Companies are going all out for #BlackHistoryMonth, and it’s…awkward. I wouldn’t be the first to say that in the current cultural context, watching Black History Month unfold in social media news feeds is a bit surreal.

Systemic racism is pervasive and in the corporate workplace, it’s a part of the furniture. How can you leverage this moment in time to get what is rightfully yours? I’m calling back…
*Sips Tea* ☕️ But what will @dallascowboys owner Jerry Jones do?
