The more we listen to and learn from our friends, colleagues, and neighbors, the <a href="https://www.predictiveindex.com/company/">better our world becomes</a>. </p><p><strong>Where there are lived experiences, there is learning.</strong> When you speak up in a meeting, you challenge others to think critically and passionately. When you speak out in the face of injustice or ignorance, you challenge the status quo—and empower others to follow suit.</p><p>In February 2023, our Black ERG—affectionately named “Cousins”—decided to celebrate these moments. Each day, a member of our ERG (or one of our incredible allies) pulled from a treasure trove of shared experiences and extended that treasure to the rest of our PIoneers. From history lessons to music, food recipes to poetry, these “daily treasures” were meant to provoke thoughts, awareness, and—ultimately—action. </p><p>Today, we’re sharing it all with you: 21 daily BHM posts, each with its own treasure. We hope you enjoy them and, in doing so, discover some learnings of your own to take back to your organization and team.</p><p>Happy Black History—in February and always!</p><p><strong>Note:</strong> The below excerpts have been edited slightly for brevity and clarity.</p><hr class="wp-block-separator has-text-color has-silver-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-silver-background-color has-background is-style-wide"/><div style="height:20px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div><p>Need to get somewhere fast?

As a member and co-lead of the Cousins ERG, I am super excited to be kicking off day one with y’all.</p><p>Now, we are all probably familiar with February being Black History month, but my question for you is: <em>Do you know why?!</em> I can admit—I had no idea until I read <a href="https://www.npr.org/2022/02/01/1075623826/why-is-february-black-history-month" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">this article</a>, which shares the background and history of the <a href="https://asalh.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Association for the Study of American Life and History</a> and the “father of Black History,” Carter G. Woodson.</p><p><strong>The TL;DR is that</strong> Black History Month originally started as a week to educate and celebrate Black history in public schools. February was chosen as a way to honor both Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass, whose birthdays fall during the second week of February and who are each credited for influencing the emancipation of the slaves and fighting to end slavery.</p><p>Another “treasure” I was not aware of is the fact that there is a <a href="https://asalh.org/black-history-themes/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">new theme</a> each year for Black History Month. The theme for 2023 is <strong>Black Resistance</strong>. If you’re anything like me, the word “resistance” tends to bring up negative connotations. So I decided to type the word “resistance” into Google. I quickly noticed that the initial definition says: “the refusal to accept or comply with something.”</p><p>For me, the Black Resistance theme represents my refusal to accept or comply with the status quo of how things have been done. As a Black woman, I am empowered by the ability to work in an organization that prides itself on fostering a culture where everyone can have a place where they feel they are included and belong. </p><p>I encourage all of us to consider what your resistance will look like in 2023 as we roll out our Year of the User (Y.O.U.) and create real change at work.</p></div></div></div></section><section class="content-block"><div class="block-container"><div class="wp-block-group my-5 px-md-5 mx-md-5"><div class="wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow"><h2 id="treasure-2-feb-2-the-1619-project" class="wp-block-heading">Treasure #2 (Feb 2): <em>The 1619 Project</em></h2><p>Shared by Charkie Quarcoo (she/her), Program Manager of <a href="https://www.predictiveindex.com/company/change-at-work/">Change@Work</a>:</p><p>We’re back for day two of Black History Month and I’m delighted to share our next daily treasure: the recently released <strong>Hulu docuseries</strong> <a href="https://www.hulu.com/series/the-1619-project-7ba3407a-299c-4a10-8310-bbcdd6ab4653" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><em>The 1619 Project</em></a>. It debuted on January 26 as an expansion of the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/08/14/magazine/1619-america-slavery.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New York Times’s</a> <em>The 1619 Project</em>, launched in August 2019.</p><p><strong>TL;DR:</strong> The docuseries’ objective is to “reframe the country’s history by placing the consequences of slavery and the contributions of Black Americans at the very center of our national narrative” <em>(The 1619 Project, The New York Times, August 14, 2019).</em> The first episode provides factual evidence of how Black History is a foundational part of American History, and that Black resistance has been a model for other protests throughout this nation’s history.</p><p>In a first-hand account by Macarthur Cotton, a nonviolent student protester in the 1960s, Cotton described being beaten and hung while incarcerated on death row after being arrested for attempting to register to vote. The root of his strength was his commitment to <strong>resistance</strong>. For change to come, Cotton couldn’t fear the consequences of his resistance and was fully aware of the personal sacrifice he and others were making.