What better way to support Black Girls than to speak with them directly and ask what they need? The Black Girls Research report did exactly that. The National Coalition of 100 Black Women has partnered with Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc Zeta Omega Chapter which is marking its 100th year anniversary. They have compiled the lived experiences of Black girls across the state of Delaware and how they feel about their futures as Part of The Year of the Black Girl Campaign. I speak to Dr. Javette Lane, 100th Anniversary Committee Chair, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Incorporated, Zeta Omega Chapter and Melanie S. Daniels, President, National Coalition of 100 Black Women Incorporated, Delaware Chapter about the groundbreaking report and how it ties into Zeta Omega's 100th Anniversary.www.akazetaomega.orgwww.ncbwde.org https://youtu.be/aTRw0x3nxo0

According to an HR Policy Association survey in the Spring of 2021, covering nearly 400 HR leaders representing 11 million employees found that 85% said their organizations expanded inclusion activities and increased C-suite involvement in DE&I since George Floyd's murder. Seventy percent have started or expanded unconscious bias training, while more than half moved to disaggregate workforce data to provide a better picture of employee demographics. The survey also found DE&I was the main concern for HR leaders, ranking ahead of strategizing for a post-COVID culture.In this HRchat, we take a pulse of the state of HR and leadership and look at what has actually changed within organizations since the murder of George Floyd.Bill's guest this time is Erika Broadwater, President of the National Association of African Americans in Human Resources (NAAAHR) and EATA Manager/COE at Essity.Erika has nearly three decades of experience in Human Resources as Head of Talent Acquisition, Recruiting Manager, and Diversity &Inclusion Champion.
