SENT ON HEALF OF THE BLACK MEN’S CONSORTIUM®️

🛑In last night’s session we discussed how strict, ruthless and playful I was when working with the group members?

🛑 How do you manage your thoughts and feelings (and not get overwhelmed and stressed) and stay focused and calm when things around you get chaotic? What’s a stake during this process?

🛑 How does one take care of oneself and ensure that collaboration and support is the goal rather than only focusing on self?

🛑 How might an activity like this help to improve your mental health and wellbeing?

A Message to Black Men Navigating the Workplace:

The Hidden Gap!

If talent determined success in the workplace, Black men would not be earning less, progressing slower and leaving leadership in record numbers.

Across the UK and the United States, the data confirms what many Black men already live. Despite qualifications, experience and performance, Black men face persistent barriers in pay, promotion and opportunity.

Even when education and occupation are equal, Black men are still paid less, promoted more slowly and concentrated in lower-paying roles. Highly qualified Black graduates remain significantly less likely to receive job offers than their White peers, creating a career bottleneck from the very start.
