One of the missions of the Black Leadership Group is to empower Black talent. During our initial launch of the Black Leadership Job Board, Robin Landman OBE CCMI, discussed that organisations can seem reluctant to seek out Black talent even though there is no shortage of it. Organisations need to remember that Black individuals don’t want to be the only person in a leadership team, they need to remember that Black individuals don’t want to be the sole representation in a leadership team; they need assurance that their selection is based on merit, not just diversity quotas.

This month, we honor the monumental contributions of Black leaders and innovators who have shaped the landscape of sales, leadership, and beyond. 🌟 From groundbreaking entrepreneurs like Madam C.J. Walker, the first female self-made millionaire in America, to modern-day leaders who continue to inspire and drive change, the influence of Black professionals in the business world is immeasurable. Their stories of resilience, innovation, and success are not just chapters of Black history but integral pages in business history. They've paved the way for more inclusive, equitable practices in sales and leadership, teaching us the invaluable lesson that diversity is not just beneficial but essential for success. As we celebrate this month, let's commit to learning from these trailblazers, advocating for diversity and inclusion, and building on their legacy to create a more equitable future in all sectors, including sales and leadership.

In 2018, I set out on a quest to identify 277 out of 21,356 Black headteachers in the UK, fueled by a desire for representation and a connection to Black trailblazers in education https://lnkd.in/ekAkk4Vw (new list pending). Fast forward to a recent half term, where I was introduced to the transformative book, “Letter to a Young Generation.” Authored by the inspiring Amanda Wilson, this literary work breathed new life into my purpose, urging Black future leaders to embrace boldness and courage on their journey towards headship. The importance of representation is further emphasised in the context of a low number of Black teachers advancing to middle and senior leadership roles in the UK. This book features letters from Black headteachers across the UK, sharing advice for the next generation. It's a resource for those contemplating leadership, navigating not only why but also how, in the face of underrepresentation within the profession. #EducationLeadership #RepresentationMatters #Inspiration #LeadingEquality

During the Congressional Black Caucus Annual Leadership Conference, our CEO, Kelly Burton, PhD, and the Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Global Markets and Director General of the U.S. and Foreign Commercial Service, Arun Venkataraman, officially signed the agreement establishing BIA as a strategic partner of the International Trade Administration (ITA). The partnership is focused on equipping Black entrepreneurs with the tools and resources necessary to understand trade and exporting and increase their global competitiveness.

Research confirms that Black Canadians continue to be significantly underrepresented in civic leadership roles, including senior public service, regulatory bodies, and other gateway professions to civic leadership roles, such as law, public policy, and business. Research also confirms that this chronic under-representation of Black people in civic leadership roles has taken a serious toll on the engagement of Black Canadian youth in Canada's civic life. The 1834 Foundation’s programs are designed to help reverse this trend, and to help create a new generation of high-calibre Black civic leaders.
