Being Black in America means many things\, but one of the most prevalent issues is experiencing racism daily on multiple fronts. From standard microaggressions on up to direct confrontations\, the men who’ll be waiting on their haircuts at our barbershop have experienced it all. \nBlack Men in Leadership: From Conversation to Sustainable Action \nIn a climate where awareness around diversity\, equity\, and inclusion conversations has heightened\, Black men are still few and far between in high-level leadership positions. Further\, the limited number of Black males in leadership roles experience tremendous pressure characterized by fear\, anxiety\, and stress. Black males are often challenged with needing to comply with the cultural status quo and mask their authentic identities. \nAt this virtual barbershop\, Black male executives across the U.S. will examine and discuss their leadership journeys. To drive toward meaningful change\, we’ll uncover practical recommendations and strategies. During this conversation\, we’ll discuss: \n\nHow we can recognize the real experiences and challenges many Black men face in leadership positions\nThe factors that influence the professional journey of Black males to the C-suite\nHow best practices in diversity\, equity\, and inclusion can guide sustainable positive impact for Black men in leadership\n\nAbout the Virtual Barbershop \nThe barbershop is the one of the few safe places where Black men feel very comfortable in having candid conversations on just about anything. All over America\, the barbershop continues to serve as a second home and place of refuge\, healing\, and compassion for Black men. \nThis virtual space will feature several Black male executives from around the country\, sharing their experiences and recommendations for advancing anti-racist leadership and championing equity-focused action in human services organizations. Just like in any barbershop\, anyone is welcome to drop in at any time based on their availability and interest. \nCatch Up with the Barbers on Previous Visits \n\nLeading Positive Change amid Social and Political Unrest\nBlack Male Executives on COVID-19\nAddressing COVID-19 Disparities and the Vaccine Rollout\nBuilding Family Resilience by Supporting Black Fathers\nSupporting Black Students in the Classroom\n\nTakeaways\n\nHow dominant culture challenges Black males in leadership roles\nHow best practices in diversity\, equity\, and inclusion can guide sustainable positive impact for Black men in leadership\nStrategies that positively impact Black men currently in leadership roles and create pathways for additional Black men aspiring to leadership\n\nWho Should Participate\n\nExecutives\nDirectors\nProgram managers\nHuman resources staff\nBoard members\n\n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n\n\n \n \n \n The Barbers\n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Undraye P.
