Facilitate 2 Motivate Presents “Can You Hear Us Now?: Black Chemists in the Workplace”
Facilitate 2 Motivate, LLC established the Can You Hear Us Now? panel series after the tragic murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and many more ignited protests around the world demanding an equitable justice system and shining light on systemic racism and disparities that exist in America across all facets of life, such as housing, education, healthcare, and employment. The series features a live conversation with Black professionals as they discuss their experience with racial injustices in the workplace and provide strategies for improving the overall climate in professional settings.
This special iteration of the series will provide an environment for Black chemists to express thoughts on how race has impacted their careers and the manner in which they interact with colleagues in the workplace. The discussion will aim to educate, inform, and inspire changes that support the success of Black chemists around the world and strengthen connections with allies. The invited panelists are leading chemists with a wealth of knowledge and a myriad of valuable experience that will be helpful for fellow Black chemists navigating their careers and allies seeking to ensure that their organizations are inclusive and equitable.
