What if we had the audacity of white men? How would we move in our careers and what risks would we take?2) Creating Community and Identity: Kisha highlighted the importance of creating a supportive community in any space you choose to be in. Surrounding yourself with like-minded individuals who understand your journey can provide comfort and confidence in the identities you've taken on.3) Balancing Motherhood and Entrepreneurship: Kisha shared how being an entrepreneur has given her the flexibility to balance motherhood and work. The ability to own her time and make decisions that align with her family's needs has been a significant positive outcome of her transition.4) Fortifying Yourself as an Entrepreneur: Kisha emphasized the need to fortify oneself as an entrepreneur, especially in the face of challenges and uncertainties.

As a Black attorney, finding support through community can be critical in helping discover opportunities and find guidance in navigating the world as an underrepresented practitioner in the legal field. Today, that support can be found in the National Bar Association, the nation's oldest and largest network of Black American lawyers and judges, with a network of over 67,000 members.  On this episode of Dimensions of Diversity, host Lloyd Freeman is joined by two local affiliate presidents of the National Bar Association. The first guest is Kristin Johnson, President at the Barristers' Association of Philadelphia and a trial attorney with the U.S. Department of Labor. The Barristers' Association of Philadelphia works to address the professional needs and development of Black lawyers in the City of Philadelphia through programs such as seminars, cultural events and publications. Lloyd also welcomes Roger Johnson, President at the Virgil Hawkins Florida Chapter National Bar Association and an associate attorney at Hamilton, Miller, & Birthisel.   During their conversation, the trio discuss the career journey of a Black lawyer in America, what resources are available (and still needed) to support Black attorneys, and how individuals and organizations like the National Bar Association and others can get more Black children interested in the legal field.  Dimensions of Diversity is a podcast created by Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney, highlighting diversity in the workplace. Hosted by Lloyd Freeman, Chief Diversity & Inclusion Officer, the podcast features meaningful conversations with industry and community leaders working to advance D&I. 

"We present ourselves and our bodies every day in public, and the way we do that is profoundly important. It's the way we establish a sense of self in a social domain. And clothing is the most direct way that's accomplished, and so of course it has political significance, and that's why it's always been regulated. Something that's trivial and superficial doesn't inspire a lot of rules and laws, but in fact, in our society up to the present day, there are lots of rules and laws around what people can wear. So those statements that are made can have profound significance at an almost subconscious level.That's why people were worried when African Americans [started dressing] in refined clothing because it suggested - against the dominant ideology of the time of white supremacy - that African Americans were refined and sophisticated. That's what that clothing suggests. When women [began wearing] masculine clothing, it suggested that those women could assert masculine privileges and masculine liberties because that's what that clothing suggested. It suggested that the women were not only refined, but also sober, practical, industrious - all of the things that women were denied in that context, and that made it a threat to the existing social order. And this is still true today."Richard Thompson Ford is the George E. Osborne Professor of Law at Stanford Law School.

"One of the things that I've tried to do in my work is demonstrate the way that laws that don't seem to be directly related to social equality, to equality of opportunity, to racial justice in fact are and that it's only through also reforming these kind of systemic and institutionalized forms of discrimination that we could truly achieve an egalitarian society. So what I've really wanted to argue against is the idea that civil rights are kind of a magic bullet and that those kinds of laws alone would be sufficient to achieve.There are a lot of other reforms that would be useful in improving American policing. And certainly, there are biased attitudes on the part of some police officers, but again, I think the structural problems are even greater with respect to this. There's the problem of racial segregation in high-crime neighborhoods, which means that when police are using aggressive tactics in the neighborhoods with the highest levels of crime, the targets are disproportionately people of color. There's also the fact that in the United States, it's not true in most other countries, policing is decentralized. It's a local matter. And so there's a wide range of training and a wide range of different types of protocols."Richard Thompson Ford is the George E. Osborne Professor of Law at Stanford Law School.

One is that there's a great tradition of knowledge and intellectual endeavor and philosophy that the university has to offer, that our culture has to offer, that is important to master and that can guide one in the future, but at the same time, the older generation doesn't know everything. And often the older generation will belittle younger people. The contemporary example is that ‘they're snowflakes', that ‘they're engaged in cancel culture,' this kind of thing. And sometimes us older people are right in those criticisms, and sometimes we're not. And so trying to navigate that, to say, ‘Yes, I have something to learn from you, but also…' You know, each generation needs to sort these things out for themselves. And sometimes the younger generation has got it right, and we've got it wrong. Figuring out which is and which is the challenge."http://richardtford.law.stanford.eduwww.creativeprocess.infowww.oneplanetpodcast.org

Jade Turner Bond explains why her and her husband Elliott bought in HB and quickly realized they would prefer to live elsewhere. This discussion is hopeful, it's sad, it's digging deep into the reasons that Black people often feel uncomfortable in our hometown. I'm grateful that Jade was willing to have an honest conversation about where we are at with race issues in the town that we love. We cannot fix what we continue to ignore.

This is a continuation of a three-part series where Jade talks about her experiences in Huntington Beach and what she thinks about the current political climate. I was really moved by what she said about feeling empowered at this time and hopeful.

We wrapped up the last 15 minutes of our conversation chatting about the excitement we feel for our children's future, our hope and our shared dream.
