Coaching in Context series Unmasking: The Journey Home As we go through life or experience challenging or traumatic events and experiences, we develop different protective mechanisms for surviving and thriving. Over time, those shields or masks become a part of our identity, how we see ourselves and how we show up in the world.    We eventually forget that we no longer need those masks to thrive but are unwilling to take them off for fear of who and what it will reveal or that we will not survive without them. Sometimes, we are unable to take them [...]

Black History Month Reflections from VP of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

2025-02-25T11:32:50-08:00

February marks Black History Month in the United States. This month is exceptional because this month, more than any other month, holds a consistent theme of liberation that binds each of us together in a unique way. Black History Month is a time for the greater story of Blackness in America to be told: this story and reality is not only of denied freedom and bondage, but of brilliance, intellect, fortitude, and hope. W.E.B. Du Bois called it Black Strivings, the eternal quest for the recognition of Black humanity and emancipation. The latter is to be understood as part [...]
