I’m thrilled to participate in Part 3 of AT&T’s Barbershop Conversations, recorded at The Standard Grooming Company in Brooklyn, New York. A special thank you to Sheronda D. Braziel, Lead, Diversity at AT&T Learning & Development, AT&T Services, Inc.
Barbershop Conversations
In this compelling episode, we were hosted by both AT&T and community leaders to discuss a range of vital topics, including:
The Digital Divide: Addressing the need for universal high-speed internet in Black communities and its impact on education, employment, and connectivity.
Black Male Representation in the C-Suites: Highlighting the importance of diversity and inclusion in corporate leadership and the positive ripple effects of representation.
Black Fatherhood: Exploring the challenges Black fathers face, from societal stereotypes to systemic barriers, and discussing ways to support and uplift these families.
The conversation was insightful, profound, and at times, deeply moving. I encourage you to set aside an hour to listen—you will not be disappointed. This is an opportunity to gain valuable insights and join an essential dialogue about equity, representation, and community empowerment.
Let’s come together to drive meaningful change and foster a more inclusive future.
Testimonial
I absolutely love this on so many levels. Barbershop has always been the Black Man's Country Club. Many great memories for me and my sons. Even in College when I was cutting hair (we all had a hustle ), groups of us would gather in the dorm room to ideate, dream big and conversate in ways that affirmed and lifted each other up. Thank you for giving these important conversations the platform they deserve. Sharing with my sons.
