Understanding history is crucial to building an inclusive and equitable future. Juneteenth is a reminder of the resilience and contributions of Black communities and a call to action for all of us to foster an environment where everyone can thrive.
If you are a part of the Black community, we hope today is filled with peace, hope and inspiration for you.
For everyone else, to commemorate Juneteenth—the day marking the emancipation of enslaved African Americans in 1865–here are actions and resources you can take to support your friends, neighbors, and colleagues:
1. Educate Yourself and Others:
- Books: “The New Jim Crow" by Michelle Alexander, "How to Be an Antiracist" by Ibram X. Kendi, "Caste" by Isabel Wilkerson.
- Podcasts: "1619" by The New York Times, "Code Switch" by NPR
- Websites: Equal Justice Initiative, NAACP and BLACK LIVES MATTER
2. Support Black-Owned Businesses and Initiatives:
- Utilize platforms like WeBuyBlack, Official Black Wall Street and buy from National Minority Supplier Development Council (NMSDC) businesses: https://nmsdc.org/connect/corporate-member-directory/
- Donate to organizations working towards racial justice, such as the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, Color of Change, and the Southern Poverty Law Center.
3. Advocate for Change Within Your Organization:
- Establish or support Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) focused on racial equity. You can and should join ERGs that do NOT reflect your identity so you can learn, support and connect with people who don’t look like you.
- Advocate for transparent hiring, promotion, and pay equity practices.
- Encourage your company to conduct regular DEI training
4. Amplify Black Voices:
- Listen actively and give space for Black colleagues to share their experiences and perspectives.
- Recognize the efforts of your black colleagues and recommend them to represent your company at conferences, panels, and other visible events.
- Share content from Black creators and thought leaders on your social media platforms.
5. Engage in Community Action:
- Volunteer with organizations that support racial justice and community development and/or provide support: one that we support at Wet Cement is Covenant House International, which helps unhoused youth find a safe place, food, resources and hope.
Together, we can make a difference and pave the way for a more inclusive and just society. Happy Juneteenth from all of us at Wet Cement!

As you prepare for this important day, let's focus on empowering each other at work and use this to reinforce our commitment to hearing all voices in the workplace. 🌍💼
📣 It is especially important for women to have our voices heard and respected.

Studies show women are three times more likely to face this frustrating issue, even at the highest professional levels.
But there's a way to manage and rise above this. Watch our latest Fearless in 5 to learn 5 key strategies to minimize the interruptions:
1️⃣ Don't Stop, Keep Talking
2️⃣ "Hold That Thought"
3️⃣ Interrupt the Interrupter
4️⃣ Use Body Language
5️⃣ Address Consistent Offenders
Check out the video for all the details! Your voice is valuable and deserves to be heard. 💬 Tell us in the comments your favorite method for nixing an interruption.

With International Women's Day around the corner, you may be wondering what you can do to make it meaningful, memorable and actionable. Start with reading this article from our Founder, Jennifer Tishman Willey, packed with insights from today's UN Women webinar on how we can all play a part in making gender equality at work not just a goal, but a reality.
Instead of simply 'empowering the women' in your organization for one day, let's work towards a workplace where everyone, regardless of gender, has the opportunity to thrive and lead. Where men and women support each other in creating a culture of equality and empowerment. 💡✨
If you or your organization needs support, we are here to help. Wet Cement's "Modern Male Leader" and "Advance Women at Work" programs make it easy to gain momentum and create positive change, one step at a time. 💼💪❤️

Today is . This means every single day a white woman worked this year up until today is essentially UNPAID in comparison to what her male counterparts earn. For our sisters of color, it's far worse.
While may be over, the work towards is just beginning. today, tomorrow and every day.
Research shows women are far more likely to work hard and hope that others will recognize their efforts and impact, but it's been shown time and time again that it is not enough. We need to get comfortable being uncomfortable... and share what we do with the world.
Which is why this is the perfect time that it is --a time to drive awareness of our mission to make an impact on the lives of others. Self-promotion like this feels especially uncomfortable for women, like our Founder Jennifer Willey, but she knows self-advocacy is a critical part of earning the same recognition and pay. So she is sharing why she is and be a member of the National Speakers Association this - it's because our work is about building inclusive and empowered cultures where people can achieve their potential... and we are passionate about making an even bigger impact!
