The #BlackProfessionals Project

You have been asked the HARDEST question in life a million times... What do you want to do with your life? This is an extremely difficult question for anyone to answer, especially Black and Brown Youth. Black people, in particular, account for about 12% of the U.S. population but occupy only 3.2% of the senior leadership roles at large companies in the U.S. and just 0.8% of all Fortune 500 CEO positions. Meanwhile, Black and Brown people make up 76.2% of the NBA and 47% of Billboard's top 100 artists of 2019. Knowledge might be power, but role models inspire, and Black and Brown youths do not see themselves represented in the professional world. We here at the #BlackProfessionals Project share the stories of Black and Brown professionals with Black and Brown Youths across the globe. We partner with other non-profits around the world to help share these journeys with Black and Brown youths everywhere. Join our family and network with Black and Brown Professionals by following our LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube pages (@blk_professions)! INTERESTED IN SHARING YOUR STORY? If you are a Black or Brown professional interested in sharing your professional journey with us, then please follow us and sign-up at the buttons above. Our video chats last between 15-20 mins so we can be flexible with you busy schedules.
