In the ongoing national debate over Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), a legislative proposal known as H.R.3518 – the “Graduate Medical School DEI Eligibility Act” – has emerged as a critical, yet potentially devastating, force. While its name might sound innocuous, a closer look reveals a bill that could dismantle vital advancements in medical education and have profound, negative consequences for the future of U.S. healthcare, especially for the Black community. This i

The designation of Juneteenth as a federal holiday in 2021 marked a monumental shift. Public awareness surged, with a Gallup poll showing familiarity rising from 37% in 2021 to nearly 60% in 2022. Corporations across various sectors swiftly followed suit, with approximately 39% of U.S. private sector companies recognizing Juneteenth as a paid holiday by 2023. This increased visibility has brought Juneteenth "beyond Black America," fostering broader national understanding.

While seemingly straightforward, this clause has a profound history and continues to spark significant legal and social battles, especially concerning various ethnic communities and, notably, Black Americans.

As Bill C-2 progresses through Parliament, it is vital for Canadians to critically examine its provisions. Upholding Canada's commitment to human rights and social justice means ensuring that border security measures do not come at the cost of equity, dignity, and protection for those most in need. The "Strong Borders Act" must not become a tool for entrenching racialized inequalities, but rather an opportunity for a renewed commitment to a truly fair and equitable immigratio

The business coaching landscape has undergone a radical transformation.

This isn't merely about staying current with technology; it's about reclaiming the narrative and using cutting-edge tools to dismantle systemic barriers that have historically limited Black women's economic

A new proposal seeks to take back $9.4 billion in funds Congress already approved. The administration calls it cutting “wasteful” and “woke” spending. But a closer look reveals something much more specific: a targeted dismantling of programs that are lifelines for Black women at home and across the globe. This isn’t about saving money. This is an ideological attack. Here’s the unvarnished truth about what these cuts mean for us.

This persistent misrepresentation is not merely an abstract concern; it has tangible consequences, shaping perceptions and, too often, limiting opportunities. The age-old wisdom that "until the lions tell their own stories, the history of the hunt will always glorify the hunter" rings truer than ever. It highlights a fundamental mission: to seize control of our narratives and demand that the world sees and acknowledges the rich diversity of Black womanhood.

The struggles of Black women activists globally for dignity, justice, and human rights are deeply interconnected and profoundly relatable. T

In West Africa, the security challenges in Nigeria and the political unrest in Côte d'Ivoire have led to profound humanitarian crises. Beyond the immediate threats to life and property, these conflicts have inflicted deep psychological wounds on the populations, particularly women and children. The lack of adequate mental health services exacerbates the suffering, highlighting the urgent need for comprehensive mental health and community support programs.

For over 1.6 billion people of African descent worldwide, the next ten years offer an opportunity to move beyond awareness toward measurable equity. The recognition of this second decade invites governments, institutions, and communities to actively redress the ongoing legacies of slavery, colonialism, and structural racism that continue to shape economic, social, and political life across continents.

This is not just a public health issue—it is a global justice issue. Whether in a modern hospital in New York or a rural clinic in Nigeria, Black women are asking the same question: Why are we not being heard? The crisis reveals a deep structural failure that spans continents. But it also highlights the strength of communities fighting for change—from grassroots doulas in Detroit to mobile clinics in Ghana.

Brazil has one of the highest rates of racial inequality in the world, and the favelas—informal settlements housing over 11 million people—are at the center of this crisis. Dominated by poor infrastructure, state abandonment, and militarized policing, these communities have long been written off. But within them, Black women are building networks, redefining leadership, and making visible the invisible work of care, resistance, and justice.

Though divided by geography, they are united by a shared burden: environmental racism. This systemic pattern places polluting industries near communities of color, threatening health, dignity, and human rights. Yet, these communities are not passive recipients—they are challenging, resisting, and reimagining their futures.
