Inspiring afternoon with @djbigphill to check out all of the ORIGINAL artwork in his masterpiece Collection In Black - a celebration of Black Comic Book Culture at the August Wilson African American Cultural Center (@AugustWilsonCC ). Go check it out!
Reflecting on the @OneTen Technology Leadership Summit last week. I could not be more proud to present with @GradsofLife’s Fran Williams-Oni and Dr. Marshaun Hymon, and join leaders @OneTen, @Delta, @Cisco and @IBM in identifying ways that tech leaders can champion Black talent.
The unemployment rate for Black workers is 5.9%, which is close to double that of white workers, according to the latest jobs report.

What I Learned From Colin Powell: Our world would be a more equal, just and sustainable place if more CEOs recognized that they have obligations not only to their shareholders, but to all their stakeholders, including employees, communities & the planet.❤️ https://t.co/jEZ4iq058Y

How not to talk about vaccines:
Only half the population is vaccinated, and anti-vaxxers are to blame. Vaccines are safe and effective.
A better option:
Over 160M Americans are fully vaccinated. Yes, vaccines have risks, but COVID poses greater risk.

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice.
And most important have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become.—Steve Jobs

Congratulations to @NASA on the successful landing of the SUV-Sized Perseverance Rover on planet Mars.
Among other things, it carries a drone helicopter — an engineering test of flight, maneuvering, & navigation in the rarified Martian atmosphere.
Performance culture:
-Will this be on the test?
-Will I get a bonus?
-Can I put this on my resume?
Learning culture:
-How does that work?
-Will this teach me something new?
-I wonder what would happen if…
An mRNA vaccine doesn't actually contain the virus itself. Think of it as an email sent to your immune system that shows what the virus looks like, instructions to kill it, and then—like a Snapchat message—it disappears. Amazing technology.
