We wanted to be victorious,\u201d says Roger Floyd, George Floyd\u2019s uncle. \u201cWhat the family wants to do is to change the narrative to how we can impact the lives of others.\u201d In the twelve months since May 25, 2020, when George Floyd was murdered by Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, Floyd\u2019s family has established the George Floyd Memorial Center, a Raleigh-based nonprofit that aims to promote and nurture social change. Why Raleigh? Because George Floyd was born nearby -- in Fayetteville, N.C. -- and several of his family members live in the Triangle area, including his uncle, Roger. Do something good for someone else Through merchandise sales and donations to the center, the Floyd family and its supporters are raising money for several community initiatives, including scholarships and job training for Black youth, a Museum for Urbanistic Art, and a Leadership Academy. Advocates also want the center to be a place where people of differing backgrounds can come to learn more about George Floyd and the movement he sparked.\u00a0 \u201cThat was a world awakening. The world saw [what] Black America has been talking about for hundreds of years,\u201d says Roger Floyd, Chief Impact Officer for the nonprofit. \u201cThere\\'s more engagement now in dialogue, in talking about it.\u201d This year, that pivotal moment is being remembered as the Day of Enlightenment. The center has planned commemorative events, and the family is asking the public for one thing only: do something good for someone else on that day.\u00a0 \u201cLook at it as the beginning,\u201d says Roger Floyd. \u201cHow has George Floyd changed you? How has George Floyd changed a community, a city, a state, a country, a world? How has this tragedy, how has it impacted your life?\u201d\u00a0 \u201cWhat are you going to do about it to make a difference?\u201d\u00a0 Now, perhaps more than ever, so many people are asking themselves that question. Whether they\u2019re asking at home or at work, the answer is the same: dig in, and educate yourself.\u00a0 Progress begins with personal learning In the business community, DEI training, team workshops, and\/or empathy-building exercises are valuable ways to promote trust and create safe spaces for personal learning. These efforts don\u2019t only boost employee satisfaction, says Floyd, who owned an insurance agency for many years, they also boost customer satisfaction.\u00a0 An inclusive environment and a service attitude -- infused with compassion and a sense of fairness --\u00a0 helps everyone feel both welcome and appreciated. \u201cIt\\'s about the fiduciary responsibility you have as a business to take care of your customers,\u201d he says. \u201cThat\\'s what a relationship is all about. I can trust you. I believe you.\u201d In the workplace, it\u2019s sometimes difficult to know if and how you should dive into these conversations, and it can be challenging to establish the trust that is necessary for real inclusion and cultural change. A third-party consultant can help to kickstart those conversations and put you on the path to improved workplace equity and a better bottom line.\u00a0 When you need help cultivating inclusive change, The Diversity Movement is ready to help.
