In the 10th anniversary of the Women in the Workplace 2024 report by McKinsey & Company in partnership with Lean In, Black women face significant barriers to leadership. While 54% of Black women were promoted to the manager level, this still reflects a decline in representation, underscoring the need for ongoing advocacy and support in our workplaces. We need more than representation; we need lasting, systemic change! 👉 Click here for more insights https://lnkd.in/eRyC5nT

This panel was AMAZING. Some big pieces I took out of this: 1. 60% of DEI roles are held by white women - diversity does not end at gender. Hiring on white women for your corporate team does not make your team diverse. bias is just as much about who you help as it is who you hurt. 2. CSR’s main KPI’s should be the efficacy with which their campaigns address real problems; not the marketability of those actions. Asya Hill was sending absolute HEAT on this subject 👏🏻🙌🏻 3. WHY COLUMBUS-ING: black and brown folks built this industry from pre prohibition to our current day. White people with capitol swept in to “discover and perfect” this “brand new” industrial opportunity and are severely limiting their feedback from POC by not including them in their corporate structures. The entire panel was filled with actionable items for attendees and valuable insight at how you can not only make your company more equitable for people of color- but how to make your company a safe place for them to express their opinions in the first place. Thought provoking af y’all 💓 huge thank you to Black CannaBusiness expo for putting on these valuable panels!

I just wanted to share an incredible pinch me moment happening right now! 8 years ago almost to the day my sister & I first visited New York with big dreams of one day coming back and speaking on stage, holding an event for women, running a female founder Trade Mission and launching a book. This week we’re here doing just that!! My sister & I are holding a Summit with speakers from all over the world, hosting the inaugural Americas Women Changing the World Awards, launching our new book Women Living Fearlessly, and we’ve just hosted our Trade Mission Welcome Dinner at a gorgeous restaurant right next to Times Square! Don’t be afraid to dream Big! 🗽✨❤️

I learned a lot during this webinar, and I know there is so much more to learn and practice, individually & collectively. My key take-aways: - #Neurodiversity- not everyone thinks and interacts with the world in the same way- some disabilities may not be as obvious as others, and everyone in the #recruitment process can benefit from understanding this when they work with candidates - The Social Model of #disability understands that in the right setting, a disability can actually be a STRENGTH! 💪 I love this. - Most importantly, I left this meeting touched by this rule of thumb: focus on Capability versus Disability - taking the time to figure out what someone is CAPABLE of! 🙌 Thank you Bev Weinberg, OTD & Donna Carroll for sharing your insights. & thank you to American Staffing Association & the Innov8tors for opening this up to the public. #inclusion #staffing #capabilities #neurodivergence
Next Wednesday, July 17, join the 2023 Women in Leadership scholarship winners (also known as the Innov8tors) for the next installment of their ongoing webinar series, “Disability Inclusion and Equitable Workforces.” Experts will share best practices on creating opportunities for people of all abilities and our role in building more equitable workforces and communities. Register now on our website and join us at 1 p.m. ET next Wednesday!
