Black Futures Are Designed, Not Discovered. This Black History Month, I am reminded that progress has never been accidental, and that Black Futures Month demands intention.

Black leaders have always made something out of necessity. Whether in business, education, health, or labor, we’ve led innovation not for recognition, but for survival.
