What piece of music, or episode of TV (or a show) picks you up when your mood is low?
One episode that lifts me up is the show arc with Hippolyta on Lovecraft. The episode is titled, “I am Hippolyta”
Also love Girls Trip
And this video of Mini in an Afro wig and sequin shift dress dancing to the first 90 seconds of “Proud Mary” (she really shimmied all through it)

Yesterday I was part of a panel on building and leading inclusive teams. One of the questions we were asked was how to build an environment where people at all levels feel comfortable sharing feedback with leaders and each other.
Creating and sustaining a feedback-rich culture is an overlooked aspect of inclusive cultures (and discussions on how to build an inclusive culture). And the effort that it requires can be intense (in a few different ways).
But it's a fundamental and worthwhile investment for leaders who want to advance diversity and inclusion in their business. Our panel had 4 key pieces of advice for leaders & managers of people who want to develop a feedback-rich culture on their teams and in their orgs:

"The goal Baker Botts has publicly pledged to meet requires that firms link compensation to D&I by "materially impacting" pay if the partners or leaders meet or fall short of certain diversity subgoals."

This ghost town in the California desert offers a crucial lesson about the history of American racism bloomberg.com/opinion/articl… via @bopinion
"Allentown owes its existence to two Black men: Army officer Colonel Allen Allensworth of Kentucky and William A. Payne, an Ohio educator. They set out to establish a place 'where African Americans would settle upon the bare desert and cause it to blossom as a rose.'"

And if you end up arguing with said community about who should be at the forefront, guess what?
