E.L.F. BEAUTY is genuinely changing the Board game. Their new campaign highlights how many publicly traded companies LACK women and diversity on their Board of Directors. The stats are startling: • Women make up only 27% of US corporate boards • The average US corporate board is 88% white • There are 2x more men named Dick than Hispanic women. • Black women and Asian women barely outnumber men named Dick. • There are 19x more men named Dick than women of Middle Eastern descent. • There are only 3 Native American women serving on these boards. E.L.F.'s "So Many Dicks" campaign is proving that diverse Boards create profitability for everyone. https://lnkd.in/eiYupqb3

Rosenberg & Estis, P.C. is thrilled to see Member, Arielle Frost featured in this month’s New York Real Estate Journal 2024 Women in CRE Spotlight! Choosing the firm isn’t always easy and finding the right fit is imperative. We are delighted that Arielle chose R&E to call her home. What are the most important factors young women should consider when choosing a firm to build their career with? “Look at whether women hold leadership positions within the firm, whether the firm is focusing on DEI initiatives, and whether there is transparency regarding the criteria to advance through the ranks. Consider whether the firm is willing to clearly set forth and commit to how you will be compensated. Ask to speak to other women at the firm during the hiring process and ask the tough questions that you may be nervous about asking. Then analyze everything you have learned about the firm and ask yourself if you believe you will be valued, respected and fairly compensated at the firm.”

The difference between success and the struggle is access to information and the knowledge required to know what to do with that information. This includes knowing how to manage your business, knowing what is required to become banakable, and knowing how to compete for your customers. Connect your network with those willing and able to smoothe the way so that you can compete and win.
The National Coalition for 100 Black Women - Baltimore Metropolitan Chapter, in collaboration with Christopher R. Lundy, Director of the Mayor's Office of Minority and Women Owned Businesses, is hosting a Business Certification Process Workshop. This workshop offers a vital opportunity for your company to engage in business with Baltimore City Government upon certification. Limited space available, so secure your spot by registering early.

We had the incredible opportunity to attend a thought-provoking “Phenomenal Women Panel” discussion on Black Women in Real Estate held at the Cushman & Wakefield office London. As non-technical women in the industry this event was an eye-opener, highlighting the unique experiences, challenges and triumphs of all types of Black women in a predominantly male-dominated sector. Key takeaways from the event: 🔴 Representation Matters: Hearing from successful Black women in construction was truly inspiring. Their stories underscore the importance of true diversity and inclusion in the industry. 🔴 Breaking Barriers: The panellists shared their experiences of overcoming significant obstacles, from gender bias to racial discrimination, and their journeys are a testament to resilience and determination, whilst also highlighting the importance of retention, keeping women that look like us in the industry in hopes that it inspires the next generation of black women. 🔴 Mentorship and Support: A recurring theme was the crucial role of mentorship and support networks. Having a strong community and allies can make all the difference in navigating and succeeding in the industry. They gave specific advice on how to seek out mentorship and how it can be used to propel your career. Innovation and Leadership: These women are not just "minorities" participating in the industry; they are leaders and innovators, driving change and paving the way for future generations. Thank you to the organizers BWRE (Black Women Real) and all the amazing panellists for such an enlightening discussion Nannette Sakyi MRICS, Carolina Lopato R, Sheryl Owen, Cheryl Effiom and Beryl Mutandiro. #WomenInConstruction #DiversityAndInclusion #BlackWomenLead #ConstructionIndustry #BreakingBarriers #MentorshipMatters

I talk about these issues all the time; working in the boardroom and supporting boards, I am deeply familiar with the issues of recruiting diverse talent to boards. And yet still, to see the numbers in print feels jarring. Boards still have a long way to go. It is worth noting the best-performing companies have the most diverse boards. I am delighted to work alongside organizations like Athena Alliance, 50/50 Women on Boards, Women Corporate Directors, Latino Corporate Directors Association (LCDA), Ascend Pinnacle, The Executive Leadership Council (ELC), Association of LGBTQ+ Corporate Directors, and others to continue to create change across the industry. And a big shout-out to Heather Marie Spilsbury leading the research on such an important issue. From Fortune: "Across the Russell 3000, 41% of companies still have boards with two or fewer women. And some of those businesses are clearly focused on other pressures; companies with less diverse boards were more likely to exit the Russell 3000 because of sales, mergers, or bankruptcies, the report found. The financial services sector was the least diverse at the board level."
Women's board of director appointments hit 7-year low

Wholesale Marketing Manager : Improving lives by providing clarity around cannabis and confidence around consumption
This panel was AMAZING. Some big pieces I took out of this: 1. 60% of DEI roles are held by white women - diversity does not end at gender. Hiring on white women for your corporate team does not make your team diverse. bias is just as much about who you help as it is who you hurt. 2. CSR’s main KPI’s should be the efficacy with which their campaigns address real problems; not the marketability of those actions. Asya Hill was sending absolute HEAT on this subject 👏🏻🙌🏻 3. WHY COLUMBUS-ING: black and brown folks built this industry from pre prohibition to our current day. White people with capitol swept in to “discover and perfect” this “brand new” industrial opportunity and are severely limiting their feedback from POC by not including them in their corporate structures. The entire panel was filled with actionable items for attendees and valuable insight at how you can not only make your company more equitable for people of color- but how to make your company a safe place for them to express their opinions in the first place. Thought provoking af y’all 💓 huge thank you to Black CannaBusiness expo for putting on these valuable panels!
📢 Delve into the industry's growth with Illinois Women in Cannabis and the sidelining of key communities. Understand the compounded challenges Black women face in this space. The panelist will explore how the compromising of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives by white-dominated leadership impacts the industry, with a particular focus on the unique experiences of Black women.
