25 years in the hospitality industry is not easy 👍

Massive round of applause to DJT and Family for their incredible resilience over the years... Thanks for your service, Donald. When you drain a swamp, where do you put all the snakes? The amusing thing is that a guy like Donald, is twice as effective the second time (The comeback kid) I am incredibly excited to reap the benefits of this mans hard work and so should you! He works for us, and when people work for us they should be benefiting U.S. - thats how it works. When you work for Burger king, you don't sell Mcdonalds cheeseburgers and if you did, you would be out of business. America is real close to being out of business. Name one society that did not crumble in the history of this planet? You cant - they all did. The only question, is when? Stop allowing our government, the media and its politicians to perform its poisonous acts on the behalf of Megadoners and foreign interests. You are being sensitivity trained to be slaves. Inch by inch, year by year - You will have the perception of more, but the reality of less until you have nothing and then you will give your life, for liberty. #AMERICAFIRST #TRUMP2024 #DRAINTHESWAMP #MEDIAREFORM #SPENDINGREFORM #SECUREBORDERS #TOUGHERONCRIME #EDUCATIONREFORM #LIBTARDS #LOBBYINGREFORM #SLAVERYSENSATIVITYTRAINING

Which companies do celebrate Easter? Earlier, I thought it was mostly traditional businesses in sectors like manufacturing. However, statistics show something entirely different: over 95% of our clients who order Easter gifts are actually from the IT industry. Usually, they don't emphasize religious aspects but rather leverage this holiday as an opportunity to provide their employees with gifts like food, coloring books, and more. In addition, some IT companies extend their generosity to the children of their employees. Such an interesting insight. Does your company give gifts to employees for Easter? #EasterGifts #MOODua #NellyTalks

Voices for Healthy Kids strives to make every day healthier for every child. We want every child, toddler, and infant in every community to have access to affordable healthy foods and beverages, safe places to play and get active, high-quality early childhood development, and more. Voices for Healthy Kids works around the country to improve or create equitable policies that will make the places kids, live, learn, and play healthier. We do this by supporting advocacy campaigns, creating visibility for issues that affect children's health, mobilizing communities, helping to advance science and research via communications and messaging expertise, and fostering partnerships. We need to address the inequities, biases, and racism that exist in current systems and policies and how they have impacted the lives of children – particularly those who are Black/African American, Latino/Hispanic, American Indian/Alaskan Native, or from families who have low income.

2024 was a year to challenge the status quo on the state of Black wellness. More than just mental and physical health, wellness also includes economic well-being, spiritual connectivity, spending time with family and loved ones, and even the foods we consume. As communities across Washington state continued to deal with the impacts of COVID-19, Christina and Keith Blocker worked with nonprofits, community activists, and local governments to spark conversations about wellness for Black communities and opportunities to create rising change. The result of this dialogue is Elevate Black Wellness (EBW). And this month, Christina and Keith will share the story of EBW at the Washington State Public Health Association's Annual Conference in Yakima. With the theme of ""Cultivating Social Justice,"" we think it is an ideal moment to highlight partnerships across the state, including proclamations in 11 communities across Washington--and the critical importance of continuing this work in the future. Curious about EBW? Visit elevateblackwellness.com to learn more about it, and how you can join us to Elevate Black Wellness in 2025 (and beyond!) #blackwellness #elevateblackwellness #blackmentalhealth #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #washington #apha #wspha

My #Sunday #Thanksgiving Notes Over Thanksgiving, many people asked how I'm navigating the upcoming political changes. My response: I’m focused on both joy and strategy. My joy is reflected in the affirmation below, and my strategy is rooted in my commitment to #Diversity, #Equity, and #Inclusion (DEI). For me, investing in businesses that prioritize these values is the closest thing to reparations I’ll experience in my lifetime. In practice, this means I’m choosing to support companies that uplift historically marginalized communities, especially Black Americans. I believe that businesses and individuals who don’t align with #DEI don’t align with my values, and they no longer have my support. It’s about putting my money where my values are and creating change, one dollar at a time. So, I’m saying goodbye to companies like Walmart and Sam's Club , and instead, choosing to support brands like Target and Costco Wholesale I’m also moving away from online stores with monopolies in favor of more open-sourced, community-driven businesses. Beyond financial choices, I’m focused on ensuring joy in abundance and staying grounded in the belief expressed in Galatians 6:9: "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up." To those who reject DEI: I have to ask, if you are against fairness and justice for historically harmed communities, what are you truly for? On a religious note I believe those who discourage DEI and the devaluation of truth they will be dealt with accordingly in this lifetime or the next. I am confident that the path I’ve chosen will create lasting positive change, and I encourage others to do the same. For all others who follow a different path you are in my prayers as my God, would want me to do. Amen.

This month is #DisabilityPrideMonth and I want to know how you are celebrating! Share your story and what you are proud of in the comments  

Twanna Hardy Tawanna A. Karen Ashley Joseph B Hill #letsdefygravity #projectmidnight #dei #hrexecutives Walmart has confirmed that it will curb some diversity, equity, and inclusion programs. The country's largest retailer said it will no longer use the acronym "DEI" in company communications and will wind down the Center for Racial Equity nonprofit established in 2020. Walmart also said it will no longer require racial equity training for staff and will no longer participate in the annual Human Rights Campaign rankings. The company follows Ford, Lowe's, Boeing, and Harley-Davidson in scaling back corporate diversity initiatives following pressure from an activist. My new book provides a detailed explanation of this retreat from DEI. You can pick up a copy at any bookstore or online book retailer.

📌 HR Pros: Don't forget to celebrate every kind of mom in the workplace this Mother's Day! 💐 ⭐ There are bio moms, step moms, foster moms, grand moms, pet moms, moms that you wouldn't know are moms and the list goes on... 💡 The biggest impact we can make is educating everyone on the diversity of caretakers, nurturers and role models whom make up this group of givers. 🫶 Ensure that your messaging, tokens of appreciation or events reflect a culture of inclusivity by inviting self identification (in order to also be sensitive to those who may not want to partake in celebration). Happy Friday... Let's human! 🤗
