Anti-Racism

Historically, people of color, women, people with disabilities, and LGBTQIA2S+ individuals have faced insurmountable oppression while navigating their professional lives and careers. At the B Suite, we know talent is boundless and not dependent on any specific identity or story. Our organization exists to carve out opportunity for the most targeted and harmed of these groups: people of color. Statistically, within all marginalized groups, no one suffers more than Black and Brown people. By centering these identities in our work, we can work towards dismantling systems of oppression that impact all marginalized groups. To that end, the B Suite exists to elevate people of color and our membership organization is exclusively for those identifying as such.
