These actions are not surprising! When we live in a region that is extremely segregated and undergoing demographic and political change with very little action being taken by the XI Association and some school districts to provide DEI and cultural proficiency training; I can guarantee these type of incidents will increase! https://lnkd.in/edEEcRnR

Yolande Cornelia Nikki Giovanni- We love you and honor you for all you brought to us! Your mischievous smile hid an intellect, a talent, a commitment to your people and ending racism and oppression, and a capacity for love that we experienced in your presence, your conversations, and written word! Thank you! Take Flight!

In the 10th most segregated region in the nation-Long Island-Nassau County releases a disparity study (a year later) finding that there is both a racial and gender disparity when it comes to business owners who win county contracts. While Nassau County says it has taken steps, they simply aren't enough! An electronic certification process and more outreach won't cut it if your processes are still barriers to access. Additional steps needed include: Nassau County should create a taskforce to actually review your processes, provide actual support to these small businesses who may not have the resources to make it through an arduous process, and ask yourself why is the process arduous at all? When you know better! You must do better! https://lnkd.in/eQ8W_QbP
