The Grand Facilitator - Connecting Ambition with Opportunity - Strategic architect of organizational growth, leveraging expertise in talent acquisition to shape high-performing teams.
On this day 246 years ago, the Second Continental Congress passed the first Flag Act stating: "Resolved, That the flag of the thirteen United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new constellation." From Betsy Ross's legendary creation to the 50 stars on the flag today representing each state in our nation, Old Glory has become an enduring symbol of American ideals - liberty, democracy, and the never-ending pursuit of justice and equality for all. While the flag has gone through redesigns over the centuries as new states joined, its core meaning has remained constant - representing the indomitable American spirit of courage, perseverance, and an unwavering commitment to freedom. On Flag Day, we honor the powerful ideals embedded in those stars and stripes. We celebrate the hard-fought journey of progress to continually push America to live up to its founding promise of liberty and justice for all. So fly your flags high today and every day. For the flag is a living symbol, calling on us all to protect and uphold the values that have illuminated America's path for nearly 250 years. #FlagDay #FlagDayUSA #OldGlory #AmericanFlag #Patriotism #Liberty #Democracy #Equality #Lee

REPARATION VS. MONUMENT | WHAT IS MORE IMPORTANT TO BLACK AMERICANS OR BLACKS | LISTEN!!! Reparations Pros: Addressing Historical Injustice: Reparations could provide tangible acknowledgment of the injustices faced by African Americans during and after the riots. Economic Empowerment: Financial reparations or community investment could help mitigate the lasting economic disparities caused by systemic racism. Healing and Reconciliation: This approach might foster dialogue and understanding between communities. #SDWJR #MONUMENT #REPARATION #SLAVERY #BLACKLIVESMATTER #MONEY #BLACKOWNEDBUSINESSES

The Olympic Games are communications gold for teams who need to convey core American values in ways that appeal to the best within us in contrast to opposition. No need to react to narrow world views when it's easier and better to showcase values more Americans hold in common. 1. Brittney Griner competes for Olympic Gold. Her jailers are banned. Freedom matters. 2. Our leaders should reflect the diversity of our Olympic team. Stronger together. 3. Celebrate diversity as an American strength. Work for equity as a core American value. Pledge to advance inclusion, as in "liberty and justice for ALL." USA! 🇺🇸

The International Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Slavery and the Transatlantic Slave Trade is observed annually on March 25. This day serves as a reminder of the profound suffering and injustices endured by millions of Black men, women, and children who were forcibly enslaved and transported across the Atlantic Ocean to the Americas. Through education, commemoration, and reflection, this day raises awareness about the lasting impact of the transatlantic slave trade on societies around the world. It also encourages people to confront the painful legacy of slavery and to work towards a more just and equitable future for all and serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of combating racism, discrimination, and all forms of modern slavery.

https://lnkd.in/eN734MTM As the year draws to a close, I want to take a moment to pause and reflect on the remarkable strides we have made in 2023. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to each member and our invaluable corporate partners. Your unwavering commitment has been the driving force behind the success of Black-owned businesses across the nation, fostering growth, innovation, and a stronger economic landscape. Yet, our work is far from over. As we stand at the precipice of a pivotal year in American history, it is crucial to address the current challenges to the principles of equality and diversity we hold dear. Recent events remind us of the fragility of the rights that combat discrimination, rights that are now under threat. It is our duty, both individually and as a community, to protect and promote the values of equity and inclusion. Looking ahead to 2024, we see that the fight for affirmative action and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) is ongoing. The symptoms of discrimination and inequality that have persisted for centuries are still present in our society. We must come together, bridging the private and public sectors, major corporations, and minority-owned businesses, to defend and strengthen these initiatives. Remember, "The only way to have a Great America is to have a great Black America, and the only way to have a great Black America is to have strong Black businesses." The strength of our nation is inherently linked to the strength of our diverse communities and businesses. To fortify our Black businesses, we must collectively work to break down barriers that hinder progress. In 2024, USBC is committed to advocating for affirmative action programs and advancing DEI initiatives. We will engage in collaborative efforts with businesses, public institutions, and grassroots organizations to ensure that our progress is not undone. We express our deepest appreciation for your steadfast trust and support. As the Global Voice of Black Business, our mission remains to economically empower and sustain African-American communities through entrepreneurship and business development. Excitingly, the upcoming year will see the launch of the USBC Media Network, encompassing The National Association of Black Owned Broadcasters (NABOB) which is now a division of USBC, USBC Radio Network, and USBC Digital Media. This empowers us to amplify our stories, advocate for our issues, and optimize the Black media ecosystem. Members can also look forward to an engaging USBC National Conference as we celebrate our 15th year anniversary, along with informative events for networking and learning. Remember to renew memberships, get certified with ByBlack, follow us on social media, and engage with your local Black Chamber of Commerce. Additionally, take advantage of the resources offered by the USBC Community Economic Development Corporation to jump-start your business success.
