In recognition of Black History Month, we’re honoring innovators throughout history in Health, Sustainability, Community and Empathy. These industries are undergoing enormous change as they navigate digital transformation, consumer shifts, climate change and policy. Changemakers take on the duty of helping to guide organizations, industries and culture through this transformation — and to come out on the other side with something positive and something even better — something that works for all.

We recognize and honor the unique contributions of Black Changemakers — who are often under-recognized for their significant innovations in advancing industries and transforming lives.

Health

Changemakers are working to advance our knowledge in science, develop more effective treatment solutions, leverage population health data and address systemic inequities in the delivery of care that create additional burdens for underserved, and specifically BIPOC, communities.

Sustainability

Changemakers are working to advance our knowledge in science, to update our growing practices to be more sustainable, and to address the systemic inequities of food access, food justice, and connection with the land.

Community

Changemakers in community believe that strong communities lead to better lives and are working to deepen our connections in the places we gather, the schools where we learn, and in the values we embody. They are also addressing the systemic inequities in access to health, education, safety and food access, specifically effecting BIPOC communities.

Empathy:

Changemakers in empathy are working to deepen our understanding of one another by providing a lens to also engage our differences in meaningful ways. With true connection, we can work together to address systemic inequities, engage in service, pursue justice and begin healing.

These leaders navigate change and the inequities of structural racism as they work to develop new solutions, cultivate vital new perspectives, address systemic inequities — and through their work, advance a positive future for all.
