.@usnews and @GBEF_ today announced a partnership to advance equity and economic opportunity. Read more. bit.ly/4cZgRwD
We stand with the LGBTQ+ community in Uganda and around the world and continue to demand justice, equality, and dignity for all. jurist.org/features/2024/…
Citing Dobbs is a reminder of two things: (1) an attack on one group is an attack on all; and (2) legal decisions issued by US courts that lack precedent and reason have global consequences. Human rights should never be used as a political tool.
Uganda’s Constitutional Court cited the U.S. Supreme Court’s reversal of Roe V. Wade in Dobbs as a rationale to enforce most of the nation’s draconian Anti-Homosexuality Act that criminalizes LGBTQ+ people.
BREAKING: Richelieu Dennis and I will be interviewed by @TheRevAl on April 10th at @NationalAction's 2024 Convention in a plenary session on the state of Black business and corporate equity.
To achieve equity, it must be global. The @starnews_mobile Business Competition in partnership with GBEF is open to entrepreneurs and innovators in Nigeria seeking to propel their businesses forward and leave a lasting impact on our future. Apply today: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

Equal Pay Day symbolizes how far into the year women must work to earn what men earned in the previous year. Black Women’s Equal Pay Day falls even later in the year, which underscores the distinct disparities faced by Black women in the workplace.
Coming up soon at SXSW!

It was an honor to speak at the 2024 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day Awards Breakfast, hosted by @TheRevAl and @NationalAction. We cannot let anti-equity extremists succeed. The Council for Economic Opportunity and Social Justice will continue to coordinate and fight back.
Today we celebrate Veterans Day and recognize those who serve. Far too often, Black Veterans aren’t recognized for their contributions to our country. Support Black Veterans every day. Check out the work by @BlackVetProject blackveteransproject.org
The EJS Center “will continue to empower & advance the next generation of women leaders in Africa,” stressed @MaEllenSirleaf as a new partnership was announced with the @GBEF_ at its 2023 Business Summit.
I was pleased to partner with @GBEF_ and am grateful for their generosity & shared commitment to advancing women's leadership. The future of #Africa depends on women being empowered to lead the way, including through programs like the #AmujaeInitiative. bit.ly/47eXXy5
