Today, we commemorate Juneteenth, a day that symbolizes freedom, unity, and the resilience of the human spirit. As we reflect on the history of this significant day, let us remember the courage and determination of those who fought for emancipation and equality. Juneteenth serves as a reminder that the journey towards true freedom and justice is ongoing. It calls upon us to embrace diversity, celebrate Black excellence, and continue the work of dismantling systemic racism. Let us use this day to educate ourselves, engage in meaningful conversations, and take action towards a more inclusive and equitable society. Together, we can build a future where every individual is valued, respected, and empowered to thrive. Happy Juneteenth! #Juneteenth #FreedomDay #EmancipationDay

I think this is an important conversation. A little off the beaten path for me as a product manager and AI professional but I really care about personal finance and economics. Financial literacy and upward mobility are important to me. It’s a problem worth solving. In fact, society is crumbling a bit from some of the issues outlined in this conversation from Scott Galloway. I am preparing to teach some lessons on financial stewardship and I am really trying to make sure the message doesn’t fall flat with a group of young people who are exasperated with the fact that wages are worse and costs are more than ever so there is not a way to ladder up from low to middle or middle to high socioeconomic class. There is in fact a wealth accumulation magnet in our system that is benefiting older and already rich asset holders. Would love to hear your thoughts! What would you tell a 24 year old right now about how to overcome the economic context they live in and level up in any way shape or form? 💭

Hi. My name is LaTonya Renee, and I am a F.A.C.E. - Female African American Christian Entrepreneur. I'm giving you 3 tips to start a business. First one, sis, you gotta know you're not better than anybody else, and ain't nobody better than you.Period! If you believe you can start a business, and you want to, you can. That's it. Tip number 2. Please know that your business have to align with your purpose. What are your skill sets? Why do people call you? What do you love doing? That is the business you should be in. Do not just start a business for the sake of making money. Been there, done that, failed. Okay? If it's not what you're passionate about, don't do it. Tip number 3, and this is the most important one, I believe. Well, no. That's not true. They all important. Tip number 3. Make sure you know how much money you wanna make, because that's how you're gonna outline your business to meet your goals. Start from where you want to go. And if you're a fellow F.A.C.E., drop that in the comments. I want to meet you. 🥰

Dear Christian school and university leader, What message does it send to students when the majority of the people serving food or cleaning the campus are black, but there are hardly any black teachers or leaders? What message does it send when the only black teachers are the football and basketball coaches? I know it's hard to find minorities willing to work in Christian schools and universities, for a whole host of reasons. But there are ways to increase black applicants.* 1) Develop relationships with black churches in the area. Meet their pastors. Take them to lunch or coffee. Build trust. Identify ways to serve these churches. Then, when you have an opening, you can call these Christian leaders and they can announce the job, post the job, and inform their networks. 2) Host a job fair at your school or university. In hosting the job fair, you can partner with other schools or universities in the area, but be sure to recruit minorities to attend. Which leads me to... 3) Recruit from HBCUs (Historically Black Colleges and Universities). There are Christian graduates who may be interested in openly expressing their faith while fulfilling their vocational interests. HBCUs are also producing strong graduates in the STEM fields. 4) Form a parent group comprised of parents who are interested in diversity and unity. You will have parents from all different races and backgrounds who want to participate. Even if the group is small, their network will be vast. By using this strategy I was once introduced to at least five black qualified candidates for an open middle-school principal position. 5) Pray that God will send you those kingdom minded black people who share your biblical values. Prayer works. 6) Ensure that you address possible impediments to minority flourishing that may deter black candidates or lead to low retention. This is not about simply hiring black people regardless of their qualifications. This is about contesting the narrative that says there are no qualified black leaders and teachers who love Jesus who can contribute to your school. This is about breaking down the walls of segregation that still exist in our communities. This is about being hospitable to the stranger and welcoming him or her in. This is about me. I've been working at predominantly white schools and universities for the past eight years because leaders saw the value in intentionally bringing my cultural perspective and background to their institutions. There are other men and women who God wants to use to bring light, love, and leadership to your school. Trust Him, and start taking the steps today! *These lessons also work for minorities of any ethnic background.
