My parents. I tried to emulate my mother’s wisdom, love of knowledge, and the tenacity and my father’s boldness, oratory skills and his ability to tactfully speak truth to power. They’ve both impacted my life by modeling all that’s required to live a life based on faith, love, and service.
The idea that niceness would save me. However, no matter how nice, quiet, and composed I was when engaging in justice conversations, there were still individuals who misunderstood, criticized and opposed me. I learned that in advancing IDEA I cannot shrink or shapeshift who I am to accommodate others’ perceptions of me.
I think people can change if they’re humble. Letting go of long-held beliefs and behaviors is scary, vulnerable work. The growth, community, and integrity I’ve experienced after making those changes are worth every discomfort. Changing for the sake of justice and inclusion is worth it.
These past few years have been incredibly tumultuous and evolving, where we have witnessed how complex and messy our world is.
In a world of tick-a-box trainings and quick fixes, we at Be Equitable are going after something more satisfying -- we’re here for the transformations. For the forward thinkers and future leaders who know the journey is long and are still ready, we see you and we want to partner with you.
Let’s go beyond the buzzwords to create workplaces that work for people of all races, ethnicities, identities, and abilities. It won’t be neat. And it certainly won’t be simple. Our BE team is ready and committed to get it done.
As we enter this next chapter of our story, we invite you to BE bold, BE inclusive, and BE authentic to the vision you have for yourself and your organization. And together we can create workplaces that are just and equitable for all.
