🌟 Canto SKO left an indelible mark on my career journey, standing out as THE best #SKO experience. It wasn't just about enduring a typical PowerPoint parade and being talked at; it was an immersive blend of reward, inspiration, and genuine camaraderie. No checkboxes here—just real, impactful team building in one luxurious and stunning location. The schedule struck the perfect balance, allowing us ample time for both learning and leisure.

What can Pittsburgh's transformation teach us in Hamilton? Pittsburgh and the City Of Hamilton share a common history in their industrial pre-eminence in steel in the mid 1900's. Carnegie Steel, U.S. Steel, Dofasco and Stelco. Giants of their era. Dominant in their regions. Strategic employers. Philanthropic pillars. But the decline in the steel industry devastated both regions in the inevitable job losses, rapid decline of the local economies and urban decay. What happened next in both communities shared some early similarities in the slow pivot to education and health care. But in Pittsburgh's case far more progress was made. Our respective communities are in markedly different positions today. The reasons are many and varied and, in Pittsburgh's case the subject of a great deal of research and writing (and worth exploring if you're interested). Much harder to pin down are the reasons for our struggles. But whatever the reasons, we're at a cross roads (again). But this time we have in our grasp the potential to achieve and exceed what Pittsburgh has accomplished in the coming decades for reasons that PJ Mercanti and I touch on with Mike Fortune. Beyond on our remarks here, let me share what I see from my work in the area that leaves me optimistic about our region's future: 💪 The Oak View Group's investment with Live Nation Entertainment in collaboration with HUPEG in our City's key downtown asset, centered as it is on entertainment - particularly music and performance - will yield massive economic local economic impacts and not just in the infrastructure investment, but in ongoing retail and hospitality spend, employment and skills training, local procurement and international civic brand recognition. 💪 We're Canada's biggest small town. Our leadership in every sector is deeply connected. We know each other. Not always collaborative or high functioning - but possessing that potential. And OVG is the kick in the pants we all need. 💪 Our region is insanely well positioned geographically as the connecting node btw the GTA and the US market. 💪 Lets not forget about the City of Burlington right next door. One of Canada's most livable cities. Widely recognized as a jewel. Led by a future focused Mayor (Marianne Meed Ward (C.Dir.) and Council. And is itself on the cusp of massive infrastructure transformation in the coming years owing to the efforts of its largest land owner and developer Alinea Land Corporation whose proposed projects in Aldershot, Appleby and Bronte Creek will soon burst into public view offering the prospect of new amenities, a remarkable inventory of housing and a magnet for the retention and attraction of talent. Not unlike Austin Texas, we have a quirky, creative, disruptive, iconoclastic, irreverent heart. And with that the opportunity to lean into the creative industries in music, film, food, art and sports. Its now about execution and grit. We can do this. 🌟

Kappa Alpha Psi is a historically Black fraternity founded in 1911 at Indiana University Bloomington, with a mission centered around achievement in every field of human endeavor. Its inclusion in such a high-profile event as the Super Bowl halftime show serves multiple purposes: 1.      Visibility and Representation: The presence of Kappa Alpha Psi members alongside Usher, a global superstar, at an event watched by millions worldwide provides a platform for showcasing the fraternity's traditions, culture, and the broader historical and cultural significance of Black Greek letter organizations (BGLOs) in America.

The performance celebrates African American culture and heritage by incorporating elements of Kappa Alpha Psi, such as their steps, chants, or symbolism, showcasing the rich traditions of Black fraternities and sororities to a broader audience. 3.      Solidarity and Support: Usher's decision to include members of Kappa Alpha Psi in his performance can also be seen as an expression of solidarity and support for the African American community and its institutions. It recognizes the importance of Black fraternities and sororities in fostering community, leadership, and academic achievement among their members. 4.      Empowerment and Inspiration: For young African Americans, seeing members of Kappa Alpha Psi performing in such a significant and mainstream event can be empowering and inspiring. It demonstrates the impact and relevance of BGLOs in contemporary society and encourages young people to aspire to achievement and service. 5.      Networking and Collaboration: Usher's and Kappa Alpha Psi's collaboration for the Super Bowl halftime show highlights the potential for partnerships between artists and community organizations. Such collaborations can open doors for further engagements, projects, and initiatives that benefit broader communities and causes.

Since 2021, the NFL has included “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” in the Super Bowl in honor of Black History Month. This year, the criticism seemed louder, calling the song divisive and even offensive to our national anthem. Some even booed Andra Day as she belted out the inspirational tune. Much of that criticism stems from the song’s nickname as the Black National Anthem. 📚Quick History Lesson James Weldon Johnson wrote, “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” as a poem in honor of Abraham Lincoln’s birthday. His brother set it to music and a group of school children performed it for a celebration for the late president. Fast forward to 1919, one of the most violent years for Black Americans post Civil War. The NAACP declared “Lift Every Voice and Sing” their official song. They began promoting it as the Black National Anthem and as a rallying cry for the fight for freedom and justice. In 1919, the United States did not have a national anthem. We didn’t get that until 1931 when Congress officially made the “Star Spangled Banner” our national anthem. So is “Lift Every Voice and Sing” divisive? I’d say quite the opposite. The song doesn’t say lift Black voices, but every voice. Singing it is recognizing and honoring our history. It doesn’t replace or compete with our national anthem. It is a song that inspires and envisions liberty and justice for all. For those who take issue with its 125 year old nickname, is it the semantics that’s the issue or just the concept of freedom and justice for all? https://lnkd.in/eTmg8MJJ #lifteveryvoiceandsing #blackhistorymonth #blacknationalanthem #nfl #superbowl #andraday #nationalanthem #bhm #dei #diversityequityinclusion #superbowl2024 #diversity #historyfacts #historylessons #naacp
