Last month we celebrated black history month. A time to honor the achievements of so many Black leaders, creatives, and professionals.

We partnered with Women of Color Give! If you don’t yet know about their work to elevate and empower the BIPOC community, and provide a space for Women of Color to support the causes that matter most to them, we encourage you to visit their website at wocgive.org. 

Like so many of you, we’ve witnessed traumatic events across the country that continue to challenge us to reexamine our work and take bolder steps to build a more just, inclusive community. It’s been said that Black History Month is a time to “reflect on the shared experience of all Black Americans, whose lives have shaped, challenged, and ultimately strengthened America.” As we reflect, we also can use this time as an opportunity to recommit to a vision of a world without division or deprivation. For our part, we know our role begins with our values, and our commitment to welcoming, serving, and empowering all who call on us. To creating special places of belonging in our community, for those who need it most.
