GoTo Foods’ Post

At inKind, we believe in honoring the diverse histories and cultures of our employees and partners. For Juneteenth, an employee resource group came together to host a powerful panel discussion that highlighted the significance of this historic day and why it's essential to amplify Black and African American stories and experiences. The agenda included a catered lunch by Community Vegan which is a local Austin Black-Owned vegan food truck. We then played a trivia game that focused on black history, followed by a how-to-learn session that outlined guidelines for creating a safe space to learn. We were joined by two guest speakers Chris, from Ember, and Marlon, the founder of Community Vegan, for a fireside chat. They talked about how they honor their culinary heritage to help contribute to a sense of solidarity and connection, their personal stories, and how they celebrate Juneteenth. It's an opportunity to foster a sense of belonging and unity within our workplace, showing our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. By listening to and learning from these experiences, we can work towards creating a more equitable and inclusive environment for everyone. It is a reminder that “nobody is free until everybody is free.” This day should be celebrated as the day when all Americans were liberated. It is a day to reflect, learn, and grow. Celebrate by supporting black-owned businesses. Educate yourself and those around you on Black History. Celebrate Freedom and take time to rest. #Juneteenth #DiversityAndInclusion #BlackVoicesMatter #inKind

Our CEO, Joelle Murchison, answers our #QuestionOfTheWeek for #BlackHistoryMonth. Leave us your answer in the comments!⬇️ Question: In what ways can companies create inclusive cultures that celebrate the unique contributions of Black employees? Answer: Organizations should engage their Black employee resource group in order to get a sense of what opportunities might be available through partnerships and community involvement to celebrate Black culture. They also can ensure that those partnerships and messages are present all year long, not just during Black History Month. #InclusiveWorkplaces #EMG #DEI

For Black Americans, #Juneteenth is a day of celebration, commemorating the end of slavery. For business leaders, it’s an opportunity to not only celebrate but also to honestly self reflect on how you’re investing in Black employees. Here are four questions to consider, courtesy of D'Andrala Alexander, M.A., LPC-S CEAP, Spring Health's Director of Clinical Partnerships: 💭 Are there Black employees in positions of leadership within the organization? 💭 What is the wage breakdown? Are most Black employees earning the lowest salaries? 💭 Are Black employees being fairly compensated based on their value to the company? 💭Do Black employees feel safe and empowered to bring their authentic selves to work? The struggle against racism is still felt on both individual and systemic levels. Hundreds of years of racism didn’t vanish overnight with Juneteenth or the Civil Rights Movement. Celebrating Juneteenth matters—but it should be accompanied by sustained, meaningful action throughout the year. #DEIB