</p><p>In the 2013 Shelby County v. Holder case, the Supreme Court stripped key protections within the Voting Act of 1965, noting that the country no longer faced the same racism that would require protection by law. The documentary cuts to the present day and the 40+ state restrictive voting laws that have been passed since 2021. I was heartbroken by the accounts of voter suppression that some elderly and disabled blacks experienced in Atlanta during the recent 2022 midterms. Seems fitting to me that the 2023 theme of the year is <strong>RESISTANCE</strong>.</p><p>For me, I’ll exercise resistance in my steadfast commitment to inclusivity as our central driver for decision-making, ensuring ALL voices and perspectives are consulted. After all, the basis for inclusive and equitable environments is the creation of policies and systems that serve the best interest of EVERY PERSON.</p></div></div></div></section></div></div></div></section><section data-wpr-lazyrender="1" id="cta-block_559af24db0b72bf4196399aa1ef54ee0" data-block_559af24db0b72bf4196399aa1ef54ee0

She’s taught and lectured at some of the nation’s most prestigious universities, including Yale, Princeton, UC Berkeley, and Harvard.</p><p>Of course, when you consider the places in academia where she’s taught, you’d say, “That woman is accomplished!” And yet, she had one dream that had not been achieved in her 60 years of playwriting and lecturing until last December when her play, <em>The Ohio State Murders</em>, debuted on Broadway. (Speaking of Black excellence, her play was the first production to be held in the newly restored James Earl Jones Theater!)</p><p>Sadly, the play announced on January 5 that it was ending its Broadway run on January 15. But I was lucky to see it during its final weekend with my family!</p><p>I won’t speak too much about the play and instead will let you read the words of Gloria Oladipo from The Guardian as she shares

class="wp-block-heading">Treasure #7 (Feb 9): The legacy of Black lacrosse</h2><p>Shared by Jonathan Milien:</p><p>Hi PIoneers! It’s day nine of BHM, and I’m excited to share my treasure with y’all.</p><p>I was nine years old when I picked up my first lacrosse stick. The game of lacrosse has taught me so much about myself and has had a huge impact on my life. Growing up, lacrosse was seen as a predominantly “white” sport and I was often the only Black player on the teams I played on. I remember sometimes thinking that my brothers and I had to be the only Black people in the world playing lacrosse. As I grew with the game and dove into the history of lacrosse in America, I came to find out that there were many that came before me.</p><p>On March 8, 1975, the <a href="https://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/college/lacrosse/bs-sp-lacrosse-morgan-state-20181015-story.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Morgan State Bears</a> put the college lacrosse world on notice by upsetting the number-one ranked team, Washington & Lee. It was unprecedented that the ONLY lacrosse team from an HBCU was able to pull off such a win. The Morgan State Bears went on to have a successful 10-4 season, and—most importantly—they cemented their legacy in the sport and in Black history.</p><p>Not only did this team lack the resources afforded to its white counterparts, but some players even had to share sticks and equipment. The team also had to deal with racism on and off the field from opposing teams and fans. Through it all, they still managed to be successful despite the adversity and paved the way for other Black lacrosse players.</p><p>You can see the direct impact in today’s game as some of the sport’s biggest players are Black: <a href="https://premierlacrosseleague.com/player/kyle-harrison" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kyle Harrison</a>, <a href="https://premierlacrosseleague.com/player/myles-jones" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Myles Jones</a>, <a href="https://premierlacrosseleague.com/player/trevor-baptiste" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Trevor Baptiste</a>, and <a href="https://premierlacrosseleague.com/player/nakeie-montgomery" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Nakeie Mongomery</a>, just to name a few. Although it’s not perfect, the game is becoming increasingly more inclusive. I’m proud to honor the men of the 1975 Morgan State lacrosse team for Black History Month and their contribution to growing the sport of lacrosse.</p></div></div></div></section><section class="content-block"><div class="block-container"><div class="wp-block-group my-5 px-md-5 mx-md-5"><div class="wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow"><h2 id="treasure-8-feb-10-celebrating-black-women-in-tech" class="wp-block-heading">Treasure #8 (Feb 10): Celebrating Black women in tech</h2><p>Shared by Clare Eisentrout (she/her), a Software Engineer and Co-Lead of PI’s Women-in-Tech ERG:</p><h3 id="what-is-international-day-of-women-girls-in-science" class="wp-block-heading">What is International Day of Women & Girls in Science?</h3><p>“Tomorrow is <a href="https://www.un.org/en/observances/women-and-girls-in-science-day" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">International Day of Women and Girls in Science</a>, a day to recognize and celebrate the critical role women and girls play in science and technology.

For those of you who don’t know, I was born and raised in South Carolina, spending most of my childhood in Charleston. So I HAD to share one of my favorite dishes: <strong>shrimp and grits</strong>.</p><p>This recipe comes courtesy of James Beard award-winning author <a href="https://tonitiptonmartin.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Toni Tipton-Martin</a>, Editor-in-Chief of <a href="https://www.americastestkitchen.com/cookscountry/magazines" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cook’s Country Magazine</a> with America’s Test Kitchen.

