This month, we asked our employees to share what Black History Month means to them. Today, Josh Seda talks about strength, resilience, and how your courage can open doors for the next generation. "Black History Month, to me, is all about those prolific moments of making sure that we are creating space, not for today, but for tomorrow." https://hubs.ly/Q02jXVps0

Black History Month, observed annually in February, is a time to commemorate and celebrate the rich and diverse history, achievements, and contributions of African Americans to the United States and the world. This month-long observance was established to shed light on the often-overlooked historical narratives and cultural influences that have shaped our society. It serves as a reminder that the legacy of African Americans is an integral part of the broader American narrative. It encourages dialogue, understanding, and appreciation for the countless contributions made by individuals who have overcome adversity and adversity to shape the world we live in today. As we celebrate Black History Month, we not only honor the past but also commit ourselves to building a more inclusive and equitable future for all. #BlackHistoryMonth #BHM #CelebrateBlackHistory #BlackExcellence #HonoringOurLegacy #AfricanAmericanHistory #HistoryMakers #CivilRights #BlackHistoryFacts #ResilienceAndStrength

5 Ways Entrepreneur-Led Organizations Can Honor Black History Month: Foster a culture of inclusivity and recognition this February and through the rest of the year. https://lnkd.in/gPJ53n6Q

As we all celebrate Black History Month, we encourage all to reflect on the true meaning of the word “history” and what this month symbolizes. When we study history, we learn how we got where we are and why we live the way we do. It's the study of us—of humans and our place in an ever-changing world. Without it, we wouldn't understand all of our triumphs and failures and we would continually repeat patterns without building forward to something better. To say we celebrate diversity is one step. But at Solera we encourage all to take a step further and to seek to understand events that seem like dates on a page yet have been turning points in the story of our societies. Reflect on the past, amplify the present, and pave the way for a more inclusive future. #historymattersforourfuture #compassion #blackhistorymonth2024 #history #diversityandinclusion Adam Kaplan Anna Wynn Phillip Lord Brittany (Boxler) Patrick Stacy Updegrove Lewana Dupree, SHRM-CP Brian Jennings Michael Eichhorn William Blouin
