Certainly! Here’s a sample LinkedIn post for sharing an article related to St. Patrick’s Day without including the link: --- 🍀 Happy St. Patrick's Day, LinkedIn Community! 🍀 Today is more than just green attire and festive parades. As we embrace the warmth and camaraderie that comes with St. Patrick's Day, I stumbled across an insightful article that delves into its historical significance and how it has evolved into the global celebration we know and love today. From the story of St. Patrick himself to the way this day fosters cultural pride and connection among the Irish diaspora, the piece offers a refreshing perspective on the importance of preserving heritage while embracing inclusivity. It also highlights how businesses and brands can thoughtfully engage with this holiday, creating authentic experiences that resonate with audiences and honor tradition. As we don our green ribbons and raise our glasses in celebration, let's take a moment to appreciate the rich history and cultural tapestry that make St. Patrick's Day a unique blend of festivity and heritage. Wishing everyone a joyous and safe St. Patrick's Day! May your day be filled with good luck, laughter, and the spirit of togetherness that embodies this special occasion. Sláinte! 🌈🎩 #StPatricksDay #Culture #History #Community #Celebration --- Note: Typically, a LinkedIn post sharing an article would include a link to the article for readers to access. However, since you requested not to include a link, the post is crafted to discuss the content and encourage a conversation without it.

Did you know that August is Black Business Month? While the work I am honored to lead at BeyGOOD Foundation is rooted in creating more opportunities for economic equity and growth, it’s important to shine a light this month on the staggering reality for many Black business owners across the United States. Despite there being over 160,000 Black-onwed business contributing over $180 billion dollars to our economy, annually, according to Crunchbase data (2022), only 2.4% of venture capital dollars went to Black-owned businesses. With a funding gap this wide, it shows us very clearly just how much work is still left to do to create a future that provides equitable access to society's most marginalized and underserved communities. These businesses are the backbones of these communities and when they receive the access, support and visibility they need to attain greater success, they, in turn, have the ability to create opportunities for transformative change across generations. This is why we are so proud to collaborate with the amazing businesses that are part of the Black Parade Route, and I hope you’ll join me in supporting the small Black-owned businesses in your community who are doing their part to their mark on the beautiful tapestry that is the American economy.

Transformative Leader | Strategy & Impact Consultant | Expert in Restorative Justice & Gender Inclusivity
Check out this organization my friend/colleague is supporting-- they are looking to create different outcomes for court-involved youth and formerly incarcerated adults by providing safe, accessible "climbing adventures" in nature. 💯 This is, no doubt, amazing and transformative work. We need more resources (money, minds, and time) invested in these kinds of creative, human-centric solutions. Part of our problem is that we have all been taught that solving social problems is supposed to look a certain way and that the power to create change belongs to certain people. When I was at HLS, we were taught that learning how to use the law was the best way to solve law-related problems (i.e.Mass Incarceration). In the world of "professional social justice" (i.e. nonprofit work), there tends to be a high value given to "proper" problem-solving strategies (i.e. things that require J.D.s, PhD's, and MBAs), and the people who are "qualified" to lead those strategies... As someone with a "fancy" degree, believe me, formal education can be helpful... However, I see many of us over-indexing and over-valuing the things that make us feel smart (ego) while greatly under-valuing and under-utilizing strategies informed by what we experience, observe, and witness in life and the world around us. Things we know in our spirit and body because of what we lived through. To be completely real, my life experiences have contributed far more to my ability to advocate, organize, and problem-solve (for justice and equity) than my formal education has (though the HLS degree is usually the "hook"). What's funny is that my most valuable insights from formal education came from interrogating and resisting what I was being taught... dominant narratives, without historical context, fed to me as divine truth ("Rule of Law"). I learned to pay attention to what questions Professors consistently dismissed/ignored, and I learned to understand what language and ideas were rewarded. It's not what I was taught that benefitted me. It was the process of interrogating what I was being taught and trying to understand WHY. One of the WHYs I arrived at: If we all believe that we need to be a formal power holder (lawyer, judge, doctor, CEO) to create radical change, most of us will also believe that we cannot create radical change in the world. However, the truth is-- each of us is a missing piece of the puzzle. Everyone has the power to contribute to a more just and equitable world... you just gotta find your way, your unique superpower. The Flash doesn't try to be Superman, and Charles Xavier doesn't try to be Wolverine... superheroes move from within. "This is who I am, and so this is how I will help save the world." You have permission. <3 #transformativejustice #communityfirst #sharedhumanity
We need more of this type of work to transform court-involved young adults and formerly incarcerated people's relationship with nature and the outdoors. 1st Outdoor Company is a Black and woman-owned climbing adventure business. They aim to create safe and sustainable climbing experiences, elevating Black athletes, creatives, and entrepreneurs. 1st Outdoors' annual event is the Blk Out Climbing Festival, held every fall in Chattanooga, TN.

Meet Isanna Saxon, Property Management Administrator for NHS Brooklyn CDC, Inc. She has nine+ years of experience in business management and customer service. For the past two and and a half years she's been working in property management managing single family and 2-to-4-unit homes. NHS of Brooklyn has given her the opportunity to merge her love for helping others with her professional aspirations. Isanna strongly believes that a person's growth and accomplishments are rooted in those we help, and that is transcends through individual character and professionalism. Property management is close to Isanna's heart because it assists small homeowners in managing their investments and more importantly preserve generational wealth, especially for people of color. When she looks at Property Management holistically, obtaining my Accredited Residential Manager certification (ARM®) from Institute of Real Estate Management (IREM) felt like the natural next step in my journey. This certification solidifies to her clients that she has the knowledge and professional expertise to manage their investments which builds a trusting relationship. Isanna said, "During the month of February, we celebrate Black History Month, highlighting how far we have progressed as black people. I believe that we should always celebrate ourselves and the journey of our lives. However, to get this opportunity to highlight us as black people is even more special. Our history gets to new ears and for us to remember our forefather and ancestors background as they have laid the foundation for us to be strong, have zeal to overcome the struggles we face daily, love and care for each other, etc. This is why diversity, equity, and inclusion is so important, especially in the workplace. Here at NHS, we provide an environment to make people feel welcome, comfortable, and valued and is refelcted through our diverse workforce that includes different races, ethnicity, and cultures." #diversity #equity #inclusion #DEI #blackhistorymonth #propertymanagement #affordablehousing
