February marks the beginning of a special time of remembrance and reflection. As Black History Month kicks off, I invite you all to join us in honoring African Americans' indelible impact and influence today and through the ages. This month is about so much more than achievements alone - it is a celebration of resilience, perseverance, and courage in the face of immense adversity. From revolutionaries who fought tirelessly for equality and justice to brilliant scientific minds who pushed the boundaries of what was thought possible, the contributions of the Black community span all areas of life and culture. Though discrimination and its ugly echoes still persist, taking time to educate ourselves on Black history gives us insights into how far we've come as a society. It also reminds us of the work still left to be done in championing diversity, empowerment, and true unity. As Dr. King said, the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice. So, let compassion and understanding guide us in the weeks ahead. Learn about inspiring figures like Shirley Chisholm, Benjamin Banneker, or Frederick Douglass. Support Black-owned businesses and amplify Black voices. Notable Black advisors and wealth managers, including William Huston, Ekenna Anya-Gafu, Mellody Hobson, Chris Browning, Patrice Washington, Dasarte Yarnway, and Elizabeth Salas Evans. Most of all, honor the legacy of leadership through non-violence by continuing the vital conversations around racial equity.

At Startek®, we honor and celebrate Black History Month by recognizing the invaluable contributions of our diverse workforce, and spotlighting the achievements of our Black employees who drive our success in customer experience solutions. This year, we commemorate #BlackHistoryMonth, acknowledging the diverse impacts of Black Americans on visual arts, music, cultural movements and more. Join us in celebrating our amazing employees who continue to push us to new heights and reflect on the profound influence of Black history with questions like: Rosa Womack: Which Black icon has inspired you and how have they influenced your life? Veneshia White: What aspect of Black history resonates with you the most and why? Shanetha Stallings: What moment in Black History inspires you? Trey Wilson: What advice would you give young Black agents starting their call center journey?

This Black History Month, we honor the invaluable contributions of Black Americans to our nation's history, culture, and legal system. As we look back on their enduring legacy, we both appreciate how far we've come and recognize how much further we have to go to secure justice and equality for all. According to the American Bar Association, African Americans account for just 5% of all lawyers in the United States while representing 13.4% of the total U.S. population, the same share as a decade ago. We're committed to closing that gap. Together, let's continue to champion diversity and inclusion not just this month, but every day of the year. #TuckerEllis #BlackHistoryMonth #DiversityandInclusion #LegalExcellence #JusticeforAll

February is Black History Month. What can you do to celebrate? Well, I'm so glad you asked! ✊ Invest in Black-owned businesses Do you follow a Black creator on social media? Sign up for their Pateron! Or go grab a bite to eat at a Black-owned business. ✊ Take time to learn about the Black experience There's tons of documentaries and movies illustrating the experience of Black Americans. Having trouble choosing one? My recommendation would be the documentary-- 13th. ✊ Amplify Black Voices Share posts from Black creators, engage with their content! One of my favorite authors/creators is Rachel Cargle and during Black History Month, she encourages those that follow her on social media to do the work instead of her doing all the heavy lifting, and in doing so, will posts prompts for followers to take time to research and dig into for themselves. 👊 Celebrate, but don't ask for labor If it was your birthday and someone asked you to bake your own cake, it might be a little confusing, right? Let's not put the work on people of color to educate. But let's definitely celebrate the many contributions that Black Americans have made to this country.
