Evenbrite’s Black&Brite is commemorating Black History Month (yes, even in November!) with a thoughtful celebration of Black excellence. In partnership with the Belovd Agency, join us for a progressive panel discussion exploring the unique challenges and complexities of mental well-being in Black communities.
Join us as we discuss and unpack various topics from how to prevent burnout, what is the Black Tax, what it is like advancing younger, and earning more than your family, the ceiling for Black people and how to navigate different cultural customs in the workplace vs at home.
