Looking forward to presenting at the Blacks in I/O Psychology 2nd Annual Conference in Baltimore, MD! During my session, we’ll explore the unique challenges Black men face in corporate settings—navigating systemic barriers, burnout, and exclusion. As a Black male consulting psychologist, I’ve both witnessed and researched how racial discrimination, microaggressions, and limited opportunities impact the mental wellness of Black professionals. Make sure you attend—I’ll share actionable tools for building inclusive, psychologically safe workplaces where Black professionals can truly thrive! #BIOP2025 #BlackMenInTheWorkplace #InclusiveWorkplace

The #BTSWithBIOP2025 series gives you a behind-the-scenes look at the process—and the brilliant minds driving it. ?? **Describe your experience as a #BIOP2025 volunteer in three words. “Collaborative, Relaxed, Impactful.” - Ricky Rivera ***What’s your favorite memory from #BIOP2024 “Dr. Reuben Faloughi's session where I learned about the Cycle of Liberation was unforgettable. From the clapping exercise at the beginning to the breakout discussions at the end – and Dr. Reuben pulling in one of my favorite Lauryn Hill songs Ex-Factor “it could all be so simple, but you’d rather make it haaarrdd!” - it is a fond memory. This memory is also a reminder of the kind of sessions we need at conferences and how I aspire to show up as a facilitator. This session, among others, was a catalyst for realizing I could play a larger role in supporting and advocating for my Black colleagues and their experiences. I'm eternally grateful for #BIOP2024 and stoked for #BIOP2025 in Baltimore!” - Brittney Calhoun, M.S. ***What quote keeps you motivated? Booker T. Washington: "Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to succeed" - Caraline Malloy Stay tuned for more #BTSWithBIOP2025 Updates!
