As we celebrate Black History Month, we recognize the indelible contributions of African Americans to labor rights and workplace justice. This year’s theme, African Americans and Labor, reminds us that the fight for dignity in work is far from over.

This year, let’s not only focus on individual growth but also set intentions that challenge inequities, honor our interconnectedness, and promote collective healing.

In the zeitgeist of the modern era, marred by hatred and regression, a resounding call for liberation cuts through the din, urging us to adopt a framework centered on love, creativity, joy, and mindfulness. These pivotal elements converge to guide us along a transformative path of empowerment and genuine freedom.
