Black History Month is a time to celebrate our diversity and acknowledge our history. We’re supporting Black artists and Black-owned restaurants, and acknowledging the Black business trailblazers that have shaped our industry.
We’re proud that we were able to help create and donate billboard space to Color of Change, running until February 22nd. We were also able to donate to Black Girls Code, an organization paving the way for women and girls in technology.
Below, we have included helpful information and resources to help honor Black History Month.
