February is Black History Month in the United States but how can we Amplifying Black Excellence and Elevate Black Employees all year long? PowerToFly is thrilled to welcome back Dionna Smith, Global Head of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion at Thumbtack for this impactful conversation with PowerToFly Global Director of DEI Sienna Brown. Dionna and Sienna will discuss how leadership and professional development opportunities can amplify Black excellence, pitfalls to avoid when elevating Black employees, and how psychological safety can play a key role in performance and retention.
Meet the Speakers

About Diversity Reboot Summit
As we kick-off 2022 and look towards a brighter, post-pandemic future, many industries and communities are still recovering from the losses of the past two years. For example, did you know that COVID-related job losses pushed more Black women (9.5%) into unemployment than any other group? As we look at 2022 through a new lens, how can we be sure we are supporting our Black leaders and preventing this kind of loss from occurring again?
As we continue to learn from and be mobilized by the Black Lives Matter movement, it's clear we need to gather with leaders at the forefront of elevating Black leaders who can relay their accomplishments as well as the plans they have in-progress.
Join us as we celebrate the voices and achievements of Black leaders in business, and we share how we are holding each other, our work, and our organizations accountable to pledges for creating inclusive workplaces.
Speakers from our 2021 "Diversity Reboot: Elevating Black Women" summit included APCO Worldwide Senior Advisor, Equity and Justice, Charlene Wheeless; Global Head of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion for Thumbtack Dionna Smith; Group Vice President of Environmental, Social & Governance at Indeed LaFawn Davis; CoFounder & CEO of Fundr Lauren Washington, Author & Founder of MoveTheCrowd Rha Goddess, Chief Diversity & Inclusion Officer of Randstad North America Audra Jenkins; The Jane Club's Chudney Ross and many more.
Don't miss this free opportunity to connect with your peers, network with top companies and learn from leaders who are looking for community feedback.
