Check out our new resource! As a new DEI-focused non-profit in Chicago, our commitment to this work is more important now than ever before.

Happy International Women’s Day! Important #IWD theme and reminder this year ??

Today marks #BlackHistoryMonth and we will NOT be silenced. We will celebrate, honor, uplift and give back because Black history will be forever part of OUR history, period. ??? These orders that promote erasure, discrimination, racism and anti-DEI propaganda will not stop us from doing what is right. We love this quote by Dinos Christianopoulos, a Greek poet. Our seeds will always grow and we must continue to fight back, stand up and remain loud. ???????????? #BHM

Ever wonder what it's like to attend the Call for Culture Impact Lab: the equity-centered conference for workplace culture and change leaders? We could tell you, but we'd rather have you hear from our community! We know that are lots of conferences to choose from in 2025, but this is the *one* “The true force behind Culture Impact Lab are the minds of human-centric leaders who come together for a greater purpose--to create equitable workplaces that empower people to grow. Being part of this community opens the door for direct access to data, research and applicable solutions that are critical for how we engage in real culture change. The intentionality of this space curates leaders who are creatively thinking about how we can make a difference with tangible, real, and community-based solutions. ” Jasmin Zamora (she/her), President & Founder at Sembra Chicago (Chicago, IL) Join us on May 14th and 15th in Chicago: https://lnkd.in/grx6zSbz #cultureimpactlab25 #greaterpurpose
