87 You Could Actually Move the DEI Needle Further Along by Hiring A Black Mentor

You are far ahead of the curve if you’re lucky to have authentic friendships with a Black person. I say that not to put you down in any way, but from experience, we will keep you honest and be 100% real with you, whether you like it or not.

I have always been that "safe Black person” that many white colleagues could come to and ask questions to help them better understand how to navigate the Black people on their teams. I answered their questions to help move them closer to understanding Black people, including me, a little better.


Well, tune in to this episode to hear about my white friend, Ellen’s, experience and to learn more about what having a Black person as a mentor could do for you in your organization.


See you inside…

What You Learn:

  • My friend Ellen’s experience and her uniqueness in being ahead of the curve
  • What having a Black person as a mentor could do for you in your organization
  • If you focus on your personal growth first, you will also understand the need for your leadership to grow
  • That it’s time to stop playing with people’s emotions and wasting company money
