The celebration of Juneteenth is not just a remembrance of an historical event.  It’s also an opportunity to remember the words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who said, “We are not makers of history. We are made BY history.”  Let us be mindful of our past, responsible for our present, and hopeful for our future as we explore the resilience and unwavering spirit of Black professionals throughout American history.  Join me and my guest Ms. Tish Norman to learn and know what you don’t know about Juneteenth.

The celebration of Juneteenth is not just a remembrance of a historical event, but it's also a testament to the resilience and unwavering spirit of Black professionals throughout American history. This resilience is encapsulated beautifully by Maya Angelou, who once said, “You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats, so you can know WHO you are, WHAT you can rise from, and HOW you can still come out of it.”  These are words of wisdom we can all live by.

Thank you for returning for Dr. Anita’s third conversation with Mr. Michael C. Bush, CEO of Great Place to Work as they help us get clear about who is everybody. For the past couple of years, using the word Diversity is being reframed as the “D” word. Diversity means a lot of things in addition to race, ethnicity, gender identity, and disability. Diversity also includes recognition of neuro-diversity and a host of other ways people present as their best selves. Let’s lean into the discomfort about the “D” word and talk about it.

Remembering the Significance of Being a Great Place to Work For AllShow Notes:  We find ourselves at a critical juncture, where the very foundation of diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in our corporate sphere is under siege.  So, what can we do in the face of this crisis? How can we reignite the flames of DEI in corporate America? One powerful avenue is through events like the Great Place to Work For All Summit.  This month we will enjoy the rebroadcast of my most popular Real Conversations from the C-Suite series with Mr. Michael Bush, CEO of Great Place to Work.

Thank you for returning for my third Real Conversation from the C-Suite with Ms. Debbie Nix, Easterseals Southern California’s Chief People Officer, and Dr. Crystal Leonard, supervisor, and assessor with Easterseals Autism Services.  Today, we will learn that the best way to be aware is to be a part of opportunities like neurodiversity training to the community through the Norton Simon Museum, Boys and Girls Clubs, Boy Scouts of America, and Easterseals Associate Affinity Groups.  As Dr. Beverlyn Mendez, the Chief Operating Officer of Easterseals Southern California once said as a guest on this podcast, “Nothing about us, without us.”  And the best way to stay informed is to be involved.
