Black History Month is a time to celebrate and honor Black Culture as well as examine the Black experience in the United States. In this episode, our guests talk about what they and their companies are doing not only to recognize and celebrate Black History Month, but to reach BEYOND to create real change in black communities and progress in the equipment finance industry.
Join me and my co-host
Eboni Preston-Laurent, ELFA's Director of Diversity, Equity and
Inclusion as we talk to Tanisha Gordon-Flowers from Cisco, Joshua
Dickens from Arvest Equipment Finance, Lovern Gordon of the Black
Equipment Finance Network, and Jene Hill from DLL.
We hope you walk away inspired to join the movement to push the
industry forward!
