This is not a training to address stereotypes, bias and discrimination for people that have black colored hair. 🤦🏽♀️ The term “black hair” does not refer simply to hair color. It relates to styles, textures and/or the natural methods of hair care for people of African American, Caribbean or “Black” decent. In my experience a black person with curls, coils or locs (not dreads), braids or an Afro is perceived differently (even subconsciously) in most corporate environments than other races wearing their natural textures. #deileaders #deib #inclusiveleadership

As I reflect on what individual and institutional donors in CA need to do to commemorate Juneteenth in a real way-sure, give to black-led and black-serving groups. And choose both the best as well as some mediocre ones, because let’s face it, your grantee portfolio isn’t all ‘the best.’ Hire black folk for leadership positions, and don’t set them up to fail. But also recognize that if most of the folk you complain about burning bridges are black women, thinking you are critiquing them, you may actually be unknowingly talking about the bridges you stand on that black folk, especially black women, have to burn in order to succeed. Sometimes a burning bridge to you actually looks like this. And yes, that’s a real story spurred by what I’ve heard from many non-black Bay Area progressives about too many black women in movement politics. Another thing-if your portfolio has lots of groups talking about protecting black folk who don’t have no black folk….do something about that.

As we mark the last day of Black History Month, we are celebrating the vital role that racially minoritised experts and by-and-for organisations have played for years in driving forward our national systems change work to increase the safety of Black and other racially minoritised victim-survivors. Black women and women from other racially minoritised communities are disproportionately impacted by domestic abuse, and face systemic inequalities at every stage of their involvement with the criminal justice system and other statutory and non-statutory services. Despite this, there is a systemic gap in effective and appropriate responses to domestic abuse across racialised communities. Through our national systems change work, we seek to address this systemic gap alongside specialist by-and-for organisations and experts. To find out more about the vital role of our partners in improving responses to those who cause harm and increasing the safety of victim-survivors, please read our latest blog: https://lnkd.in/eqANxjgh

Today as we celebrate Juneteenth, a pivotal moment in American history, it's an important time for us to reflect on the significance of this day and to consider how we can contribute to a more inclusive and equitable society. WHAT IS JUNETEENTH? Juneteenth, celebrated on June 19th, commemorates the day in 1865 when the last enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas, were informed of their freedom – over two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued. This day represents the resilience, strength, and enduring spirit of the Black community. WHY IS IT IMPORTANT? Juneteenth is not just a historical milestone; it’s a reminder of the ongoing journey towards justice and equality. It provides an opportunity to celebrate Black culture, reflect on the struggles against systemic racism, and renew our commitment to being better allies. HOW CAN WE CELEBRATE AND SHOW ALLYSHIP? Educate Ourselves: Take time to learn about the history of Juneteenth and the experiences of Black communities. Understanding the past is essential to fostering empathy and driving change. Support Black-Owned Businesses: Whether it's dining, shopping, or services, supporting Black-owned businesses strengthens communities and promotes economic empowerment. Engage in Open Conversations: Create and participate in spaces where open, honest dialogues about race, history, and allyship can occur. Listening and learning from each other’s experiences is vital. Attend Events and Activities: Join Juneteenth celebrations, whether they are parades, festivals, or virtual events.

I Facilitate Group Workshops for Leaders to Unlock Their Potential & Get Out of Their Own Way | 1:1 Coaching for Success in Business, Life & Relationships | British Psychological Society accredited Business Psychologist
I had the incredible opportunity to attend the launch event for UK Black Business Week, and it was truly an honor to be invited. The timing couldn't have been more perfect, as it coincided with the beginning of Black History Month. The room was brimming with remarkable, inspiring, and accomplished individuals from diverse backgrounds. It was a pleasure to reconnect with old friends and make new acquaintances, including brilliant Black entrepreneurs, professionals, and allies. Being in that room filled me with a sense of empowerment that words can hardly describe. Beyond the delightful hospitality, beyond the casual mingling, the messages conveyed by Raphael Sofoluke were crystal clear: “Despite the systemic barriers and historical injustices, the Black community has displayed unparalleled resilience and determination in the face of adversity.” As allies, it's crucial that we pause and reflect on our motives for supporting this cause. Are our actions driven by a deep alignment with our humanistic values? Are we genuinely committed to standing up against injustice? To effect lasting, positive change within the Black community, we must ask ourselves these questions. While we strive to shed light on these injustices, let us never lose sight of the incredible brilliance and glory within the Black community. Let's celebrate the numerous contributions, advancements, and fruits that have been generously shared with the world. As we continue our collective journey towards justice and equality, may we always remember to acknowledge and honor the beauty and resilience that define the Black community. Together, we can make a meaningful and sustained positive impact. 🙌🏽🖤 #UKBlackBusinessWeek #BlackExcellence #InjusticeAwareness #UnityAndEmpowerment Aggie Yemurai Mutuma FCIPD Cecilia Mutuma-Nwaigbo MCIPD Jenny Garrett OBE Charmaine Lartey Tutu Popoola Sarah Benjamin Raphael Sofoluke
