Today we celebrate Juneteenth, a powerful reminder of freedom and resilience. Reflecting on this historic day, our CEO Darrell Byers shares his thoughts on the significance of #Juneteenth and the journey towards economic equity: “On Juneteenth, we celebrate not just the end of slavery but the ongoing journey towards true freedom and economic empowerment for all. This pivotal moment in history reminds us of the long road to justice and the importance of continuing the fight for equality. At Interise, we are committed to supporting minority-owned businesses and driving systemic change. Did you know that Black-owned businesses are three times more likely to be denied loans than their white counterparts? Economic disparities like this stem from historical inequities, and we believe in addressing them head-on. Together we can work on building a future of equality and opportunity. By empowering minority entrepreneurs, namely Black-owned businesses, we foster economic growth and resilience in underserved communities. Juneteenth is a powerful reminder that understanding the challenges Black-owned businesses face today requires looking back at our history. Together, we can pave the way for a more inclusive and equitable future, ensuring that freedom and opportunity are realities for everyone.” - Darrell Byers, CEO, Interise In honor of Juneteenth, join us in supporting the vital work of minority-owned businesses.

The goal has always been to make DEIB so adversarial and self-serving that it becomes expendable. The same strategies since time immemorial, we see it, we recognise and we shall point it out. Since DEIB is mostly hijacked with persons leading performative surface level changes lets in the words of Kendrick Lamar state “No you not a colleague, you a (redacted) colonizer”. Those words apply to more than rap beefs. Competence still continues to be linked to whiteness in the workplace, as research in Sweden shows significant discrimination against Black and Brown Swedes with PhDs. These individuals face greater difficulty getting employed and, once employed, are paid much less than their white counterparts. Organizations often implement superficial changes that placate rather than transform. As always White supremacy will shield itself from accountability and to probide Equity even in #DEIB.
