As we honor Black History Month this year, we’ll focus on the importance of having ongoing conversations about racism and discuss practices that can create an inclusive and equitable work experience for Black professionals. We’ll reflect on the various manifestations of anti-Black racism in the workplace and ways to affirm Black voices and experiences. We’ll also explore the intricacies of resilience and what it means to have an expansive definition of wellness and health in the face of systemic barriers at work. By the end of the webinar, we’ll review actionable strategies to address the impact of racism and promote a supportive environment for our Black colleagues.
