When you are informed and take the time to educate yourself about history, you can empathize, and then you can create change. #education #inclusion #invisable #jobcontracts #independantcontractors

"Understanding history is one of many ways to break the cycle. Lift up/amplify Black voices. Support Black-owned businesses. Reach back. Mentor." - Chadwick Boseman It’s Juneteenth and at PeerForward we’re reflecting on our collective history. We are committed to our fight for education equity because we know it’s one of many ways to break the cycle. Today, we rest so tomorrow we can continue to move forward with hope and strength. #juneteenth #celebratejuneteenth #freedomday #celebrate #reflect #justice #educationalfreedom

As we gear up for #BlackHistoryMonth, it's important that we are intentional when choosing #childrensbooks for our scholars. Here are 3 ways you can ensure that the #kidlit you select is #culturallyresponsible: 1. Make sure it provides ACCURATE and Diverse representation of #BlackPeople and #BlackCulture. 2. Make sure it promotes a sense of belonging and #culturalpride for #BlackChildren 3. Make sure it educates all children about the rich history and contributions of Black people. Hope these tips help! #teachertips

As we commemorate Juneteenth, I want to talk a bit about its significance and why it remains an important observance in the Black community. Juneteenth, celebrated on June 19th, marks the day in 1865 when the last enslaved African Americans in Galveston Bay, Texas, were informed of their freedom, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed. This video clip from the TV sitcom Black-ish, helped educate a global audience on the importance of Juneteenth. The show masterfully used humor to deliver key lessons, prompting viewers to reflect on the historical and cultural significance of Juneteenth. It’s pure satire when the White character at the end of the clip awkwardly says, “That was not uncomfortable at all.” Let’s face it, talking about Black history is uncomfortable whether we go back decades or are talking about it now. Although we have made strides with Juneteenth which represents not just the end of slavery, but a milestone in our nation's pursuit of freedom and human rights, we still have a long way to go. To be frank, we must learn from our history to foster a more inclusive and equitable future. And that’s what I am aiming to do at Pure Storage. What are you doing in your workplaces to build a more inclusive and equitable future for the Black community? Share below and let’s learn from each other in the comments. Let’s GO! #Juneteenth #equality #DEI

March is Black History Month. The National Museum of African American History & Culture is "highlighting the 'art of resistance' and the artists who used their crafts to uplift the race, speak truth to power and inspire a nation." Tonya Lovelace speaks truth to power. “Lovelace says that domestic violence programs need to consider that they may be complicit in systemic racism because their services are designed to only adequately serve limited populations of people.” You have to trust helpers in order to reach out for help. It's important to have your needs seen by service providers. You have to be a helper who sees who people are and the issues they are faced with in order to truly assist. Systemic racism isn't always clear to those who aren't affected by it. It silences and reduces options for anyone experiencing it because they can't trust how helpers will respond. I am educating myself to be the best ally I can be as a white woman. Take up this challenge! #coerciverelationships #jennifercparker #BlackHistoryMonth #systemicracism #RecoveryForAll #recoveryispossible

#BlackHistoryMonth As a Black Mother raising Black children, my topmost important prayer is for their safety, resilience, and the strength to navigate a world that may not always value or protect them as it should. Join myself and eleven other Black Mothers as we share our deepest fears in raising our young, impressionable Black children, and how we have found solace and strength in The Secret Prayer Of A Righteous Black Woman: The Power of a Mother’s Prayer. Learn how to identify and eliminate fear and negative thinking through faith, so you can empower yourself and your children to rise above adversity. As a Black Mother, you may find a menacing giant is seeking to devour you from within. Fear is a stronghold that limits your ability to fully function in your role as a parent. I dare you to read this book and be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind.
