As today's political theater attacks the relevance, significance and importance of #DEI, my heart is warmed seeing this post from my alma mater The University of Notre Dame. True colors are beginning to show, as organizations and individuals are walking back their commitment to #DEI, proving their interest was mostly performative. #DEI must be interwoven into the fabric and DNA of an organization, be a foundational pillar in the organization's vission and mission, and not be viewed as a separate program or initiative. Organizational leaders in #DEI must have roles that contribute to vision and mission achievement across the core business functions that create business value, else they will be on the chopping block when the market turns and costs need to be cut. When #DEI is run as a program or an initiative, the end is inevitably in sight.
At Notre Dame, our commitment to diversity and inclusion is at the heart of our mission as a Catholic university. This #MLKDay kicks off Walk the Walk Week 2024 with events designed to help us consider how we—both individually and collectively—can take an active role in making Notre Dame more welcoming and inclusive. Please join us: https://go.nd.edu/WTWW

Such an empowering Workshop: Gaining Knowledge and Skills for Social Impact. Thanks to Roads to Reconciliation: Activating Multicultural Communities
"When we identify our allies in the challenges facing our communities, we must not lose sight of those for whom these issues could well be in their future, if not right now". Maria Dimopoulos shares her wisdom on Roads to Reconciliation: Activating Multicultural Communities. Tonight we visited Melbourne's north and the City of Whittlesea - Epping, thanks to the support of Alex Haynes and her team at Whittlesea Community Connections. Thank you Epping for the powerful insights into the challenges and opportunities facing our northern multicultural communities. Next week we're in Warrnambool City Council! This work is supported by the Victorian Government and brought to you by the National Centre for Reconciliation, Truth, and Justice.

https://lnkd.in/eN734MTM As the year draws to a close, I want to take a moment to pause and reflect on the remarkable strides we have made in 2023. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to each member and our invaluable corporate partners. Your unwavering commitment has been the driving force behind the success of Black-owned businesses across the nation, fostering growth, innovation, and a stronger economic landscape. Yet, our work is far from over. As we stand at the precipice of a pivotal year in American history, it is crucial to address the current challenges to the principles of equality and diversity we hold dear. Recent events remind us of the fragility of the rights that combat discrimination, rights that are now under threat. It is our duty, both individually and as a community, to protect and promote the values of equity and inclusion. Looking ahead to 2024, we see that the fight for affirmative action and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) is ongoing. The symptoms of discrimination and inequality that have persisted for centuries are still present in our society. We must come together, bridging the private and public sectors, major corporations, and minority-owned businesses, to defend and strengthen these initiatives. Remember, "The only way to have a Great America is to have a great Black America, and the only way to have a great Black America is to have strong Black businesses." The strength of our nation is inherently linked to the strength of our diverse communities and businesses. To fortify our Black businesses, we must collectively work to break down barriers that hinder progress. In 2024, USBC is committed to advocating for affirmative action programs and advancing DEI initiatives. We will engage in collaborative efforts with businesses, public institutions, and grassroots organizations to ensure that our progress is not undone. We express our deepest appreciation for your steadfast trust and support. As the Global Voice of Black Business, our mission remains to economically empower and sustain African-American communities through entrepreneurship and business development. Excitingly, the upcoming year will see the launch of the USBC Media Network, encompassing The National Association of Black Owned Broadcasters (NABOB) which is now a division of USBC, USBC Radio Network, and USBC Digital Media. This empowers us to amplify our stories, advocate for our issues, and optimize the Black media ecosystem. Members can also look forward to an engaging USBC National Conference as we celebrate our 15th year anniversary, along with informative events for networking and learning. Remember to renew memberships, get certified with ByBlack, follow us on social media, and engage with your local Black Chamber of Commerce. Additionally, take advantage of the resources offered by the USBC Community Economic Development Corporation to jump-start your business success.