This shrimp and grits recipe is just the beginning!</p><h3 id="the-history-of-shrimp-and-grits" class="wp-block-heading" id="h-the-history-of-shrimp-and-grits">The history of shrimp and grits</h3><p>Grits were introduced to European colonizers by the Native American Muscogee Nation in the 16th century, although there is evidence that milled corn (then commonly referred to as hominy) itself is far older. This became a common source of nourishment in the South as colonization continued and African enslavement began in the Americas.</p><p>There are known writings from the Gullah-Geechee peoples, descendants of enslaved Africans residing in the coastal plains and islands of Georgia, Florida, and the Carolinas, recalling meals resembling shrimp and grits. It’s speculated that those living near the coastal waters and tide creeks would catch shellfish to include in their meals, including grits.</p><p>As time passed, the popularity of the dish grew. It became known by many names: smuttered shrimp, shrimp gravy, or breakfast shrimp, depending on the region. Regardless of the name, the concept of shrimp and grits continued to grow in popularity, and today it’s practically a requirement on any Southern or soul food restaurant’s menu.</p><p>This dish makes for a filling, luxurious breakfast, lunch, or dinner, so I hope you try to make it (and many of the other dishes from this amazing cookbook)!</p><h3 id="the-recipe-courtesy-of-toni-tipton-martin" class="wp-block-heading" id="h-the-recipe-courtesy-of-toni-tipton-martin">The recipe (courtesy of Toni Tipton-Martin)</h3><section class="accordion md-accordion accordion alignwide" id="accordion-block_b75b1fa78b3c8ee0c45d08a5f4573ba8" data-block_b75b1fa78b3c8ee0c45d08a5f4573ba8 role="tablist" aria-multiselectable="true"><div><div class="card mb-1"><div class="card-header p-0" role="tab" id="accordion-accordion-block_b75b1fa78b3c8ee0c45d08a5f4573ba8-1-heading"> <button class="card card-shadow p-3 m-1 mb-2 collapsed" data-toggle="collapse" data-parent="#accordion-block_b75b1fa78b3c8ee0c45d08a5f4573ba8" data-target="#accordion-accordion-block_b75b1fa78b3c8ee0c45d08a5f4573ba8-1" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="accordion-accordion-block_b75b1fa78b3c8ee0c45d08a5f4573ba8-1"><h5 class="mb-0 light"><i class="mr-2 fas fa-chevron-circle-right "></i> Ingredients:</h5> </button></div><div id="accordion-accordion-block_b75b1fa78b3c8ee0c45d08a5f4573ba8-1" class="collapse " role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="accordion-accordion-block_b75b1fa78b3c8ee0c45d08a5f4573ba8-1-heading" data-parent="#accordion-block_b75b1fa78b3c8ee0c45d08a5f4573ba8"><div class="card-body px-2 pb-0 accordion-description light"><p></p><p><em>For this recipe, which serves four people, you’ll need the following:</em></p><ul><li><em>1 ¼ cups Chicken Stock</em></li><li><em>1 + ½ teaspoons of salt, plus more to taste</em></li><li><em>1 cup of grits</em></li><li><em>2 tablespoons of butter</em></li><li><em>6 tablespoons of half-and-half</em></li><li><em>½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese (or cheese of your choice)</em></li><li><em>¼ teaspoon white pepper</em></li><li><em>5 slices of bacon, diced</em></li><li><em>¼ cup all-purpose flour</em></li><li><em>1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined</em></li><li><em>½ cup chopped green onions</em></li><li><em>¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes</em></li><li><em>1 garlic clove, minced</em></li><li><em>1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice</em></li><li><em>1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley</em></li></ul><p></p><p></p><p></p></div></div></div><div class="card mb-1"><div class="card-header p-0" role="tab" id="accordion-accordion-block_b75b1fa78b3c8ee0c45d08a5f4573ba8-2-heading"> <button class="card card-shadow p-3 m-1 mb-2 collapsed" data-toggle="collapse" data-parent="#accordion-block_b75b1fa78b3c8ee0c45d08a5f4573ba8" data-target="#accordion-accordion-block_b75b1fa78b3c8ee0c45d08a5f4573ba8-2" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="accordion-accordion-block_b75b1fa78b3c8ee0c45d08a5f4573ba8-2"><h5 class="mb-0 light"><i class="mr-2 fas fa-chevron-circle-right "></i> Cooking Instructions:</h5> </button></div><div id="accordion-accordion-block_b75b1fa78b3c8ee0c45d08a5f4573ba8-2" class="collapse " role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="accordion-accordion-block_b75b1fa78b3c8ee0c45d08a5f4573ba8-2-heading" data-parent="#accordion-block_b75b1fa78b3c8ee0c45d08a5f4573ba8"><div class="card-body px-2 pb-0 accordion-description light"><p></p><ol><li><em>In a large saucepan, bring 3 ½ cups of water, 1 cup of our chicken stock, and ½ teaspoon of the salt to a boil.

