Today marks Black History Month (and this month marks 10 years since the "Black Lives Matter" movement began)!

So I'm curious: How does your company celebrate Black History Month? And if no official celebrations are in place, how do you bring forth the importance of the holiday in your day to day?

    I read a lot of what's being written about it in the media/newspapers I subscribe to, and share articles with my friends and colleagues too.

    We have black employee network and allies Zoom calls every Monday morning with different guests to talk about black experience, racism, and black history.

    Personally, I take Feb as a month to reflect and increase my awareness on how others have a different experience of life than I do and how I can elevate and initiate change. Me and White Supremacy is a great workbook that I highly recommend.

    Thanks Cassy. I would be curious to hear from everyone here whether they think their companies/employers have made changes since the Black Lives Matter movement started and particularly gained steam in the past couple years. I hope so but would like to hear what people have seen change.
