What just happened to Fearless Fund is deeply concerning for DEIA practitioners and the mission of creating pathways for black people to access capital in their businesses and wealth for their families. This situation highlights the persistent efforts by some individuals—primarily those who are white and privileged—to hinder the progress of Black communities in accessing capital. For those committed to advancing DEIA, it is crucial to reconsider our strategies. Universities are already experiencing varied impacts, with some suffering setbacks while others may quietly celebrate the obstacles to progress. Similarly, several companies, many of which previously engaged in DEIA efforts only under public pressure, are now re-evaluating their investment in initiatives designed to diversify their workforces and leadership. The challenges ahead are significant. It is imperative to develop strategic approaches to continue addressing these critical issues and ensure that the progress toward equity and inclusion is not thwarted.

It's #BlackHistoryMonth and this year's theme is #reclaimingthenarrative In the lead up to this month, I've been reflecting on the role I can play in helping to #reclaimthenarrative through active and intentional allyship 🤝 For me, this means listening, learning, and leveraging my voice to uplift Black voices that have historically been marginalized or misrepresented🗣 . It’s about recognizing that Black history is not separate from broader history, but an integral part of it📚 But reclaiming narratives isn't just about amplifying the voices of the past; it’s about creating a future where Black perspectives are central to how we shape society, policies, and culture 🌍 . Allies can help by advocating for equitable representation, calling out bias when they see it, and using their platforms to elevate the contributions of Black individuals—both past and present 📢 This powerful performance by Dave really encapsulated the importance of this year's theme for me, demonstrating the crucial role that music and the arts can play in #reclamingnarratives 🎶 : https://lnkd.in/e2Tyk27c #AllyshipInAction #ReclaimingNarratives #BlackHistoryMonth2024 #AmplifyBlackVoices
