Major League Soccer’s Post

𝗥𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗚𝗲𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗲 𝗙𝗹𝗼𝘆𝗱: 𝗔 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗼 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗔𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁 𝗥𝗮𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗺 The 25th of May, 2020, is a date I will never forget. The tragic death of George Floyd was a powerful reminder of the systemic racism that continues to plague our society. This moment ignited a global movement and underscored the necessity for each of us to stand up and speak out against racism. As we reflect on the impact of George Floyd’s death, it’s crucial to continue the conversation and find actionable ways to combat racism in our communities and workplaces. I encourage everyone to watch this insightful Q&A with Torin Ellis, a tribute to George Floyd, which delves into these very issues. Think about how you can be a part of the change: - 𝗘𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳: Learn about the history and ongoing impact of racism. - 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗸 𝗨𝗽: Use your voice to call out injustice whenever you see it. - 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Implement anti-racist policies in your workplace, support organizations fighting for racial justice, and engage in community initiatives aimed at equity. Let's honor George Floyd’s memory by committing to real, lasting change. Each step we take toward mitigating racism brings us closer to a world where equity is the norm, not the exception. #GeorgeFloyd #Racism #Diversity #Inclusion #Leadership https://lnkd.in/eZVAc_JA

Here’s a short video that shows how our community honored MLK's legacy at the City of Riviera Beach MLK parade!

Home buyers have real dreams and goals for their families, such as building wealth and family legacy, just as we do. I've discovered for many that buying their first home is a part of their long-term familial dream. Now, when they call us, many times home buyers may not initially express these dreams, after all, they are already placing themselves in a vulnerable place by calling a stranger that was found online or by way of referral from their Realtor, to whom they are asked to divulge their most personal and sensitive financial information. On top of that, if they have experienced a life event or multiple life events that have negatively impacted their credit profile, now they have to explain the details so we can ascertain if extenuating circumstances or financial mismanagement was at play. Slowly, this once vibrant dream of home ownership seems to be slipping away. Think for a moment, that's a tough spot to be in, wanting something that now seems impossible to achieve. Not so, if that homebuyer is talking to me. A key to success for me has been my intentional efforts toward developing a relationship first, above the transaction. Doing so raises the value of what I bring to the table in the heart of a homebuyer during the home-buying process - I'm interested in their hobbies, family activities, favorite trips, etc. Here is a key takeaway for you and what I live by: ***"I have one opportunity to control the conversation that home buyers and their real estate professionals will have about me, since they are going to talk about me away, I am the one to give them the words to use through how I engage them from the very first hello!"*** Here is one of my quotes, "Everybody Buys". With 16 years of experience under my belt, so many tools at my disposal, and current homeowners who started out challenged, taking someone "FromDreamToReality" is a way of life for me and my team. Think about it, the difference between someone being able to buy a home today and buying a home at some point in the future, is a plan. The plan that I help develop, therefore I'm confident in saying to every homebuyer and real estate professional I meet and work with: "Everybody Buys", You Got Next, period!!! https://lnkd.in/ejdAW6nq Seek to "Give More In Value, Than You Take In Price", "The Go-Giver", by Bob Burg (Author), John David Mann (Author) #FromDreamToRealityLive #firsttimehomebuyer #americanpacificmortgage #downpaymentassistance #

Today, I want to highlight the importance of being intentional in recognizing and rectifying historical injustices. Major League Baseball (MLB) has taken a significant step by including the statistics of Black players who were previously excluded due to segregation. This long-overdue acknowledgment not only honors the incredible talent of these athletes but also sets a precedent for doing the right thing. One standout example is Josh Gibson, whose remarkable achievements were never fully recognized. In fact, Gibson's stats surpass those of legends like Babe Ruth. By including his and other Black players' records, we are finally giving them the recognition they deserve. Let's continue to strive for fairness and inclusivity in ALL aspects of life! We still have a long way to go!! full video here (snip of video attached) https://lnkd.in/exGjmkQn #MLB #Inclusion #HistoricalJustice #JoshGibson #IntentionalActions #recognition #honor #beintentional

#Today #we #remember #George #Floyd 🖤. 1973-2020 🖤 🖤 🖤. #This #weekend #will #be #four #years #since #George #Floyd #was #killed by former Minneapolis Police officer Derek Chauvin. As we mark the #second #anniversary of the #Black #Equity #Organisation, we reflect on the poignant and powerful phrase : “#I #can’t #breathe.” These words, uttered by #George #Floyd #in #his #final #moments, ignited a global protest and movement which spurred us into action. #BEO was established in the aftermath of his #tragic #death, driven by a collective determination to #combat #systemic #racism, be an #advocate #for #the #rights #and #equity #of #Black #communities, and leverage the law to deliver policy changes that deliver a better lived experience for our people. Over the past two years, our journey has been filled with significant challenges and achievements as we continue to establish BEO for the long term. #As #Reverend #Al #Sharpton #said #at #an #event #in2023 – “We don’t need sprinters in the movement, we need marathon runners. #BEO #are #marathon #runners.” As we continue our journey, we remain humble yet hopeful, reflective yet resolute. Together, we will keep pushing forward, inspired by our ancestors and as I was reminded at the #Black #Britain #Mandate event in Scotland last week, by #Ace #Vision, we are all ancestors driven by the vision of a world where equity and justice prevail. #GeorgeFloyd #BlackLivesMatter #EndRacism #SystemicRacism #JusticeForGeorgeFloyd #SocialJusticeUK #UKActivism

When training new hires in records management, I always emphasize how subtlety important accurate preservation of history is. In this example, if we didn't have on record how diverse the 19th-century West was we'd only have Hollywood depictions to rely on. An unreliable narrator at best!
