I recently had the opportunity to attend the Black Empowerment Summit, presented by the National Diversity Council and Inspire’s Black Voices business resource group, and it was a space I didn’t realize I needed. Being in a room filled with others who share my experience was both empowering and reaffirming. As someone who has had the privilege of working at The Black Hair Experience—a space created by Black women, for Black women—I am constantly reminded of how important it is to show up as your whole self. As Natalie Rothman, Chief People Officer of Inspire Brands, said so beautifully: “When you can bring your whole self to work you are better." For much of my career, I've stood up for myself while keeping in mind that there are many Kaityre’s coming up behind me. But there were times when I wished others would stand up for me more. That’s why this summit felt like a breath of fresh air—a space where people are not only sharing these experiences but also leading the charge in the courageous work of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). Michael Baptiste, MHRM (He/Him/His), VP of DEI at Metro Atlanta Chamber also shared actionable steps for moving DEI work forward, and I’d love to share them with you: ? Listen & Uplift Voices (share valuable stories, create platforms) ? Support Inclusive Policies (ensure equal access to educations, healthcare etc.) ? Promote Mental Health & Wellbeing (support groups, counseling services) ? Build Allyship & Solidarity (for all marginalized groups, learn & unlearn) ? Support Educational Initiatives (intersectionality curriculum, educate next gen to be inclusive) This summit reminded me how vital it is for all of us to keep pushing for progress, not just for ourselves, but for the many who will follow. Let’s continue the work!
