“Are we actually building genuine structural allyship that is I might lose? So me as a man if they say there was an extra tax on being a man or after November the 19th. When women work for free compared to men and the gender pay gap, I get double tax for that month. I need to be willing to look at people and say yes, please put that in place. Because that is what equity is. That's not what equality is.” Akbar Karenga
Voices of Diversity host Rocki Howard speaks to guest Akbar Karenga who is head of talent for Storyblock and the founder of people operations consulting firm Maarusi.
Not only is he a tenured talent acquisition professional, but he is also a committed mentor.
Akbar talks about how and where business is done, brings to life the differences between equality and equity and shares his passion for gender parity as he talks to us today as the Voice of A Feminist Black Man.
