Today we celebrate Sojourner Truth, an American abolitionist and activist who led movements for civil rights for Black Americans, rights for women, and alcohol temperance. Sojourner Truth was born into slavery, escaped with her daughter, and won a court case to be reunited with her son. She also recruited Black soldiers to fight with the Union Army and fought unsuccessfully to have land grants given to formerly enslaved peoples after the Civil War. We honor her legacy by continuing to fight for equal opportunities for Black Americans and women. #SojournerTruth #CivilRights #Abolition #WomensRights

In the US, we have just completed a polarizing presidential race, and many in the DEI world are feeling unsure of what the next four years hold.

As clients ask for our guidance at this time, Michelle Bogan has written our latest blog post with some key points to focus on. The first one: DEI is not about politics.?DEI is about ensuring everyone has an equal opportunity to thrive and succeed.
