I have always loved my eyes. They are honest beautiful brown eyes. Yet, beyond the beauty they present, I love how I see the world through these eyes. I believe in humanity and as a result, I see the beauty that humans possess.
My grandfather (papa) was the founding pastor of New Hope Baptist Church in Ann Arbor, MI. I aspired to be like him when I grew up. Not as a pastor, but as a great orator and lover of all people. Whenever I go before a mic, I ask myself how would papa show up in this moment? Although he is no longer alive, I carry a piece of him with me every single day.
The ingrained belief that a strong black woman is not supposed to need help. As a mom of a woman child, I struggle to dismantle and disrupt this way of thinking always. We are blessed to be on this earth with so many others; why should we limit the ways in which we connect, engage, and lean on people?
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.
