Yesterday, Host Healthcare's Black Excellence Team hosted a Virtual Paint & Sip with Martin Nance, the Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer at the Minnesota Vikings, to celebrate Juneteenth. He spoke on some of his favorite Black leaders, the importance of entering spaces Black communities have not been before, gave advice on “being where your feet are” and taking in the current moment, and the impact of Juneteenth and what it means to be free. Thank you, Martin, for a great event and for continuing to educate our team on the importance and impact of #Juneteenth.

Building Equity and Collaboration into Nonprofit Management Consulting | Growing community-centered organizations
As we continue to reflect on Black History Month, one idea that keeps coming up for me is the importance of community and networks. In this work, we thrive when we have a robust, regenerative, and supportive network. As black consultants and nonprofit leaders, it can be challenging to navigate our work and our professional development without pre-built professional networks that some of our colleagues seem to have. Coming from a farming family, my personal network is supportive and regenerative in many ways. That being said, when I go home, we don't discuss the modern philanthropic sector and how it can support black communities better. We laugh, reminisce, and we take care of each as humans. That is 100% important and it fills my cup in a way many other interactions do not. That's why I've intentionally built my "professional" network to serve as a complement to the support network I do have. I seek ways to build community wherever I go because I know that's how we change the world - as a powerful, interconnected network of changemakers. As we celebrate Black History Month, I would love to know about the black leaders, scholars, and professionals that you follow. Who has become an intentional part of your community and practice? Let's continue to grow this world where we are all connected in community and practice. #BlackHistoryMonth #CommunityBuilding #ProfessionalNetworks #Changemakers

Juneteenth is quickly approaching, and as you reflect on the meaning of the holiday, we highly encourage you to read this resource lovingly and intentionally created by Crystal Whiteaker. This holiday (as pointed out below) is not about capitalizing on a moment, it's a chance to learn, reflect, grow, and do better. Thank you to Crystal and to everyone we learn from to do better. For more of Crystal and her work, check out her site here: https://lnkd.in/gD-cnE4U #cheerstochange #learn #grow #change #insurance #insuranceindustry
In 2021, Juneteenth became a national holiday. It’s a Freedom Day celebration for Black Americans, however many brands and organizations have moved to capitalize on the holiday. It’s been encouraging to hear from our clients who are asking how to acknowledge and celebrate Juneteenth in non-performative ways. Crystal Whiteaker (inclusive branding and leadership development consultant) is one of the amazing visionaries we connected with through Insure Equality. She has generously shared these insights for us to pass on to you. https://buff.ly/4aTgnG3

We invited Joseph Cephas from Novità Communications to shared some thoughts and his own experience as a Black leader in the Design industry. ⚪ How do you see the influence of Black creatives in shaping the future of the built environment? The influence of Black creatives is omnipresent. There are so many direct lines from our ancestors to how spaces are created today. Whether it is through cultural influences or direct building, the impact of Black people on the built environment is going to continue to grow moving into the future. It is our responsibility to ensure that the Black leaders that are building our future are recognized for their contributions and not overlooked like they’ve been in the past. ⚪ What is an urgent change in the architecture and design professions that would benefit Black creatives? More opportunities. During Black History Month there is often a common theme of those we recognize - they are pioneers. This extends beyond getting more Black people into the architecture and design field, it includes Black people advancing to leadership positions within a firm. Black people often have to blaze their own trail through treacherous terrain. I’m looking forward to the day when Black creatives don’t have to carry the burden of being a pioneer and can just focus on perfecting their craft.

🌟 Celebrating Black History Month! 🌟 At CE International, we honor the legacy and contributions of Black individuals worldwide - in the past, present, and future. This #BlackHistoryMonth, we're reminded of the profound and important impact Black leaders, thinkers, and educators have had and continue to have on shaping the world, especially in the area of #education. The work of earlier Black trailblazers such as Mary McLeod Bethune and Fanny Jackson Coppin created educational opportunities for Black children in the U.S. Later, brave Black children such as Ruby Bridges walked into newly desegregated schools to pursue the education they deserved. Worldwide, countless Black leaders have worked to build quality educational opportunities for children and youth in their communities, and today, Black education leaders globally advocate, teach, and innovate to build better #education systems, resources, and opportunities for all. As we commemorate Black History Month, we celebrate these achievements and recommit ourselves to creating inclusive educational environments worldwide so that all children can thrive. Image description: A blue circle with white text that says "Black History Month" and an icon of two hands holding up a person reading a book. Around the circle are decorative orange and yellow dots and color splashes of orange, yellow, and green.
