Though resisted\, suppressed\, excluded\, ignored\, suffocated\, and maligned in many spaces\, Black Excellence has continually resisted and flourished – often like a plant growing in concrete. In this presentation I examine the need to acknowledge\, honour\, establish and preserve Black excellence within our self and spaces we occupy. The role of community and organizations in sustaining and protecting Black excellence will also be examined. Throughout the presentation a brave conversation about the barriers within the workplace and ways we must work intentionally to eradicate anti-Black racism and foster inclusion\, access\, and growth will also be fostered. \n\n\n\n\n\nPresented by Dr. Andrew B.
