Unified Call to End Racial Attacks on Black Leaders and Organizations Dear Community Members, It is with a heavy heart and a steadfast determination that we address the alarming rise in racial attacks targeting our Black leaders and organizations. In a time when unity and progress seemed within reach, the resurgence of such despicable acts threatens to undo the strides towards equity and justice that we have fought for. As we emerge from a challenging period marked by a pandemic and a newfound sense of togetherness in the pursuit of social justice, it is disheartening to witness the blatant disregard for the principles of equality and respect. The recent wave of racial aggression directed at Black-led organizations and leaders across the country, including our own city, demands our collective voice and action. We cannot afford to remain silent in the face of these injustices that continue to plague our community. Each instance of discrimination not only hinders our progress but also perpetuates the systemic racism that undermines the very fabric of our society. It is imperative that we unite, speak out, and hold those accountable who propagate racial divisiveness and violence. Together, we must stand strong, unwavering in our commitment to solidarity and progress. We must amplify our voices, shine a light on these injustices, and work tirelessly to dismantle the barriers that impede our collective journey towards a more inclusive and just society. Let us not falter in our resolve to confront and eradicate racism in all its forms. In unity and determination, Jon Henry Both Sides Of The Conversation Changing The Narrative From Our Voices

For those in the US, what does July 4th mean for you? For me, it has always been about summer, fireworks, hot dogs… you get the picture. This year I am also thinking about freedom and independence in all its various facets. I can't help but reflect on the true meaning of freedom - and the freedom of choice. Bottom line, we live in a world where women are no longer fully free - even in so called advanced democracies. Abortion rights are a fundamental pillar of freedom. In the United States, we are seeing more rollbacks every day. Freedom must include the right to make decisions about our own bodies. Some of the most sobering and egregious facts are: •⁠ ⁠Just last week, Iowa became the latest state to tightly restrict access to abortion, after a 6-week abortion ban was upheld Iowa outlaws most abortions before many women even know they're pregnant. •⁠ ⁠In Missouri, abortion is completely banned with very limited exceptions. Women seeking an abortion must require an "affirmative defense", meaning they are expected to travel and prove in court that their abortion meets the criteria for a legal “exception”. •⁠ ⁠The state of Georgia prohibits most abortions after “fetal cardiac activity” is detected, typically occurring at around 6 weeks of pregnancy. •⁠ ⁠14 states have total abortion bans in place and women have no access to this essential healthcare. Women of means can (sometimes) cross state lines and find the care they need; what is a poor woman supposed to do in the face of these ghastly restrictions? So this July 4th I am giving a shout out to Roopan Gill MD MPH FRCSC (ObGyn) and Vitala Global Foundation. People like her have become soldiers in the fight for freedom of choice. More power to her and the team fighting the good fight every day. https://lnkd.in/eNVPehU2   Let’s work for a world where “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” has true meaning for all women. #ReproductiveRights #AbortionRights #IndependenceDay #Freedom #GenderEquality

Thinking Fast & Slow As some of you know, I host a weekly podcast called Strategies for Empowering Entrepreneurial Dreams SEED on the platform for ANE Global Global, a social enterprise that facilitates professionalism and economic viability among black owned and operated businesses. www.aneglobal.org. Today, for the first time, I would like to give an overview of what to expect in the next episode soon to be released on Saturday, 20th April. You may have heard of the African/Chinese proverb that says, "If you want to go fast, walk alone, but if you want to go far, walk with others." I have had cause to reflect on this due to the leadership roles I have played recently and have decided on a different approach, which is not to follow either positions absolutely but adopt a hybrid of the two. Doing this helps me to be ninble and to decide for each case when it's best to walk fast or slow. As a an entrepreneur and founder of several initiatives in the marketplace, I am constantly processing ideas of how to navigate several scenarios in ministry, community development and consulting (where simultaneously I am required to fill the roles of business development, strategy and/or operations) and as such need to think and act swiftly to gain or enhance our competitive advantage. Consequently, speed of execution is critical i.e. without suffering a loss in quality of output. Therefore, I find myself deciding whether to wear my operator hat and leverage my proven experience as an international consultant or to take on the position of a coach or leader holding back and letting others catch up, make their mistakes, but with the possibility of losing out on an identified opportunity. This mindset has largely been instrumental to how and why some of the organizations I am privileged to lead have remained relevant and are meeting the needs of the moment. I encourage every founder or highly driven business, community or faith leader not to take a backseat and let things slide especially when you are too trusting of those who may not share your passion or values..Rather, find ways to sustain the momentum by causing a positive change that will keep everyone moving ahead. So much to say but need to stop here. All the best 👍🏽 Eman | TAD | Tundosco 04.17.24

People don’t always see the connection with marketing and law. Usually it’s just the legal side of marketing or business that people think of when they consider their intersection. There’s so much more. This isn’t exactly what this clip is about, but seeing it, I’ll take my validation of my marketing bachelors and my JD. A win is a win.

🌟 Announcing the 2024 Black Corporate Responsibility Leaders Network Mentorship Program! by the esgEvolution🌟 📅 Applications Due: September 1, 2024 Sustainability and ESG work is a specialized, relatively young, and dynamic profession requiring a wide range of technical and organizational skills. Accessing the necessary knowledge and opportunities can be challenging and expensive, especially for BIPOC professionals who often have limited networks in one of the least ethnically diverse fields. For instance, only 4.8% of environmental professionals identify as Black, Asian, or another ethnic minority, compared to 12.6% across all professions. Despite some progress, diverse and female representation in executive leadership roles remains low, as noted by McKinsey & Company and the EEOC. 🌍 Program Highlights: ✅ Briefings on key sustainability and management topics ✅ Networking with industry leaders ✅ Career guidance from senior corporate professionals 🎯 Eligibility: ✔ First five years of a career in sustainability, ESG, or related fields ✔ Passion for social and environmental impact As diverse professionals who are both sustainability experts and senior corporate leaders, participants in the Black Corporate Responsibility Leaders Network are uniquely positioned to help open doors. This mentorship program aims to diversify our field by increasing access to knowledge and career opportunities for early-career professionals. 🔗 How to Apply: Submit a resume and a 1-page cover letter to mentorship@esgevolution.com by September 1, 2024, summarizing: ➡ Your professional accomplishments and future goals ➡ Support or knowledge needed for growth ➡ How mentors can benefit your career 📩 Don’t miss this chance to advance your career and make a bigger impact! https://lnkd.in/e4k7X86m 👉 #Sustainability #ESG #Mentorship #CareerGrowth #DiversityInLeadership
