“It’s not just a product, it’s part of our lives.” The #ModernArtisan Georgia Wintle, who’s joined us for the third edition of our flagship talent programme with The King's Foundation, believes in the power of storytelling through what we wear.   Georgia is passionate about getting people to connect with their clothes by finding ways to add sentimental value to her designs, which she’ll handcraft alongside five other artisans at Dumfries House in Scotland, headquarters of The King’s Foundation.   Learn more our artisans’ transformative learning journey: https://lnkd.in/erctaiJP

Come on over and help us celebrate! 🎉 TUESDAY 26.09.2023, Ltd Westland Square, Leeds LS11 5SS

Myles Jack and his mom, LaSonjia, are the first Black majority owners of an ECHL team, the Allen Americans. This move, approved by the ECHL's Board of Governors, marks a significant milestone in the sports world. They're committed to bringing first-class, family-friendly entertainment to the community.

From Made by History: Black cowboys made up as much as a quarter of working ranch hands during late 19th century. That legacy has been obscured.

ABC Central Florida was the 27th ABC chapter to begin in 1973 and it's time to celebrate this year's major milestone!! 🍾🥂 It has taken the dedication and passion of members like you to accomplish, and we can't celebrate without you and your team! Don't miss special guest Milton Graugnard, ABC National Chair, and other surprise guests ✨ Make sure you secure your seats today! https://lnkd.in/gfrsb_EG

Black Americans continue to break significant barriers in our society but still endure systemic obstacles that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and other leaders involved in the Civil Rights Movement were devoted to fighting against. Despite these hindrances, Black Americans persevere, remain steadfast and work to shape the future of this country. Yet, there remains a struggle for relevance, a sense of belonging and ownership of this nation. I stood before a crowd at the 60th Anniversary of the #MarchOnWashington for Jobs and Freedom to address the varied courses of action we can take to achieve equality. It goes beyond advocating for diversity, equity and inclusion. We must broaden our focus to include economic justice – and we can do this by providing opportunities for prosperity and investing in the infinite potential of future generations. We must build the economic infrastructure needed to bridge the #racialwealthgap. And it is up to us to invest in #education, digital #technology and the talent pipeline to help close opportunity gaps that affect Black Americans, including the #generationalwealthgap. Watch my full remarks from that day. https://bit.ly/48cSp8r

From Street Hawking To Recognition!! A man’s gift makes room for him. It will bring him before kings. For those of us who have been following this young man’s story. It all began in a motor park. See where it is already taking him. What exactly are you good at? How much effort are you putting to improve at it? How consistent are you? How visible are you? Most times all we know is the small beginning. The later is always a bundle of limitless possibilities. Congratulations to him!!!
