5 Key Strategies to Create a Safe Space for Young Black Professionals: https://lnkd.in/gUzeWJ-F #talentinfusion #sacespace #diversity #inclusion #DE&IB #beloning

The question of whether Black people have given up on #Diversity, #Equity, and #Inclusion (DEI) or are simply exhausted is a reflection of the relentless challenges faced in the struggle for equality. Despite widespread adoption of DEI initiatives, only 3% of Black professionals believe that their race is a significant factor in career advancement, according to a McKinsey report. This statistic underscores a pervasive sense of disillusionment. Exhaustion from continuous microaggressions, tokenism, and the emotional labor of advocating for change might not signify giving up, but rather a momentary retreat—a survival strategy in an ongoing battle. #DEIExhaustion #BlackVoicesMatter #LeadershipInclusion #EquityInTheWorkplace #BlackProfessionals #ExecutiveLeadership #DiversityFatigue #InclusionMatters #BlackLeadership #EquityOverTokenism
