🎇 Happy Independence Day! As we gather to celebrate our nation’s founding, let’s reflect on a core question: What makes America truly great? 🤔💡 #July4th #IndependenceDay On this day in 1776, our founders embarked on a bold experiment in democracy by declaring all people are created equal. This principle has guided us as a nation through more than two centuries of change. It’s a reminder that our strength comes from our commitment to freedom—for everyone. 🗽📜 Consider the early patriots, who dared to imagine a free America where every voice could be heard. From the abolitionists to the suffragettes to civil rights heroes, every generation has champions who have pushed us closer to fulfilling that original promise of liberty and justice for all. Isn’t that the heart of patriotism? ❤️ This July 4th, let’s honor our nation not just by looking back, but by looking forward. Let’s commit to ensuring that freedom and justice are not just ideals, but realities for all. As we enjoy today’s celebrations, let’s also ask ourselves: How can we contribute to making America live up to its highest ideals? 🌟🚀 #4thOfJuly #AmericanPride #FreedomAndJustice

🌟 Today, we honor Juneteenth, our country’s second Independence Day. On June 19, 1865, Union troops arrived in Galveston Bay, Texas, declaring freedom for more than 250,000 enslaved Americans. This pivotal moment serves as a powerful reminder: none are free until we are all free. ✊🏾 Juneteenth is a critical time for all of us as it serves as a reminder that equality and justice in society isn’t a destination—it’s a journey we must continue to work toward every day. Recognizing Juneteenth and its importance is just the first step in that journey. We must continue to work toward the development of a society for all, and that is a journey that will require the efforts of all of us. At Project Good Apparel, we celebrate Juneteenth by reaffirming our commitment to fight for an inclusive and just future. Take a moment to honor this day by recognizing the ongoing journey toward true freedom and doing our part to make it a reality for everyone. #Juneteenth #SecondIndependenceDay #ProjectGoodApparel #NoneAreFreeUntilAllAreFree #EqualityForAll #DoGood #FreedomJourney #InclusiveFuture

https://lnkd.in/eN734MTM As the year draws to a close, I want to take a moment to pause and reflect on the remarkable strides we have made in 2023. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to each member and our invaluable corporate partners. Your unwavering commitment has been the driving force behind the success of Black-owned businesses across the nation, fostering growth, innovation, and a stronger economic landscape. Yet, our work is far from over. As we stand at the precipice of a pivotal year in American history, it is crucial to address the current challenges to the principles of equality and diversity we hold dear. Recent events remind us of the fragility of the rights that combat discrimination, rights that are now under threat. It is our duty, both individually and as a community, to protect and promote the values of equity and inclusion. Looking ahead to 2024, we see that the fight for affirmative action and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) is ongoing. The symptoms of discrimination and inequality that have persisted for centuries are still present in our society. We must come together, bridging the private and public sectors, major corporations, and minority-owned businesses, to defend and strengthen these initiatives. Remember, "The only way to have a Great America is to have a great Black America, and the only way to have a great Black America is to have strong Black businesses." The strength of our nation is inherently linked to the strength of our diverse communities and businesses. To fortify our Black businesses, we must collectively work to break down barriers that hinder progress. In 2024, USBC is committed to advocating for affirmative action programs and advancing DEI initiatives. We will engage in collaborative efforts with businesses, public institutions, and grassroots organizations to ensure that our progress is not undone. We express our deepest appreciation for your steadfast trust and support. As the Global Voice of Black Business, our mission remains to economically empower and sustain African-American communities through entrepreneurship and business development. Excitingly, the upcoming year will see the launch of the USBC Media Network, encompassing The National Association of Black Owned Broadcasters (NABOB) which is now a division of USBC, USBC Radio Network, and USBC Digital Media. This empowers us to amplify our stories, advocate for our issues, and optimize the Black media ecosystem. Members can also look forward to an engaging USBC National Conference as we celebrate our 15th year anniversary, along with informative events for networking and learning. Remember to renew memberships, get certified with ByBlack, follow us on social media, and engage with your local Black Chamber of Commerce. Additionally, take advantage of the resources offered by the USBC Community Economic Development Corporation to jump-start your business success.

Congratulations Cllr. Lilian Seenoi Barr of the Maasai tribe, Director of North West Migrants Forum and now the first black mayor in Northern Ireland! Mayor Seenoi-Barr comes from a family of Maasai leaders and works on human rights issues in Kenya and Northern Ireland. The most common topic in our “Difficult Conversations” workshop is the role of women as leaders in pastoralist cultures. Women have important, revered roles in these societies, but traditionally do not lead at the community-level. Our participants typically place great value on gender inclusion in leadership, so the pastoralist approach can seem in conflict. Such real or apparent conflicts are nuanced, and it takes time to unpack and understand one another. One of the goals of our Journeys is to provide the time and space required for deeper understanding and learning, which otherwise can be hard for leaders to find. These conversions can be uncomfortable, much like a 6-day trek through the bush, but as our Samburu colleagues say: “suffering will take you far, but comfort will kill you.” We might not go that far, but certainly our fundamental belief is that there is value in physical, social, and intellectual discomfort, which we moderate through a blend of cultural and wilderness immersion. We don’t avoid uncomfortable conversations. Rather, we seek them out in the name of education, self-awareness, and refining the important art of nuanced, respectful disagreement— a skill we see many leaders lacking. We also hope that, over time, such immersive experiences can contribute to positive change on both sides of the exchange, as we conserve the wisest and most beautiful elements of our respective cultures, while finding inspiration from the outside to evolve in other areas. We don’t know Mayor Seenoi-Barr, but would love to hear what she thinks—to what extent her story speaks to this power of cross-cultural experience. Whatever the case, we congratulate her and wish her luck in her new role! #LeadershipDevelopment #Culture #GenderInclusion #Africa
HISTORY MAKER...Our Chief Executive Lilian Seenoi Barr is Northern Ireland's first black mayor. She told the city's Guildhall last night: “My appointment is a sign of that celebration of difference, of a changing Northern Ireland, one where the binaries of the past are breaking down."

Looking at the two primary party campaigns for the President of the United States from a purely communication point of view, the contrast is pretty strong. One focuses on making America great again; I hear the implication that it was great once, is not great now, and can be made great again, by going back to what we had before. The other campaign has its followers shouting, "We are not going back," and I hear that they want to move forward, to make America ever greater than it is now, and to do so in a way that celebrates new Americans, new groups who can express their identities fully in ways that were not as easy in past generations, new small businesses, new technologies, and new ways of powering the world so that we can preserve the Earth we live on for new generations. Of course, this is a simplification on both sides. The list of "new" things is a short list of things that would require trial and error to succeed, and that can succeed if we take risks, follow through, demonstrate grit, and are willing to allow and to learn from failure.