Three students were killed and twenty-eight were injured. Virtually all of the young men were hit in the back by shotgun pellets and bullets. The shootings were the culmination of lengthy protests against the vestiges of segregation and the persistence of racial discrimination in Orangeburg, especially the ‘white only’ policy of the All-Star Bowling Lanes.</em></p><p><em>This […] became known locally and across South Carolina as the Orangeburg Massacre […]</em></p><p><em>While racial divisions have certainly not been eliminated, they have been reduced as a measure of reconciliation has taken place.

about one of my role models growing up: <a href="https://www.biography.com/political-figures/kofi-annan" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Kofi Annan</strong></a>, the 7th Secretary-General of the United Nations (1997–2006).</p><p>As a native of Ghana (like my dad), Kofi Annan’s career trajectory at the U.N. and his relentless advocacy for human rights and peacekeeping inspired me. A quick fun fact: I first learned of him after people constantly mistook my dad for him. Like my dad, Kofi Annan immigrated to a cold place after leaving Ghana. He received his undergraduate degree in economics at Macalester College in St. Paul, Minnesota—brr! 🥶—before gaining his Master of Science at MIT Sloan.</p><p>Annan had a 40+ year career at the U.N., starting in 1962 as an administrative and budget officer with the WHO (World Health Organization). As Secretary-General, Kofi Annan challenged the status quo, led an extensive reform of the United Nations’ operations to improve its effectiveness, and elevated the U.N.’s public image by creating strong ties between civil society, the private sector, and other influential partners.</p><p>During his tenure, he was integral to several diplomatic and peacekeeping initiatives. Below are some highlights from his time as Secretary-General:</p><ul class="wp-block-list"><li>Awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace (jointly with the U.N.) in 2001</li><li>Created the Global Fund to fight AIDS, Malaria, and Tuberculosis in 2002</li><li>Established the U.N.’s first counter-terrorism strategy in 2006</li><li>His Global Compact initiative, launched in 1999, became the world’s biggest effort to encourage Corporate Social Responsibility</li><li>Facilitated Nigeria’s transition to civilian rule in 1999</li><li>Helped Timor-Leste gain independence from Indonesia in 2002</li><li>Led the certification of Israeli troops’ withdrawal from Lebanon in 2000</li><li>Contributed to the end of hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah in 2006</li></ul><p><a href="https://www.un.org/sg/en/formersg/koffi.shtml" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kofi Annan</a> passed away in 2018 at the age of 80, however, his impact is undeniable as he received numerous awards and international prizes.</p></div></div></div></section><section class="content-block"><div class="block-container"><div class="wp-block-group my-5 px-md-5 mx-md-5"><div class="wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow"><h2 id="treasure-14-feb-17-a-culturally-rich-haitian-dish" class="wp-block-heading">Treasure #14 (Feb 17): A culturally rich Haitian dish</h2><p>Shared by Tamara Wilmart (she/her), our Accounting Manager:</p><p>Thank you for joining me for day 17 of BHM! I will be sharing a personal favorite Black culture recipe on this edition of Foodie Friday.</p><p>If someone were to ask me what my favorite Haitian dish is, one of the top two answers would definitely be <strong>soup joumou</strong>. What is that you ask? Haitian squash soup! I love this dish sooo much because it is delicious, rich, hearty yet light, healthy-ish (all soups are healthy, right?), and has great cultural significance.</p><h3 id="what-is-soup-joumou" class="wp-block-heading">What is soup joumou?</h3><p>Soup joumou is a visually sumptuous dish comprised of the warm ochre tones of pureed squash as a base, to which one combines an assortment of stew meat, potatoes, carrots, shredded cabbage, leeks, malanga, turnips, and a handful of spaghetti or large-cut macaroni for added texture. </p><p>It is further made to taste with some preparers adding ginger, bell peppers, fresh sage, rosemary, parsley, culantro (not to be confused with cilantro), etc. It can be enjoyed with a loaf of crusty bread, or—my favorite—a slice of avocado on top.</p><h3 id="the-history-of-soup-joumou" class="wp-block-heading">The history of soup joumou</h3><p>In addition to its visual appeal, this dish also holds a lot of significance for Haitians because it is a symbol of Haiti’s Independence Day. It commemorates Haiti’s liberation from French colonial rule on January 1, 1804. </p><p>During slavery, only French colonial masters and plantation owners were allowed to enjoy the delicacy, which was prepared by enslaved Haitians. On their Independence Day, newly freed Haitians claimed the dish for themselves as a symbol of their victory. Ever since then, the dish has woven itself into the cultural fabric of Haiti and its diaspora.</p><h3 id="celebrating-soup-joumou" class="wp-block-heading">Celebrating soup joumou</h3><p>Soup joumou holds particular meaning for me and my family. I remember my mom and all the aunties, gathering together in the kitchen on New Year’s Eve, to begin preparations for the soup, complete with laughter and much loud talking. The New Year is ushered in, and we spend the day celebrating, enjoying multiple bowls of soup throughout the day, traveling to visit family and friends to share the soup with them, and/or receiving guests doing the same. </p><p>Soup joumou is greater than the sum of its parts. It is a beautiful dish that symbolizes independence and community. It can be enjoyed year-round, so be sure to drop in on your local Haitian restaurant or bakery, usually on a Saturday or Sunday morning, to enjoy yourself a bowl.</p><p>I’ll leave you with an authentic soup joumou recipe from <a href="https://www.savorythoughts.com/soup-joumou-haitian-squash-soup/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">this wonderful blog</a>. Feast your eyes on the pictures—’cause it’s the colors for me.

