Listen to Black American Akim St. Omer — born and raised and residing in Brooklyn, New York — whose grandparents migrated from Trinidad to Brooklyn in the 1960s/1970s talk about how working during the Covid-19 pandemic “has been the most challenging yet rewarding times professionally” for him. He shares about the “importance of being comfortable with change and being able to pivot” and about how his work shifted in 2020 after George Floyd’s murder when his organization asked him to co-chair an equity task force, which lead him to become the Director of Diversity at his organization.
