Overwrite Inc’s Post

Continuing to spotlight our Black colleagues, we have our Director of Engineering, Dr. Adonis Woods. "In 1926, Carter G. Woodson launched the first known Negro Week. This week celebrated individuals of color and their contributions to society. Since the inauguration, Negro Week has evolved to the month of February which is designated as #BlackHistoryMonth. It is a time to highlight, reflect, and celebrate African Americans individuals that have contributed to important cultural milestones in the United States and globally. It’s important to pause and add new perspectives and resources to the approach of recognizing Black History Month. It’s essential to focus on inclusion and equality to advance proactive measures allowing for planning, integration and recognition. Inclusion and equality provide the framework for being empathetic to the fact that for African American individuals, Black History Month is not just a month-long celebration that ends the last day of February, but an ongoing experience that needs sensitivity and a continued commitment to ensuring awareness. There is a sense of pride for African Americans that come from learning more about Black history and Black culture. There is an even greater sense of achievement knowing that there is an increasing representation in the higher echelons of leadership. Inclusion and equality provide the opportunity to look inward at the organization, assess the challenges and solutions, and then reevaluate whether business practices foster a work environment welcoming to all individuals, regardless of race. Inclusion and equality are two actions that can far pass the designated month of February for African American workers to feel seen and heard. Black History Month provides an opportunity to increase cultural competency and leverage these actions to make lasting difference around the world for all." #inahyattworld
