Separating the Art From the Artist
Recently, Jann Wenner, the co-founder of Rolling Stone magazine and a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation member, released a book entitled “The Masters”. This book featured his interviews with rock legends who have become his friends. There is no arguing the influence the subjects of this book have had on Rock music. However, when questioned why there were no Blacks or women, his flippant, obnoxious, and frankly stupid response negated two demographics of rock 'n' roll's history as if they did not matter. He took his experience, privilege, and influence to brush off legends - whether he chose to acknowledge them or not - that built his career. It was an unfortunate reminder of how someone we hold in high regard can disappoint us in such a poignant and profound way.

In recent studies, it has come to light that Black women in the tech industry not only face a lack of equity but also endure high rates of retaliation. These findings underscore the urgent need for workplace transformation to support and understand women of color. Shockingly, racial trauma affects over 60% of Black women, yet it is often overlooked by employers. It is clear that companies must address the unique challenges faced by women of color and create a more inclusive environment.
