a couple things to keep in mind as you move through this week: ☝🏾: “no comment” is, in fact, a comment. ✌🏾: when talking about Black people and Black culture, use a capital ‘B’ my friends. create the best week possible. #ProfessionalDevelopment #Leadership #WorkplaceCulture #SuccessionPlan #ThankYouMiller
2) we really need to talk about the ways using a lowercase ‘b’ is harmful and problematic, especially when you are not someone who identifies with said community.
Heavy on the capital B. Heavy. Real Heavy.
