    By Amanda Brandon, NRWA Newsletter Editor

    Our long-time DEI columnist Eustacia English is taking a step back, and while we’re sad to see her step out of this role, it creates an opportunity for a new voice or voices to amplify our position on this essential topic.

    Here’s a list of qualifications I put together for this important part of our signature publication.

    • A volunteer or group of volunteers who can take on this monthly commitment.
    • A volunteer/volunteers who actively invest in training and thought leadership on DEI topics.
    • A volunteer who can apply DEI to writing resumes, LinkedIn profiles, and career branding topics.
    • A punctual, dedicated writer. No publication experience is required. If you’ve never written a column before, don’t be afraid to submit your name. I’ve been working with up-and-coming columnists for 20 years. I can help you polish your writing for a publication audience. My greatest need is interest, content, and dedication.
    • Open to feedback. Putting together a newsletter for a niche audience requires continuous improvement on my part and the writers’ part. Even as an editor, my team of proofreaders helps me sharpen my writing and understand our organization’s take on topics. You must be open to constructive feedback to be successful in this role.
    If you are interested in working on our DEI column on a semimonthly or monthly basis, please email me at [email protected]. I’m looking forward to your responses.

    By Eustacia A. English - NRWA DEI Columnist

    March is one of my favorite months because it’s Women’s History Month in the United States, and we celebrate International Women’s Day during the second week of the month. International Women’s Day reminds us to be even more mindful and welcoming of women from all continents, countries, and communities.

    International Women’s Day is an inclusive and diverse celebration devoted to celebrating women's achievements while fighting for gender equality across the globe. This day aims to honor the impact of women worldwide and encourages people to challenge gender stereotypes, discrimination, and oppression.

    For International Women’s Day in 2023, the official International Women’s Day organization will run a campaign on the theme of "Embrace Equity.” Meanwhile, this year, the United Nations’ official theme is “DigitALL: Innovation and technology for gender equality.”

    Women and girls face many overlapping and intersecting challenges, like reproductive injustice, economic inequality, and ongoing discrimination. Historically, women of color, transgender women, and queer women have been subjected to even more harmful and isolating oppression than their White, cisgender sisters in America and beyond. However, on International Women’s Day, it’s important to learn more about the experiences of women all across the globe.

    Here are some resources and learning materials for your educational pursuits:
    • Read good news about women.
    • Donate to organizations around the world that support women and girls.
    • Help improve women’s health around the globe.
    • Check out local and virtual event calendars for International Women’s Day events, fundraisers, or service projects near you.
    • Have a women filmmakers movie marathon.
    • Watch a documentary about women’s rights.
    • Read books about gender equality.
    • Learn about the challenges women and girls face around the world.
    • Turn your good intentions into real change.

    Former First Lady Michelle Obama once said, “There is no limit to what we, as women, can accomplish.” Celebrate women's achievements. Raise awareness about discrimination. Take action to drive gender parity. International Women’s Day belongs to everyone, everywhere.

    I implore you to approach all of your celebrations with intersectionality and intention.

    Eustacia English writes the Perspective column, which examines Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in resume writing and career strategy. She is a 20-year HR and talent acquisition veteran and started Resumes on Demand last year. She also writes on DEI for The Black in HR e-zine. She lives with her husband and two children in Cherry Hill, NJ. Find her online at LinkedIn.com/in/ecampbell05.

    By Eustacia A. English, NRWA DEI Columnist

    I love a good theme, and this year's Black History Month theme, “Black Resistance,” explores how "African Americans have resisted historical and ongoing oppression, in all forms, especially the racial terrorism of lynching, racial pogroms, and police killings," since the nation's earliest days, according to History.com.

    Let’s dive into what you need to know about Black History Month and how to celebrate it this year.

    Black History Month, which began as a week-long celebration in 1926 by Carter G. Woodson, is an annual celebration of African American achievements and a time to recognize their central role in US history.

    Black History Month was first recognized by President Gerald Ford in 1976. In a speech, President Ford encouraged Americans to “seize the opportunity to honor the too-often neglected accomplishments of Black Americans in every area of endeavor throughout our history." Since his administration, every American president has recognized Black History Month, and Congress passed National Black History Month in 1986.

    Other countries, such as the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Ireland, celebrate Black History Month in October. Black American history was the main emphasis of Black History Month when it was first observed in the U.K. in 1987. However, Black British history has gotten more attention over time, with the celebration now focusing on African achievements in the U.K.

    After teaching Canadian Black history in her classroom, Canada’s first African Canadian Parliamentarian, Jean Augustine, led the charge to establish Canada’s Black History Month. She proposed a motion to Parliament in 1995 that passed with unanimous consent.

    I urge everyone to commemorate Black History in February and all year long. Here are three ways to do so.

    1. Support Black-owned businesses. Many Black-owned companies are still affected by structural racism, threatening their ability to serve community needs. Becoming a customer is a great way to celebrate a Black-owned business. 

    Don’t know where to start? Online marketplaces like Miiriya, Afterpay, and We buy black showcases Black-owned businesses in fashion, art, beauty, home decor, and more. You can also find companies by searching for the #blackowned hashtag online.

    2. Visit museums that center on Black history and culture. There are plenty of museums that you can visit in person or virtually. My personal favorites are the African American Museum of Philadelphia and the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, D.C.
    3. Learn about Black figures and their contributions. Black History Month is associated with many well-known historical figures, such as Civil Rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr. and activist Rosa Parks. You can visit BlackPast.org for a list of other notable Black figures.

    This column is a call to everyone to study the history of Black people and establish safe spaces where Black history can be honored, sustained, fortified, and respected. Peace, love, and blessings in 2023 and beyond.