Literally, it was harder than trying to score Beyoncé’s Renaissance Tour tickets. </p><p>That said, when my husband, myself, and some of our best friends went in April 2017, it was by far one of the most enlightening and moving experiences I have ever had in a museum outside of visiting the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum (equally as moving). </p><p>This was the first time I spent more than seven hours walking through exhibits being left feeling as though I still needed more time. Another great thing about the museum is that there’s a delicious restaurant located in the basement with a variety of food represented from Black culture.</p><p>Now, I know our PIoneers live all over the country, so for those who may not have an opportunity to get to D.C. anytime soon, no worries—you’re in luck! There’s a “<a href="https://nmaahc.si.edu/learn/digital-learning/north-star" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Virtual Tour</a>” option with lots of cool digital learning experiences from the exhibits.

I love everything about the art form—from the bellyaching laughs to the thought-provoking points. Growing up, I was drawn to legendary Black comedians such as Eddie Murphy, Bernie Mac, Dave Chappelle, and the number of hilarious comedians that performed on BET’s Comic View.</p><p>A year ago, I watched a fantastic docuseries, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Phat-Tuesdays-Era-Comedy-Season/dp/B09QNWGQYV" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong><em>Phat Tuesdays: The Era of Hip Hop Comedy</em></strong></a>. It highlights how the comedian <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_Torry" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Guy Tory</a> started the most famous Black comedy night in the ‘90s at the world-famous <a href="https://thecomedystore.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Comedy Store</a> in Hollywood, CA. At that time, The Comedy Store had very few Black comedians as “mainstream” acts. The <a href="https://www.laweekly.com/the-godfather-of-l-a-s-black-comedy-scene-michael-williams-is-plotting-his-comeback/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Comedy Act Theater</a> was the only successful comedy club in L.A. that catered to Black comedians and audiences. </p><p>Unfortunately, after the L.A. riots in 1992, which started after a jury acquitted four officers of the Los Angeles Police Department charged with using excessive force in the arrest and beating of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rodney_King" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rodney King</a>, the comedy club closed its doors, leaving a void for Black comics to perfect their craft or gain notoriety. That is, until Guy Tory Pitched the idea of “Phat Tuesdays” to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitzi_Shore" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mitzi shore</a>.</p><p>The creation of Phat Tuesdays launched the careers of some of the world’s biggest comedians such as Steve Harvey, Martin Lawrence, Tiffany Haddish, Chris Tucker, and many more! It legitimized the Black comedy scene in L.A. One of the most fascinating facts is that without the overwhelming success of Phat Tuesdays, the Comedy Store was at risk of being shut down. </p><p>If you are a comedy fan like me, I recommend you watch this for a great laugh and a learning opportunity!</p></div></div></div></section><section class="content-block"><div class="block-container"><div class="wp-block-group"><div class="wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow"><h2 id="on-the-same-topic" class="wp-block-heading has-black-color has-text-color has-large-font-size" id="h-on-the-same-topic-4">On the same topic:</h2></div></div></div></section><section id="pillar-content-block_373cd5be8d36e8a74a42787c9c13104c" data-block_373cd5be8d36e8a74a42787c9c13104c class=" py-4 content-block featured-pillar featured-content pillar-content alignwide"><div class="container"><div class="row"><div class="col-md-6 mb-5 onlyOne"><div class="card card-shadow featured-card cards h-100 post"><div class="img-wrapper lazyload" style="" data-back="https://media.predictiveindex.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/30093326/iwd10-1280x720.jpg" data-back-webp="https://media.predictiveindex.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/30093326/iwd10-1280x720.jpg.webp"> <img decoding="async" width="900" height="506" src="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAA4QAAAH6AQAAAAB3gr8OAAAAAnRSTlMAAHaTzTgAAABPSURBVHja7cExAQAAAMKg9U9tDQ+gAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIBHA+FUAAGLTJDyAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC" class="rounded d-block d-md-none wp-post-image lazyload ewww_webp_lazy_load" alt="PI employees sitting in on a team meeting" data-src="https://media.predictiveindex.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/30093326/iwd10-900x506.jpg" data-srcset="https://media.predictiveindex.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/30093326/iwd10-900x506.jpg 900w, https://media.predictiveindex.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/30093326/iwd10-1280x720.jpg 1280w, https://media.predictiveindex.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/30093326/iwd10-400x225.jpg 400w" data-sizes="auto" data-eio-rwidth="900" data-eio-rheight="506" data-src-webp="https://media.predictiveindex.