Doing it right

The Black First Gen collective ... always felt like home to me. Thank you Althea Counts for introducing me to this wonderful group of humans who have become friends and colleagues. May the next group of leaders be as encouraged as I am. (SN: A hallmark of leadership is knowing when it is time to step down and make room for new talent with fresh perspectives. But it also requires self-awareness and humility. Add this to your next leadership training seminar because this goes beyond succession planning.)

We’re kicking off #BlackHistoryMonth with thoughtful prospective from our own Demetra Davis, who believes this month provides an opportunity to recognize and honor the contributions, achievements, and experiences of Black individuals throughout history. If you want to become an ally to the Black community, Demetra advises, “Remember, allyship is an ongoing commitment. It requires continuous learning, self-reflection, and action.” #BlackHistoryMonth #WeAreSitecore #OneSitecore #BlackExcellence #BlackHistoryMatters #BlackHistoryMonth2024

During Black History Month, we honor the remarkable achievements of black inventors like Garrett Morgan, whose inventions revolutionized industries. As we celebrate his legacy, let's also reflect on the importance of diversity in product management. By embracing diverse perspectives, we unlock innovation and create products that truly resonate with a global audience. Let's continue to champion inclusivity and honor the contributions of black innovators in product development. #BlackHistoryMonth #Innovation #ProductManagement 🚀

This year at Verily, we are embracing the theme of "Bridging the Gap for Health Equity" for Black History Month to celebrate the contributions and achievements of Black leaders and to take action towards a better future where high-quality health care and research are available to everyone. As john powell shares, bridging requires acknowledging people's full humanity, listening compassionately, and starting the conversation with shared #values not issues. In that spirit, we're launching a year-long learning series at Verily called "VIBE Talks" to bring leaders and experts to help us deepen our knowledge and practice of promoting #healthequity, #accessibility, and #productinclusion for everyone. First up is a conversation with leaders from our Health Equity Center of Excellence and leaders from vBlack (our ERG for Black+ community and allies) on why health equity matters to them personally and is important to our company's purpose of precision health.

February serves as a unique period to celebrate and acknowledge the pivotal contributions of Black Americans to the history of the United States. This goes beyond just a month, embodying a tribute to the enduring resilience, significant contributions, profound impact, and rich cultural heritage of the Black community.
