As organizations strive towards diversity and inclusion, it's important to acknowledge the unique challenges faced by Black women in the workplace. The intersectionality of race and gender creates a complex dynamic that must be addressed. The reality is that there are very few Black women in executive positions or positions of power, and this is not a coincidence. While the concept of the glass ceiling is well-known, for Black women it can feel more like concrete. The inability to ascend into certain positions within Corporate is a harsh reality that must be acknowledged and addressed. It's time for organizations to actively work towards breaking down these barriers and creating equal opportunities for all employees, regardless of their race or gender. Allies: "What specific actions can you take within your own roles to support Black women in your organization to reach their leadership potential?" Women of Colour: "What specific support do you need from your organization to help you thrive and advance in your career?" #allyship #womenofcolor #dei #diversityequityinclusion #womenempowerment #glasscliff

Hey Garry Johnson III, right on time. I'm not a frequent coffee drinker but have been thinking of getting a bit into it and was looking for a Black-owned brand to support so...kismet. I just bought that 1871 😋 ☕️ Coffee Description: "HBCU Fun Fact: Established in 1871, this historic institution is renowned for its legacy as the first land-grant historically Black university. With a steadfast commitment to academic excellence, social progress, and leadership development, the university empowers students to effect lasting change in their communities and beyond. Coffee Description: A very complex medium-dark roast of bright full flavor African grown coffees. Enjoy hints of toffee, caramel, chocolate, raisins, green apples, red fruits and even hints of cherries and black currant with a soft floral finish. Coffee cherries are often processed by hand at the home of the farmers after being hand picked. Quality standards are high and farmers adhere to these strict standards with environmentally friendly processing, washing the beans and leaving in the sun to dry, then hand sorting and packaging." Read full description and more about BVU here: https://lnkd.in/gVr6qHd8 Question for devoted java drinkers: Is it true if you brew whole beans instead of ground coffee ☕️, you get a richer taste? 🤔 What's your favorite way to consume coffee? Also support this brotha please.

Extract: “Black Women cannot fully heal without being fully seen. We need culturally appropriate resources and tools that address the effects of racial trauma on mental, emotional, and physical health.” Gathering responses from 1,005 Black Women in the United States, the report aims to fill a gap in survey data on Black Women's experience with stress in the context of their intersectional identities. The findings reveal that racial trauma, stereotypes, and discrimination are key contributors to Black Women's stress within the workplace and their personal lives… "As Black Women, we're surrounded with messages telling us we're strong and resilient enough to manage stress, but this survey proves that we are negatively impacted by a lack of necessary support," said Katara McCarty, founder of EXHALE. "Black Women cannot fully heal without being fully seen. We need culturally appropriate resources and tools that address the effects of racial trauma on mental, emotional, and physical health.” Conclusions from the report include insights into the importance of prioritizing Black Women's mental health and well-being, among other findings, including: Unique stressors for Black Women, including the "strong Black Women" trope, historical trauma facing Black people, and microaggressions. The need for culturally appropriate resources confronting Black Women's specific pressures. The impact of stress on Black Women's physical health. Opportunities for communities to create safe spaces for Black Women. Specific resources employers can implement to help Black female employees feel supported.

Attending AFROTECH this year was an unforgettable experience! While my primary field is HR and not tech, I’ve dived into the world of AI over the past few years, exploring how it can be used for good—and this conference showed me how interconnected these fields truly are. The sessions were so thoughtfully designed, inspiring learning and collaboration at every turn. It was a true honor to join the panel (thank you, Ashlee Wakefield and my other panelist Precious Azuree🙌), share insights, and connect with some of the brightest minds in the industry. I walked away with not only actionable takeaways but also authentic connections that I’m excited to grow. To the students and early-career professionals reading this: 💡 Follow up with the connections you make—it’s vital to nurture those relationships. 💡 Networking is essential! As I shared in my discussion, if you’re in HR and looking to expand your network, #TheBlackInHR is a fantastic resource. 💡 If you’re seeking opportunities to gain experience because employers say you don’t have it yet, let’s change that narrative! Reach out to me or explore intern/co-op opportunities with the Boundless Freedom Project. Huge thanks to #AfroTech for creating such a powerful and inclusive space. Here’s to building bridges across industries and shaping the future together! #AfroTech2024 #NetworkingMatters #HRInnovation #DiversityInTech #AIForGood #BlackInHR #ProfessionalDevelopment #BoundlessFreedomProject #InclusionAndInnovation #CareerGrowth #FutureOfWork
