This Black History Month, we’re flipping the script.
Rather than only celebrating the stories we already know, we’re choosing to spotlight what we’re still learning about race, equity, and inclusion in the workplace and beyond.
At Baltimore Consulting, we believe that true progress begins with reflection.
That’s why we invited our team to share personal moments of growth, discomfort, and change. These reflections are helping us normalise ongoing education and foster honest conversations around racial equity and inclusive practices.
Why This Matters
Black History Month is a time to honour the legacy, achievements, and contributions of Black communities. But it’s also an opportunity to challenge ourselves to go beyond performative gestures and engage in meaningful dialogue and action.
We don’t claim to have all the answers. But we’re committed to listening, learning, and improving; both as individuals and as a business.
Creating Space for Growth
By encouraging our team to share their experiences, we’re building a culture where vulnerability is valued, and learning is continuous. These stories remind us that inclusion isn’t a destination, it’s a journey that requires humility, empathy, and accountability.
Our Commitment
- Listening actively to diverse voices
Learning continuously through education and dialogue
Improving intentionally by embedding equity into our practices
This month and every month, we’re committed to doing the work. Because progress starts with reflection, and reflection leads to change.
Real-World Lessons, Real-Time Growth: stories that make a difference
“I’ve always been passionate about EDIB, particularly from a racial perspective. But learning more about intersectionality and how it connects us all has really broadened my view – highlighting the importance of inclusivity and belonging for everyone, regardless of background.”
“Learning about the cycle of oppression really opened my eyes; it helped me to understand my own privilege and unconscious bias.
I’m not perfect, and it still creeps in, but understanding it helps me to try and minimise the noise.”
“Learning about microaggressions was a wake-up call. Becoming conscious isn’t about guilt, it’s about responsibility and choosing to do better.”
