35+ Ways to Celebrate Black History Month in the Workplace

Every February we celebrate the contributions, achievements, history, and culture of Black people as part of Black History Month. Per the Association for the Study of African American Life and History, this year's Black History Month theme is Black Health and Wellness, which "considers activities, rituals, and initiatives that Black communities have done to be well." This theme is especially timely as we enter the third year of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has disproportionately affected minority communities and placed unique burdens on Black professionals.

While Black history can (and should) be celebrated year-round, finding a way to honor Black history any day this month is a great start! To give you some ideas, we asked some of our partner companies what they have planned this year to celebrate Black History Month. Keep reading to see how they’re celebrating in their own words!

How This NSA Systems Engineer Has Grown Her Career by Harnessing the Power of ERGs

One thing Arielle does each day that she wishes more people would do is say 'thank you.' "I may say thank you just as much as I say hello in a day. I think it is important to show people around you that you appreciate even the seemingly small things they do or contribute," she explains. For this track and field coach, sorority member, and doctoral candidate, an attitude of gratitude is key to success.

We sat down with Arielle, a systems engineer at NSA, to learn more about her involvement in ERGs and how they sparked her career growth.

How Viasat’s Jasmine Harvey Architects Her Own Career

Jasmine Harvey is pursuing her MBA while working full-time as a buyer for Viasat, a global communications and satellite internet company. Balancing home, work, and school while maintaining a 3.9 grade point average has been quite a challenge.

She finished a full 15 percentage points above the class average, but was still 0.6 points away from an "A".
