Antiracism

Historically, people of color, women, people with disabilities, and LGBTQ+ individuals face insurmountable oppression within their professional lives. At the B/Suite, we know that talent knows no bounds and is not dependent on any single story. Our organization exists to carve out opportunities for the most targeted and harmed of these groups: Black and Brown people. Statistically, within all marginalized groups, no one suffers more than Black and Brown people. By centering these identities in our work, we can dismantle systems of oppression that impact all marginalized groups.
