Making History: 10 Black Women Leaders Inspire With Advice, Purpose, Action
At the intersection of the close of Black History Month and the start of Women’s History Month, Take The Lead salutes 10 Black women leaders across industries and influence. Diving into their contributions and
keen advice for leaders today, there is so much wisdom to glean that moves far past one month of the year. And into forever. Black History Month began in 1915 in this country, and was made into law in 1986. In spite of Google recently eliminating its visual salute to the month and the Department of Defense declaring it erased—as well as Women’s History Month and National Disability Employment Month—Take The Lead acknowledges the depth and breadth of Black women in business, entrepreneurship, education, media and all of American culture far past the calendar month of the year.
The Power To Have A No-Fluff Approach To Spirituality
By Tiffany Antoine
The first time I understood just how overwhelming spirituality is to people around me, I was taken back. For what is supposed to bring clarity and peace, it definitely felt shrouded or hidden behind complex processes, extensive
commitments, and expensive courses. I knew there had to be an easier way to approach it. To do just that, I created Meditating Human, integrating ancient spirituality concepts into the framework of real life. The idea is to make practices practical rather than shrouded in the rituals and other daunting practices of the past, making them more approachable and relevant to modern people and professionals.
On the third day of #womenshistorymonth, I’m reflecting on promises fulfilled and unfulfilled of the United Nations Fourth World Conference on Women. I attended it in Beijing in 1995.
If you were there, drop a comment below. I would love to know your thoughts and experiences.
I was in the room where it happened 30 years ago. Two rooms where it happened, actually.
The experience was life changing. World changing. But that was then.
