Countless Black leaders, known and unknown by the masses, have paved the way for many of us.

Black History Month Speaker! As we approach Black History Month, I am not only excited to celebrate and appreciate the amazing things that blacks have done in the world, but I still have dates available in February and would love to serve as a keynote speaker for your Black History Month Program next month! With so many things to share about when it comes to the accomplishments, success, impact, and excellence of blacks in the world, I have four signature programs for Black History Month that have been very impactful for students and professionals in years past. Those four signature programs are as follows: The Power of Black Excellence! – 5 Lessons of Success That We Can Learn from Black Excellence That Will Enable Us All To Thrive, Succeed, and Make A Positive Impact In Our Community, Nation, and World! Speak Black Man! – 4 Career and Leadership Lessons of Success from A Successful Black Man In America! A Call to Action! – Igniting The ‘Leadership Greatness’ Within Emerging Black Leaders To Make A Positive Impact In Their Community, Nation, and World! You Matter! – 4 Self-Care/Wellness Strategies That Will Strengthen, Re-Energize, Motivate, and Protect Black Leaders from Becoming Burnt Out Doing The Good Work For Our Community! To learn more about my style as a speaker, you can watch the virtual presentation that I did a couple of years ago for Black History Month entitled, "I am Because We Are". https://lnkd.in/eTCQ42G6

This #BlackHistoryMonth, we’re celebrating exceptional Black leaders working to build a more equitable New York City. In our Black History Month Spotlight, we ask these leaders: “How does Black history and your own lived experience inform your work at your organization?” We begin our series by posing this question to our own Melissa A. Browne, Chief Development Officer at United Way of New York City. “Learning about Black history is one of my earliest memories,” Melissa says. “I was filled with stories centered on the incredible power and ingenuity of my people. My family, full of educators, were my inspiration, including an uncle who was a Black Panther, another who was a trailblazer as an openly gay Black man in the 60s, and my mother — a scientist who may literally know everything. Now, as a mother of a young Black son, the importance of fortifying the magic of Black history is even more important, especially in these fraught political times. One of the key reasons I joined United Way of New York City was its dedication to building and amplifying inclusive and diverse communities, which is reflected in the staff at UWNYC and how we break down barriers to success in Black neighborhoods. Too often nonprofits see their role as imparting knowledge or services. At UWNYC we know we can’t address these barriers without respecting and amplifying the voices in these communities.” #BlackLeaders #BlackLeadership
