Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery and countless others...gone but not forgotten.
My team and I stand in solidarity with peaceful protesters and everyone around the globe who dare to confront the systemic racism and further injustices that have plagued the black experience in America for far too long. While we denounce violence and the destruction of property, we understand the pain, grief, frustration, and loss of faith, by those who are looting, in both the system and its leaders. That is not their individual failure, it is ours collectively. To suggest otherwise is simply perpetuating the stereotypes that have created these conditions.
In the midst of my own pain, grief, and frustration, I remain hopeful and committed to working with business and community leaders to resolve issues of social and organizational injustice. The humanity in me values the humanity in you.
In Peace & Power,
Michele

An Antiracism Movement
Decade 4 Diversity was launched in January 2020 to help organizations and communities focus on confronting the issues and doing the work that is necessary to create substantive change around diversity and race relations.
Until we can have a truthful discussion about race and take subsequent action, we will continue to experience tragedy over triumph in this country.

Thanks to everyone who participated in the Summer 2020 book study groups.
"While I could have read White Fragility on my own and processed it independently, it was invaluable to be able to have these important conversations around white privilege with a group. I am so much more aware of the everyday racism that occurs in America and how I am a part of that system. Michele's facilitation was the perfect balance of pushing us out of our comfort zone without ever making us feel shame for our experiences. This was a really valuable experience for me both personally and professionally."
