Did you know history is filled with moments where racism in leadership led to stark failures? 🕰️📚 #BlackHistoryMonth is a time to reflect, learn, and act. This week, let's dive into how the shadow of racism has led to missed opportunities that shaped our societies. Racism has not only marred the fabric of our communities but also the corridors of leadership, from presidential decisions that hindered racial progress post-Civil War to corporate DEI initiatives that fall short of addressing systemic inequalities. Each instance is a stark reminder of the cost of exclusion and the urgent need for inclusive leadership. 🤝 As an ally and a learner, I invite you to reflect on these historical missteps not with a spirit of despair but as a call to action. Let's educate ourselves on these failures to ensure they do not repeat. Try incorporating a moment of reflection in your daily routine this month to consider how inclusivity can be enhanced in your sphere of influence. Let's commit to being part of the change, fostering an environment where diversity is not just welcomed but celebrated. 🌍✨ What steps can we take today to build a more inclusive workplace that learns from the past? Share your thoughts and actions. #InclusiveLeadership #DiversityAndInclusion #LearnAndGrow

If you’re a business leader, you might know you “need” accessibility, but do you “want” it? You might “need” it to comply with legislation, but that doesn’t mean you “want” it. When you “want” accessibility, you: - Create a culture of accessibility with top-line accountability in every department - Listen to the lived experience of people with disabilities and act on what you hear (and if you don’t hear anything, you ask why) - Involve people with disabilities in designing solutions and understand that there’s no finish line when you put people first What else would you add? Let’s start a conversation about this! Tag someone you know in the comments. I’d love to hear from Meryl Evans, CPACC (deaf) Catarina Rivera, MSEd, MPH, CPACC Holly Tuke Samantha Evans, ICE-CCP, CAE, MBA #AccessibilityMatters #A11y #Leadership #Inclusion #SquarelyAccessible

Read that again, more so if you work in a leadership or decision making capacity. Inclusion and exclusion both have a drastic domino effect. Read that again. #inclusionmatters #allyship

Today is Juneteenth, a day commemorating the end of slavery in the United States. It serves as a sign of resilience in the fight for freedom and a reminder of the sacrifices made in pursuit of equality and justice. As we honor this time, it’s important to think about how we can continue to encourage inclusive environments, honor diversity, and provide equal opportunities for all as we foster the next generations of leaders.  #Juneteenth #DiversityEquityInclusion #Leadership #OrganizationalLeadership
