Wet Cement

When is the last time you did something that made you a bit nervous? If it’s been too long, think of what could lead to growth for you… Might make you a little queasy… And go for it! That is exactly what our CEO and founder Jennifer (Tishman) Willey will be doing today, as she competes to represent Wet Cement in the top 10 finals in the New York/New Jersey metro pitch competition for women – owned businesses. Thank you WBEC Metro NY FedEx and PepsiCo for all you do to support female entrepreneurs.

Navigating career growth can often feel like an uphill battle, especially for women. 🌟 That's why the Wet Cement team is committed to empowering professionals to build strong support networks that can help overcome challenges. Our Founder and CEO, Jennifer (Tishman) Willey, will be leading a session on "How to Build Your Personal Board of Directors" at this year's Garden State Council SHRM Conference. This session will explore how to strategically surround yourself with sponsors, mentors, and allies who can help you break through the 'broken rung'—or any other barriers along your career path—and accelerate your success, growth, and happiness. This goes beyond traditional mentorship. It's about cultivating a diverse and empowering team of advisors who can guide, challenge, and champion you at every stage of your professional journey. We hope to see all our #HR friends and clients there, so you can learn how to take control of your career and create a powerful support system. Let us know if you plan on attending so we can connect! Let’s ensure we’re all lifting as we climb! ⛰ #HRconference #GSCSHRM2024 #wetcement #gendergap #womenmentors #mentorship #brokenrung #fearlessnessatwork #networking

🗣 Freedom of Speech lives on 🗣 All of us at Wet Cement are happy to see that a federal district court judge permanently blocked the portion of Florida’s Stop the Wrongs to Our Kids and Employees (WOKE) Act that restricted how companies discuss inclusion and diversity, holding that the law was unconstitutional. The court ruled that the law “violates free speech rights under the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution.” This act was an attempt to stop meaningful discussion of the ongoing effects of longstanding systemic discrimination and stop diversity and inclusion initiatives and education. We hope this sends a strong message to companies and organizations around the country that driving awareness and understanding around bias and inclusion IS not only allowed, but important. https://lnkd.in/eHckFZWM

As we commemorate Juneteenth, the day marking the emancipation of enslaved African Americans in 1865, we reflect on its significance and the ongoing journey toward true equality and justice. Understanding our history is crucial to building an inclusive and equitable future. Juneteenth is a reminder of the resilience and contributions of Black communities and a call to action for all of us to foster an environment where everyone can thrive. If you are a part of the Black community, we hope today is filled with peace, hope and inspiration for you. For everyone else, here are actions and resources to support this important work: 1. Educate Yourself and Others:   - Books: “The New Jim Crow" by Michelle Alexander, "How to Be an Antiracist" by Ibram X. Kendi, "Caste" by Isabel Wilkerson.   - Podcasts: "1619" by The New York Times, "Code Switch" by NPR   - Websites: Equal Justice Initiative, NAACP and BLACK LIVES MATTER 2. Support Black-Owned Businesses and Initiatives:   - Utilize platforms like WeBuyBlack, Official Black Wall Street and buy from National Minority Supplier Development Council (NMSDC) businesses: https://lnkd.in/eXuT8-Xw   - Donate to organizations working towards racial justice, such as the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, Color of Change, and the Southern Poverty Law Center. 3. Advocate for Change Within Your Organization: - Establish or support Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) focused on racial equity. You can and should join ERGs that do NOT reflect your identity so you can learn, support and connect with people who don’t look like you.    - Advocate for transparent hiring, promotion, and pay equity practices.  - Encourage your company to conduct regular DEI training 4. Amplify Black Voices:   - Listen actively and give space for Black colleagues to share their experiences and perspectives. - Recognize the efforts of your black colleagues and recommend them to represent your company at conferences, panels, and other visible events.   - Share content from Black creators and thought leaders on your social media platforms. 5. Engage in Community Action:   - Volunteer with organizations that support racial justice and community development and/or provide support: one that we support at Wet Cement is Covenant House International, which helps unhoused youth find a safe place, food, resources and hope. Together, we can make a difference and pave the way for a more inclusive and just society. Happy Juneteenth from all of us at Wet Cement! #Juneteenth #Diversity #Equity #Inclusion #BlackHistory #Freedom #WetCement #Allyship #SupportBlackBusiness
