Juneteenth, the federal holiday commemorating the end of slavery in the U.S., is an annual reminder of our collective journey toward equality.

As a Black woman and a dedicated HR executive, fostering an inclusive workplace culture isn’t merely a professional obligation for me; it’s a deeply personal commitment. However, transparency in diversity reporting—a critical step in establishing inclusivity—is often avoided by companies due to fear of criticism or negative perception.