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/30093326/iwd10-900x506.jpg.webp" data-srcset-webp="https://media.predictiveindex.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/30093326/iwd10-900x506.jpg.webp 900w, https://media.predictiveindex.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/30093326/iwd10-1280x720.jpg.webp 1280w, https://media.predictiveindex.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/30093326/iwd10-400x225.jpg.webp 400w"><noscript><img decoding="async" width="900" height="506" src="https://media.predictiveindex.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/30093326/iwd10-900x506.jpg" class="rounded d-block d-md-none wp-post-image" alt="PI employees sitting in on a team meeting" srcset="https://media.predictiveindex.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/30093326/iwd10-900x506.jpg 900w, https://media.predictiveindex.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/30093326/iwd10-1280x720.jpg 1280w, https://media.predictiveindex.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/30093326/iwd10-400x225.jpg 400w" sizes="(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px" data-eio="l"></noscript></div><div class="card-body"> <a class="taxonomy" href="https://www.predictiveindex.com/category/diversity-inclusion/">Diversity & Inclusion</a><h4 class="entry-title">Recruiters: Hire not just for diversity, but also inclusion.</h4><p>Workplace equality can’t be achieved unless everyone feels valued.

As we enter the final week of February, I’m thrilled to bring you my own “daily treasure.”</p><p>As many of you know, writing’s kind of my job here. So, when given the opportunity to write about Black History Month as part of the Cousins community, I jumped at the chance! And what better way to describe my Black experience than by writing about, well… writing. </p><p>For Day 22 of BHM, I’m celebrating Black poetry. </p><p><a href="https://www.africanamericanpoetry.org/explore" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The history of Black poetry</a> in the U.S. spans centuries, dating back to the very inception of this country. The first known published Black poet was <a href="https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poets/jupiter-hammon" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jupiter Hammon</a>, a slave born in 1711 in Long Island, New York. In 1778, <a href="https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poets/phillis-wheatley" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Phillis Wheatley</a>, a young girl named after the slave ship that brought her to Boston, became the first Black female poet to be published.</p><p>The poems of Hammon and Wheatley were heavily spiritual, focusing on God and the promise of salvation. In a series of poems Hammon addressed to Wheatley, he wrote:</p><p><em>“The humble soul shall fly to God,</em><br><em>And leave the things of time,</em><br><em>Start forth as ’twere at the first word,</em><br><em>To taste things more divine.”</em></p><p>What I find particularly telling is that, early on in the history of our country, Black poetry was deeply rooted in faith—the idea of waiting for something better beyond life. Fast-forward not even a century, though, and that sentiment starts to shift dramatically.</p><p>Look no further than <a href="https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poets/george-moses-horton" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">George Moses Horton</a>, born into slavery in 1798 in North Carolina. Despite not knowing how to read, Horton wrote poems by reading them aloud, and would even sell them at farmers markets and to students at the University of North Carolina. He was one of the first to publicly condemn slavery through his poetry. In “On Liberty and Slavery,” he wrote:</p><p><em>“Come Liberty, thou cheerful sound,</em><br><em>Roll through my ravished ears!</em><br><em>Come, let my grief in joys be drowned,</em><br><em>And drive away my fears.”</em></p><p>Thus, the seed of <strong>resistance</strong> was born! </p><p>There are countless Black poets who have carried that resistance through their words. Here are some notable examples:</p><section class="accordion md-accordion accordion alignwide" id="accordion-block_2778a1cd10de3c98329af3251a1a8c34" data-block_2778a1cd10de3c98329af3251a1a8c34 role="tablist" aria-multiselectable="true"><div><div class="card mb-1"><div class="card-header p-0" role="tab" id="accordion-accordion-block_2778a1cd10de3c98329af3251a1a8c34-1-heading"> <button class="card card-shadow p-3 m-1 mb-2 collapsed" data-toggle="collapse" data-parent="#accordion-block_2778a1cd10de3c98329af3251a1a8c34" data-target="#accordion-accordion-block_2778a1cd10de3c98329af3251a1a8c34-1" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="accordion-accordion-block_2778a1cd10de3c98329af3251a1a8c34-1"><h5 class="mb-0 light"><i class="mr-2 fas fa-chevron-circle-right "></i> James Monroe Whitfield</h5> </button></div><div id="accordion-accordion-block_2778a1cd10de3c98329af3251a1a8c34-1" class="collapse " role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="accordion-accordion-block_2778a1cd10de3c98329af3251a1a8c34-1-heading" data-parent="#accordion-block_2778a1cd10de3c98329af3251a1a8c34"><div class="card-body px-2 pb-0 accordion-description light"><p><strong><a href="https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poets/james-monroe-whitfield" target="_blank" rel="noopener">James Monroe Whitfield</a></strong> was one of the first post-abolition Black poets.

