origin Story, which features her as one of the trailblazers of Black futures. You can also visit the Ida B. Wells-Barnett Museum in her birthplace of Holly Springs, Mississippi, or see her portrait at the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C. Ida B. Wells once said, "The way to right wrongs is to turn the light of truth upon them." Let us honor her memory by continuing to shine that light and work toward a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive society for all. #BlackHistoryMonth #IdaBWells #Belonging = #Inclusion * (#Diversity #Equity) ^ #Accessibility

This Black History Month, we honor the wisdom of powerful Black Women, whose voices have inspired many to embrace their strength and advocate for personal growth. A quote by Alice Walker especially resonates: "No person is your friend who demands your silence or denies your right to grow." Alice Walker's words remind us of the importance of using your voice and the right to personal (and professional) growth. It's a principle that resonates deeply, highlighting the necessity of creating supportive growth-centered environments. As we honor Black History Month and the legacies of people like Alice Walker, let's commit to fostering spaces that celebrate growth and encourage the power of unity in driving positive change. #BlackHistoryMonth #Empowerment #PersonalGrowth #ProfessionalDevelopment #UseYourVoice

Navigating the world as a black man comes with its own set of challenges. From systemic racism to stereotypes, the burden can be heavy. In Corporate America, these challenges often manifest in subtle biases and barriers that affect career progression. Yet, in the face of this adversity, black men continue to excel, bringing unique perspectives and resilience to the table. It's a constant effort to break through these barriers, prove one's worth, and challenge preconceptions. The weight of representation is felt, as the pressure to succeed extends beyond personal achievement to paving the way for others. However, it's crucial to acknowledge these struggles, foster understanding, and work towards a more inclusive and equitable society. Let's celebrate the achievements of black men in America and recognize their invaluable contributions to our workplaces and communities. #BlackMenInAmerica #BreakingBarriers #Resilience #RepresentationMatters
