Your Brain at Work LIVE | Juneteenth: Towards a New Perspective

Your Brain at Work LIVE - S5:E04 Juneteenth Towards a New Perspective

 

One year ago this month, NeuroLeadership Institute, many organizations, and the vast majority of state governments declared #Juneteenth, the day that commemorates the emancipation of slavery in the United States, a paid holiday. On June 16, 2021 (the day of this posting), President Biden is expected to sign a bill from Congress into law declaring it a federal holiday. In this special edition of #YourBrainAtWork LIVE, an esteemed panel will discuss Juneteenth from a historical perspective, how it resonates and moves communities today, and where the conversation is going in the future. What meaningful ways can companies, leaders, and society-at-large deploy efforts and resources to create a more just, diverse, and equitable future?

Panel:
Dr. Lila Ammons (Associate Professor, Howard University)
Khalil Smith (Vice President, Inclusion, Diversity, and Engagement, Akamai) Janet Stovall (Senior Client Strategist, NeuroLeadership Institute)
John Edwards (Senior Client Strategist, NeuroLeadership Institute)