The culture changes—from region to region, according to where one is among the diaspora, from the intersections of Blackness with other marginalized identities, and more. We see that prominently in the history of house music.</p><h3 id="the-history-of-house-music" class="wp-block-heading">The history of house music</h3><p>House music first appeared in Chicago. According to <em>The Dance Music Manual: Tools, Toys, and Techniques</em> by Rick Snoman, house music was named after the <a href="https://www.musicorigins.org/item/the-warehouse-the-place-where-house-music-got-its-name/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Warehouse club</a> and was popularized by the club’s resident DJ, Frankie Knuckles. Patrons of the club were primarily members of the Black LGBT community, who would go to Warehouse and clubs like it to dance to incredible mixes provided by DJs like the aforementioned Knuckles & Jesse Saunders, as well as other Chicago House pioneers like Joe Smooth, Phuture, and many more.</p><p>From Chicago, house music spread to New York City and quickly became a staple of clubs there, where Black and Latinx LGBT folks would congregate in spaces for fun and safety from general anti-queer bigotry and regular police raids. Venues like Paradise Garage (where the more soulful R&B-derived sub-genre of house called <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYfG8tcEl3E" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">garage house</a> was minted) and Stonewall (of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stonewall_riots" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">historical fame</a>) were centers for the evolution of house. These venues provided the avenue for house to springboard onto the international stage, where it has become one of America’s most widely exported music genres (another being hip-hop).</p><p>Now, I’m no music historian, but I hope this brief history of house gives some insight into the diversity of the Black experience and the massive impact it has had on the diversity that exists within American culture today.</p></div></div></div></section><section class="content-block"><div class="block-container"><div class="wp-block-group"><div class="wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow"><h2 id="on-the-same-topic" class="wp-block-heading has-black-color has-text-color has-large-font-size" id="h-on-the-same-topic-5">On the same topic:</h2></div></div></div></section><section id="pillar-content-block_6a04249bdc309c4225d7c40be0da0cd1" data-block_6a04249bdc309c4225d7c40be0da0cd1 class=" py-4 content-block featured-pillar featured-content pillar-content alignwide"><div class="container"><div class="row"><div class="col-md-6 mb-5 onlyOne"><div class="card card-shadow featured-card cards h-100 post"><div class="img-wrapper lazyload" style="" data-back="https://media.predictiveindex.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/30115405/BLM.png" data-back-webp="https://media.predictiveindex.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/30115405/BLM.png.webp"> <img decoding="async" width="900" height="506" src="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAA4QAAAH6AQAAAAB3gr8OAAAAAnRSTlMAAHaTzTgAAABPSURBVHja7cExAQAAAMKg9U9tDQ+gAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIBHA+FUAAGLTJDyAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC" class="rounded d-block d-md-none wp-post-image lazyload ewww_webp_lazy_load" alt="" data-src="https://media.predictiveindex.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/30115405/BLM-900x506.png" data-srcset="https://media.predictiveindex.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/30115405/BLM-900x506.png 900w, https://media.predictiveindex.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/30115405/BLM-400x225.png 400w" data-sizes="auto" data-eio-rwidth="900" data-eio-rheight="506" data-src-webp="https://media.predictiveindex.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/30115405/BLM-900x506.png.webp" data-srcset-webp="https://media.predictiveindex.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/30115405/BLM-900x506.png.webp 900w, https://media.predictiveindex.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/30115405/BLM-400x225.png.webp 400w"><noscript><img decoding="async" width="900" height="506" src="https://media.predictiveindex.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/30115405/BLM-900x506.png" class="rounded d-block d-md-none wp-post-image" alt="" srcset="https://media.predictiveindex.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/30115405/BLM-900x506.png 900w, https://media.predictiveindex.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/30115405/BLM-400x225.png 400w" sizes="(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px" data-eio="l"></noscript></div><div class="card-body"> <a class="taxonomy" href="https://www.predictiveindex.com/category/diversity-inclusion/">Diversity & Inclusion</a><h4 class="entry-title">Black Lives Matter</h4><p>If you haven’t already spoken out against the violence and injustice black Americans face, now…</p><div class="card-footer bg-transparent border-0 px-0 pb-5 pb-md-0"> <a class="btn btn-link btn-arrow read-more stretched-link" href="https://www.predictiveindex.com/blog/black-lives-matter/" title="Black Lives Matter">Read more <i class="fas fa-arrow-right fa-w-10"></i></a></div></div></div></div><div class="col-md-6 mb-5"></div></div></div></div></section><section class="content-block"><div class="block-container"><div class="wp-block-group my-5 px-md-5 mx-md-5"><div class="wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow"><h2 id="treasure-19-feb-24-vegan-friendly-cooking" class="wp-block-heading">Treasure #19 (Feb 24): Vegan-friendly cooking</h2><p>Shared by Jabari Dawkins:</p><p>Welcome back to Foodie Friday! </p><p>Found a fantastic pair of recipes for today.

