As we celebrate Black History, we'd love to talk about some books that have changed the team at Stay in Your Lane. We have learned, grown, and enjoyed. Today is: Take My Coffee Back: Reflections on Tupac, Musical Theater, Faith, and Being Black in America, by Tyler Merritt We adore Tyler. Tyler shares his life stories as a Black man in America in his book. His famous videos, "Before You Call the Cops" and "Walking While Black," show what he's been through. He tells his stories with honesty and humor, making it easy to understand what it's like to grow up Black. This book is good for anyone who wants to learn about this experience in a simple yet deep way. Tyler is funny authentic, and smart. Check out his YouTube videos. Grab this book. Let us know how much you loved it like we did.

Black artists who are often overlooked…   Are you aware of Black artists from the 20th and 21st centuries who are known to art institutions, but are who are not as widely known or celebrated as some of their historical or contemporary peers and are often excluded from mainstream conversations? "For example, Alma Thomas, Jack Whitten, Sam Gilliam, and Frank Bowling are well-deserved citations of the early Black abstractionists, but lesser known to that history, broadly speaking, are Lilian Thomas Burwell, Evangeline “EJ” Montgomery, and Deborah Dancey. While contemporary artists like Kerry James Marshall, Betye Saar, and Faith Ringgold are the founding leaders of contemporary figurative painting and printmaking, the contributions of artists like Malcolm Bailey, Charles Alston, and Camille Billops may not be as widely known or discussed." I learned more about these underrecognized artists by reading an excellent article published in Artsy and written by Maxwell Rabb. Excerpts quoted above - link is in the comments.

  "How corporations and leaders treat people within (or outside) their organization is a direct reflection of the ethics of the organization and their brand". This month, and always, it is important that we all consider what it means to be a true ally and ways that we can support the efforts and opportunities of others. 🖤 As February unfolds, it's the perfect time to reflect, honor, & celebrate the profound contributions of Black individuals to our history, culture, and society. #Blackhistorymonth isn't just about recognizing the past; it's about embracing the present & shaping a more #inclusive future together.   By embracing #diversity and celebrating Black heritage, we not only enrich our workplace culture but also contribute to a more #equitable & inclusive society. #DiversityandInclusion #InclusiveWorkplace #UnityInDiversity #EducationForAll #EqualityAndJustice #CulturalAppreciation #ProgressThroughUnity #VIRAInsight #cultureofcare
