In August, Constant Contact's Black, Women and Able Affinity groups (ERGs), co-sponsored viewings of Arise Firebird by Folajimi Worldwide as well as a discussion with director Jimi Okubanjo. The documentary shares the powerful, personal stories of black women who were driven out of the workplace due to the discrimination, attitudes, behaviors and outright disrespect directed at them. The documentary equally shares their inspirational resilience after removing themselves from the lion's cage, and each finding paths of fulfillment. This experience opened my eyes and heart to deeply emotional stories and experiences; it has resurged a spark to help leaders understand what inclusion, allyship and a respectful workplace truly feel like; and it reminded me that we each have the ability to change the world for the better - one person at a time. If inclusion, allyship, diversity, psychological safety, or simply being good human beings are important to you or your business, I encourage you to watch the two-minute trailer, to reach out to Jimi, to share this experience with your leaders and your employees, and engage in powerful dialogue. I am so proud of the team that brought this to Constant Contact, and thankful for how it continues to shape my thinking. #arisefirebird #Inspirechange #onectct #constantcontact #leadership #Inclusion #allyship #diversity #humanresources https://lnkd.in/gET7Yn2r
