Celebrating Black History Month: Fueling Our Growth

Written by: Tangila Anowar, HR Generalist

At Razorfish Health, we believe in a “people first, people strong” culture. Our commitment is not only to our clients and partners, but to our people. This philosophy is the reason we are a 2022 Ad Age Best Places to Work agency. And as an agency that is committed to our people, we are always striving to foster a culture of continuous development and growth.

Since joining RFH, I’ve had the opportunity to work alongside our Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Advisory Council, which was formed in 2020 to ensure the work we do and the environment we create is reflective of, and sensitive to, the world around us. With the bedrock support from our Action Committee and encouragement from our Executive Leadership, the Advisory Council is dedicated to building and nurturing an evolving path forward that promotes opportunity, inclusion, and a voice for all of our employees. We understand that we don’t—and can’t—know everything. We believe that identifying ongoing learning and development opportunities is critical to our awareness and appreciation of diverse backgrounds, cultures, and experiences, and will contribute to an inclusive workplace.

Celebrating Black History Month, like other heritage months, is honoring OUR history. The path to acknowledging and identifying steps needed to bridge the gap to equity is making space for Black voices. This month, we’ve collected a wealth of incredible events created to explore many facets of the Black experience—from the impact of monumental achievements in history to stories of perseverance in the modern age. It’s all a part of our collective consciousness, so we encourage you to join us as we fuel our growth mindset through interactive education.

Check out the amazing calendar of events happening in New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, and online, curated by our DE&I Advisory Council. Progress is an ongoing journey. Let’s keep moving forward as we learn, commemorate, reflect, and take action this month.
