As a Black Woman navigating the workplace, I am hyper aware of the way in which toxicity impacts the lives of myself and other Black Women across varying sectors. As Stacey Tisdale shared, this is a sobering reality that we can’t ignore. It’s imperative that we create safe spaces and internal practices that allow us to combat these disparities impacting the lives of Black Women. #RealityCheck #BlackWomenInTheWorkplace #CulturalCompetence

🚨 Read the Workplace Section of #ProjectNoirCLE 🚨 From being labeled "DEI hires" to facing performative anti-racism, the challenges are exhausting & costly for Black Women in Cleveland and across Northeast Ohio. We need more than checkbox solutions! Black Women need investment and transparent actions. 💻𝐖𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭: https://lnkd.in/ei7-wuXg #Cleveland #BlackWomen #HumanResources #WomenAtWork

The fight for racial equity rages on. We cannot overstate the importance of movies such as Six Triple Eight, which teach us of historical, horrible racist cruelties in a war to end genocide, and wake us up to the hard, cold fact of the continued onslaught of today’s deadly racism. Ask yourselves, what can I do to right this world? What part have I played in keeping others down? Today is that day. If you haven’t watched this show, start today.

Yesterday was disappointing for all the Black women entrepreneurs who were counting on this program to support their businesses. It’s a stark reminder that systemic racism is still very much alive and well in our society, and that we must continue to fight for equality and justice for all. It’s also a reminder that we can’t rely on the government or the courts to do the right thing – we have to support each other and lift each other up. We’re all we’ve got, and we have to stand together in the face of injustice. We stand with @fearless.fund and all Black women entrepreneurs, and we will continue to fight for a more just and equitable society. Together, we can make a difference. #BlackWomenEntrepreneurs #Equality #Justice

There’s strength in being with other Black Women who understand our journey, struggles and triumphs without needing a long explanation... I was up late thinking about this and ended up writing a blog post on how we can build the community that we need right now. I'll put the link to the post in the comments so you can read it and add your thoughts. #community #newblogpost

Leadership despite adversity. This movie was a great depiction of strength and determination. Understanding how to recognize that although some people may not want you to succeed, that you have the ability to overcome and persevere! Her Leadership in this movie highlighted a few things… 1. Discipline and Accountability- She made her expectations clear and challenged the girls. She held them to a standard of decorum. She also challenged her superior in this very moment, standing up for her team and their work despite what was being said or thought. 2. Empathy- She paid attention to when things happened, allowed for the ladies to express themselves and accommodated them on things that truly mattered to them. 3. Collaboration and Collective listening- When the mail kept getting returned, she reached out to her ladies to hear their thoughts and suggestions, incorporating them in the strategy to achieving their goal. 4. Recognition- When the ladies did a good job, she told them! 5. Vision - The task seemed small to her at first but when she realized the magnitude of the situation, she recognized the level of impact her team had to a bigger purpose. She drove that stance to make sure they understood why they were there and what they were there to do! Despite what they said about her to her face and behind her back, she continued to drive forward achieving what she knew to be success, which was far beyond what people expected of her. It was a movie, but I took a lot from it. Leadership is what you make it and this was a great example!

Some thoughts from our founder.

Root Cause Analysis. Why does DEI exists? DEI is a hot topic yet ask yourself if the world was equitable and people have good spiritual intentions the following laws would not need said law. Other laws to ensure that all have a equitable chance. After the hire Look up ADA, Ledbetter Act, GINA, and Anti Age discrimination laws. With education start with the basics Board v Brown.etc. If you use DEI or question one demographic then go and ask it for everyone was this a DEI hire fill in the blank(s).
