As we close out February and Black History Month, I’m reflecting on how our history shapes us and moves us forward.
Our history is not just something we study. It lives in how we show up. How we lead. How we serve. How we stay present in rooms that were not always built for us.
We carry the lessons, the resilience, and the courage of those who came before us. We lean on what our ancestors built, fought for, and believed in. Their wisdom shows up in our conviction. Their strength shows up in our leadership. Their faith shows up in our ability to keep going.
Because of them, we lead with grace. We lead with clarity. We lead with purpose.
And as leaders, we do not just honor history. We extend it. We create change that impacts those who are coming through us.
Black history is not behind us. It is within us. And it continues through us.
