Evolving Perspectives: Celebrating Black History Month with Our Managing Director
As Black History Month unfolds, it presents a precious opportunity to reflect on the growth and impact of this observance. This year, we’ve had the privilege of sitting down with our Managing Director, Richard Manso, to delve into his evolving perspectives on the significance of Black History Month. Richard’s unique journey through the landscape of talent acquisition and leadership at Digital Republic Talent has provided him with profound insights.
Embracing Evolution
When asked about how his perspective on the significance of Black History Month has evolved over the years, Richard spoke candidly about his journey. He shared how, in the earlier stages of his career, the month often served as a time for recognition and celebration. However, as he advanced into leadership roles, it transformed into an even more powerful platform for driving meaningful change.
Over the years, I’ve come to see that Black History Month is not only about celebrating the great figures in history; it’s a call for us to take action. As leaders, it’s essential to understand that this observance is a platform to drive cultural change, to stand up for diversity and equity. It’s not just a reflection on history; it’s a catalyst for the future,
Richard emphasized.
Active Acknowledgment and Celebration
The second video interview explored Richard’s perspective on the actions that companies, especially in the tech and digital industry, can take to actively acknowledge and celebrate Black History Month and its core principles of diversity and equity. Here, Richard’s words resonated with a profound commitment to actionable steps.
For companies to truly acknowledge and celebrate Black History Month, it’s not about a tokenistic gesture. It’s about committing to long-term change and creating an inclusive environment where the principles of Black History Month are celebrated year-round. It means creating a diverse workforce and making sure that every voice is heard,
Richard passionately emphasized.
