Black Resistance: A Journey of Race and Resilience

In 2021, we initiated the virtual DEI in Action Series to highlight leaders of all different backgrounds that are elevating DEI awareness around the globe in their own unique ways across industries. The series was a HUGE success, garnering 700+ viewers from all over the world! We host five-yearly events to celebrate Black History Month, Women’s History Month, Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, Pride Month, and Hispanic Heritage Month.

Black History Month was created by Carter G. Woodson, an American historian and scholar known as the father of Black History. Woodson fervently believed that Black people should be proud of their heritage and all Americans should understand the largely overlooked achievements of Black Americans. In honor of this year’s national theme, Black Resistance, prominent Black leaders across industries will join our virtual series to share relevant personal stories of resilience and perspective on factors that inadvertently impacted the success of their professional career journeys.
