Black History is a time to celebrate and honor Black Achievement in our American Culture. As an African-American woman, finding my voice and my identity has had many challenges in our society.

Once you get through that quick self-assessment identify some action steps to keep your momentum going: - Maybe now is a good time to sit down with your manager and talk about your career path.
- Perhaps there are certifications you can pursue that will give a boost to your career.
- If you are in school, maybe now is a good time to book a session with your counselor and take stock for your academic progress. Counselors are known to have access to a tremendous amount of resources that they can share.
