To be young, gifted and Black. We all know what its like to be told that there is not a place for you to be featured, said actor Chadwick Boseman during his 2019 SAG award speech with much of the main cast of the unparalleled 2018 hit Marvels Black Panther in tow. He echoed the anthemic lyrics of Nina Simones now iconic song as he channeled into words the feeling most of us as Black professionals and entrepreneurs experience as we work and create today: we could create a world that exemplified a world that we wanted to see. It's our pleasure at the Black EOE Journal to give you a place to be featured, a place where what matters to your careers and businesses can be put on display as both Black and excellent. Black and excellent - two words that perfectly describe Bosemans castmate and this issues cover, THE Angela Bassett. Bassett is a Hollywood elite and a feminist icon. Her titles include not only actor, but also author, director, producer, wellness advocate and activist. With well over 70 award recognitions and three decades worth of credits to her name, Bassett is a living legend who blazed her own path to stardom. I challenge us all to think about what our contributions to pushing humanity forward will be. What will you do to make sure that future generations exist in a world that is one of equality and equity? she asked. Read more on page 72.