Happy Monday. It’s day 27 of BHM and I have the privilege of sharing today’s daily BHM treasure!</p><p>Travel is an essential element of the American ideal. Travel experiences often change our lives and inform our worldview by allowing us to meet new people and see new things. For many reasons, marginalized populations tend to travel less. And we can’t talk about the history of travel in America without examining how Black Americans have fought for spaces in which they could exist freely. Places where they could take hold of this essential piece of the American experience.</p><p>Before, during, and after the Jim Crow era (when segregation was legal and Black people were legally and explicitly prohibited from existing where and how doing so made white people uncomfortable) different methods were used to punish, intimidate, and terrorize Black people to deter them from showing up where they weren’t wanted. One way was the implicit threat of violence for being Black in a white neighborhood or municipality after sunset. These municipalities came to be known as <a href="https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/adeonibada/sundown-towns-racism-black-drivers-tiktok" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sundown towns</a>. </p><figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"><div class="entry-content-asset"><iframe loading="lazy" title="“The Green Book: Guide to Freedom:” How African Americans Safely Navigated Jim Crow America" width="500" height="281" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen data-src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Sxa-4M2crjA?feature=oembed" class="lazyload"></iframe></div></div></figure><p>Not exclusive to the Jim Crow south, Sundown towns added a layer of difficulty for Black people exploring the United States. Whether it was for weddings, funerals, relocation, or vacation, route planning had to take into account <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sxa-4M2crjA" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the real possibility of</a> psychological and/or physical violence/harassment. This is one reason Black travel can be viewed as resistance to white supremacy. </p><p>My BHM treasure, Idlewild, MI, is an example of that resistance.</p><h3 id="the-history-of-idlewild-mi" class="wp-block-heading">The history of Idlewild, MI</h3><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idlewild,_Michigan" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Idlewild</a> began in the early 1900s and was advertised as one of the few destinations where Black Americans could freely purchase land. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Hale_Williams" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Daniel Hale Williams</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madam_C._J._Walker" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Madame C.J. Walker</a>, and W.E.B. Dubois were some of the first to purchase property in Idlewild. </p><p>As most places do, Idlewild underwent some change and evolution over time. From a small community to a larger, investment-driven Black business center (similar to Tulsa’s Greenwood district), to a popular resort town known as “Black Eden.” To a hunter’s/angler’s paradise, where prominent Black entertainers of the time—like Aretha Franklin, B.B. King, Della Reese, Fats Waller, The Four Tops, and Cab Calloway—would pack clubs full.</p><p>My late grandmother owned a small two-bedroom home in Idlewild and nearly every summer of my childhood, we’d spend a week there enjoying different summer festivals and trips to Lake Michigan. She’d share stories of the vacations she spent there in her youth with her cousins. How vibrant the community was and how exciting it was to see the performances. </p><p>By the time I’d gotten to see Idlewild, it had seen significant divestment and decline as other vacation destinations became more accessible to African Americans. So while it is no longer the destination it once was, for me, it serves as an important historical site and a reminder that leisure as Black resistance is both valid and necessary.</p></div></div></div></section><section class="content-block"><div class="block-container"><div class="wp-block-group my-5 px-md-5 mx-md-5"><div class="wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow"><h2 id="treasure-21-feb-28-keeping-the-party-going" class="wp-block-heading">Treasure #21 (Feb 28): Keeping the party going!</h2><p>Shared by Charisse Alouidor:</p><p>PIoneers & fellow Changemakers: We have arrived at a bittersweet moment.
