I create truly innovative, customized training workshops to energize your team and help you work better together so you can get on with your important business of changing the world.
Reflect on where you’ve been and where you want to go, where you’ve risen. Where there are reasons to celebrate and where there are times to pause and deliberate. And where there are times to jump in and go for it. Here’s how. https://lnkd.in/du58Sfwh #LifeLenses
Progressive white women: I urge all of us to read Rozella (Rozie) Kennedy's love letter to us and let her words sink in. https://lnkd.in/giV3UkUt Do we check in with our Black friends when we see "any great thing by any Black women in any context"? Do we check in with our Black friends when they need us "from the disappointment of the SCOTUS ruling obliterating Affirmative Action to the rollback on “DEI” across all areas of society — which has cost many of us our peace, purpose, and indeed employ — to the never-ending grief of Black bodies being treated as disposable, dispensable, non-human things and the constant noise pollution of so many MAGA folks feeling free to say ALL the quiet parts out loud."? Do we check in with our Black friends "for just regular reasons"? Or do we have no Black friends to check in with at all? Take some time to reflect and develop awareness about how our actions and inactions impact others. If you realize you need to work on this area, I highly recommend enrolling in Rozie's course, "Allies, Advocates, Co-Conspirators, Friends, Sisters: A Playbook for Leading, Learning, and Liberation," details here: https://lnkd.in/gsRYisMP #BraveSis #Allies #Advocates #coconspirators #friends #sisters

One of the UNFORTUNATE REALITIES surrounding the BLACK COMMUNITY and POLITICS, is our deadly lack of KNOWLEDGE, WISDOM, and UNDERSTANDING — because of the devastation of “key” civic, social, and religious leaders that were “taken out”, in the middle of the rabid CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT.. From OUR IGNORANCE concerning the origins of the DEMOCRATIC PARTY, to the GENERATIONAL DISPARITIES and lack of the “baton being properly passed” during the last fifty years, we’ve allowed WELFARE, RACE-IDENTITY POLITICS, and PARTISAN PANDERING to suffocate, to devastate, and to infiltrate OUR FAMILIES — AND NOW, we’re PROSPERING-but-SINKING; although “RESTITUTIONAL REPARATIONS” have been going on since the LATE 1960’s… When “BLACK” — Athletes, Entertainers, and Political Figures started falling prey to TOKENISM and INCLUSIVISM, because we were so broken, so bruised, and so bankrupt from racial atttacks, familial losses, and prejudicial policies championed by our own government; as our hearts turned COLD AGAINST GOD.. We’re a VERY RELIGIOUS PEOPLE, but deeply idolatrous and scandalous in many respects…BUT GOD IS NOT THROUGH with us yet!! > End of Excerpt from “Struggling Black Churches”…WS-3 cc: Walter L.

🌷🗳️ Celebrating Diversity in Tradition and Civic Duty 🗳️🌷 This week presents a unique confluence of events that underscore the rich tapestry of our lives: Easter Sunday's reflections, April Fools' Day's laughter, and the pivotal act of voting on Tuesday. Each of these occasions, in its own right, invites us to engage differently with the world around us. Easter Sunday is a time for renewal and gratitude, a moment to connect deeply with our values and communities. It's an opportunity for professionals to reflect on growth, both personally and within our industries. April Fools' Day reminds us of the importance of humor and lightheartedness in maintaining balance, even in the most challenging business environments. A day of jests can offer a fresh perspective and foster creativity. Vote Tuesday emphasizes our civic responsibility and the significant impact our voices can have on the future of our communities and industries. It's a call to action for every professional to participate actively in shaping the policies and leadership that govern our professional landscapes. As we navigate these days, let's embrace the lessons they offer. Let's cultivate growth, welcome new perspectives, and engage responsibly in the processes that shape our collective future. #EasterReflections #AprilFoolsCreativity #VoteResponsibly #ProfessionalGrowth #CivicEngagement
📽 A very moving and important video from The Jubilee Project, Jubilee Media. A must watch as communities navigate and consider how to best support Black youth & #Blackfutures. And the urgency with which this support is needed. 💬 From The Jubilee project on the creation of this piece: "We hope that by sharing some of these candid responses from black parents and young adults, we can inspire understanding and empathy from those who have never needed to have such a talk. We know that a video cannot be the solution or panacea and that there is so much complexity we do not even begin to confront. However, we do believe this is one way to ignite compassion and dialogue." #blackfuturesmonth #blackhistory #blackhistorymonth #blackheritage #blackyouth #racialequity #racialjustice #blacklivesmatter #blackchildren https://lnkd.in/eqcc42eg

Dope Black Dads is a global digital community dedicated to uniting Black fathers through their shared experiences. Starting with 23 Black fathers in London, the community has now grown to 40,000 members, producing an award-winning podcast. A Guardian photo essay showcases the organization, aiming to promote positive images of Black men and deepen the understanding of Black fatherhood. As shared by Jeff, a Black father featured in the essay, "Being a black dad is a gift, not a privilege." Dope Black Dads emphasises values like humility and accountability, highlighting the importance of strong families for true Black excellence to flourish. Combatting negative stereotypes, Dope Black Dads advocates for sharing personal stories, improving media representation, and supporting fatherhood initiatives. Brands are urged to champion Black individuals in areas of exclusion or negative stereotyping, as seen in campaigns like Bumble's highlighting Black women's dating experiences and the theatre production For Black Boys challenging stereotypes of the Black British experience. Together, let's celebrate and support Black fatherhood, fostering a more inclusive and positive narrative. #BlackFatherhood #DopeBlackDads #PositiveRepresentation Signal credit Briony Lewis https://lnkd.in/gTzeMB4U
