Our latest research at Shiva Foundation, conducted in collaboration with Wilberforce Institute and West Midlands Anti-Slavery Network, highlights the critical need to integrate cultural competency into support services for modern slavery survivors. This work was made possible through funding from Modern Slavery and Human Rights Policy and Evidence Centre and Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC). By building trust and making systems more accessible, we can develop key strategies to more effectively combat exploitation. This article offers valuable insights into the need for enhanced approaches to tackle this global issue, providing essential strategies to strengthen our responses. Discover how these strategies can lead to more effective solutions 👇 🔗 https://lnkd.in/d2wUTTdE

To my LinkedIn friends and colleagues, Some of you are aware of my passion for documentaries covering topics such as industry, government, public figures, and transportation. It's my privilege to share with you a documentary (see YouTube link below) about my hometown of Jefferson City, MO, which captures the oral history of residents from a black neighborhood known as "The Foot". This area was a vibrant mixed-use community, boasting everything from hotels to grocery stores. When it came to entertainment, The Foot was a hotspot where talented musical acts like Ike and Tina Turner often performed. I'm sharing this video not just because it's about my hometown, where many of my family members still reside, but because it provides a broader insight into the issue of Urban Renewal. We all know that Urban Renewal initiatives were largely destructive practices that disproportionately affected low-income and minority neighborhoods. However, too often, I think people associate Urban Renewal as an issue that only impacted large urban areas like Boston, Chicago, Cincinnati, NYC, and St. Louis. Small cities, like the one I grew up in, also suffered from this same negative approach to planning, and the impacts it had on small communities were just as devastating for those who lived there as they were for residents of big cities. Many of you are involved in industries that support and lead projects with the potential to profoundly influence both infrastructure and the social fabric of the communities they serve. This documentary, along with other examples, serves as a reminder that what we do truly matters and can have a lasting and deep impact. We must never lose sight of this as we advise and lead such developments. Happy Black History Month! https://lnkd.in/gtXy9tfC

Today, we honor Juneteenth, marking the end of slavery in the U.S. This day represents freedom, resilience, and the enduring spirit of those who fought for justice. As a minority-owned business, Juneteenth holds special meaning for us at Buckner and Sons Masonry. What Juneteenth Means to Us: Heritage & History: We stand on the shoulders of those who paved the way, allowing us to build and grow in an industry once inaccessible to many. Community & Unity: Just as masonry connects stones to form strong structures, Juneteenth unites us in the shared pursuit of equity and community strength. Progress & Innovation: Inspired by our heritage, we are committed to advancing diversity and creating opportunities in our field.
