How has your firm celebrated BHM? Seems like it was completely forgotten and budgets cut yet the Lunar New Year is still being celebrated in the offices.

It feels like we've lost some of the momentum we'd gained. It's all about the bottom line now for us.

That’s actually pretty interesting observation that I didn’t pick up on. I will say are the people in charge of the black diversity group pushing it and it is know as a budget issue or was no one taking charge of it? I know my firm had like one event but don’t think it cost anything and ya Lunar New Year had food and stuff

We originally had a budget assigned for BHM but then it was cut however the Asian resource groups are still able to host their events with food. It doesn’t feel right and almost nothing at all has been mentioned about BHM except on our internal sites and a sprinkle or two on linked in. Yet you can see Lunar new year lunches, decorations and celebrations happening in almost all offices. I can tell the difference in how people show up for different events and it’s a bit disheartening. Wasn’t sure if this was a shared experience across firms since last year there were more events and it felt celebrated vs this year where it is almost completely ignored.

I agree. I get that it’s busy season but how do you promote DE&I all year but forget all about BHM?! I am sure there will be more attention to international women’s month. I’ll give an update next month if I’m right (I’m hoping that I’m wrong)
