This is an awesome read and puts a lot of things into prospective! I wholeheartedly believe most employers do not have leadership in place that’s interested in cultivating talent, especially black talent. Often times, “talent development” items assigned by employers are just check the box activities. Tasked with meetings on top of meetings, leadership neglect the fact that there is a level of nurturing that needs to be provided in order to help professionals/employees grow. Moreover, an employee can only do but so much networking and personal self development activities to grow professionally. Therefore, there needs to be a shift in mentality to truly understand the necessary steps to deploy solutions for DEI issues.
