At the Black Culture Market we support emerging entrepreneurs and new black owned businesses showcase and sell their products, in order to inspire more ownership within the black community and tackle issues such as helping to close the wealth gap.⁠ ⁠ By supporting black businesses you can help work towards change in so many ways. Buying black contributes to economical empowerment within the community, creates opportunities and strengthens local economies. Overall it allows us to address the systemic inequalities, creating inclusivity in the business world. ⁠ ⁠ These are the steps we have to take to inspire others within the community, encouraging more individuals to pursue their entrepreneurial dreams 💪🏿⁠ ⁠ 📸: @asoglobal

February is Black History Month in the United States. An opportunity to observe, remember and celebrate the events, milestones, and achievements in the lives of Black Americans and the nation. This year’s observance has added significance in the U.S. amid the ongoing struggle for social justice and equity. It is imperative that we continue to listen and learn so we can lead better together. The diversity gap still exists in 2023 especially in leadership roles, but what do we gain from diversity? More diversity means more breadth and depth of ideas and experience and research repeatedly shows that businesses that make diversity a priority outperform their peers. The real experience of DEI looks less like buzzwords and more like constant cycles of iteration, action, and assessment to see if our work is having the impact we intend, and then doing it all over again to keep change coming. It's not as sexy as a viral catchphrase, but that's how we get shit done. That's what impact really looks like. This Black History Month make that DEI strategy count, start with your own culture of inclusion, and listen to the voices of your employees. Remember that Black History Month is not a ✅ the box exercise or the one☝🏾time to speak to the Black community, but rather should be the beginning of the journey to amplify, celebrate, honor, connect, and advocate for the Black community.

This #BlackHistoryMonth, we are celebrating and honoring a few of our providers and APPs who are essential to our team. Dr. Myriam Roby, Health Equity Clinical Outcomes Director/Hospital Medicine Provider What makes Black History Month meaningful to you? "Black History Month allows me to reflect on the past and present and undisputedly show gratitude, rejoice, and honor my ancestors and the fruits of their labors. Black history is American history. To seek change brings a sense of responsibility to continue to amplify the core message of transforming our societies to be equitable, non-judgmental, and inclusive of all people everywhere, irrespective of race, gender, or other social constructs. Also, having more representation in healthcare will allow for the Black voice to be heard and seen. Many Black people have contributed to advances in healthcare. The social determinants of health relate to the healthcare system. Black leaders, scientists, healthcare providers, educators, and activists' representation in healthcare is crucial. Their experience and appreciation of Black culture, community, food, and more add to the improved delivery of culturally competent patient-centered care."
