UM Worldwide
\nTo celebrate Black History Month, UM will be hosting \u2018Ginger & Soul\u2019 as part of our \u2018Real Talk\u2019 panel series that delves into the hard truths about race and culture in America. This month\u2019s discussion will highlight the intersection of R&B and Afrobeats \u2013 specifically the influence of Afrobeats, a community that has largely been overlooked for its contributions to music and culture.<\/p>\n
This year\u2019s Black History Month is also the first time UM is rolling out its latest diversity, equity and belonging initiative, \u2018Together at the table\u2019, a roundtable discussion and safe space for UMers to peel back layers on topics that go beyond the workplace \u2013 like family, finance and mental health \u2013 that impact not only how they show up professionally, but also in their communities.<\/p>\n
