Why Organizations Still Get Black History Month Wrong

Black History Month is often recognized.

But not always understood.

And in many organizations, it becomes a moment of reflection without real change.

In this episode, I break down why Black History Month still matters today, especially in a time where equity work is being challenged, misunderstood, or pushed aside.

We’re not just talking about history.

We’re talking about what happens when organizations:
• acknowledge the past but avoid accountability
• want change but resist discomfort
• focus on intention instead of impact

Because the real barrier to change is not a lack of awareness.

It’s what we do, or don’t do, with it.

I also walk through the common barriers that keep organizations stuck, and what it actually takes to move from conversation to sustainable change.

If you’re serious about creating impact, not just recognition, this is where the work begins.
