I spent time this week at a conversation hosted by the New York State Black Business Alliance on AI, held at Civic Hall in NYC, a unique space that feels built for exactly these kinds of discussions. Technology, policy, operators, founders all intersecting in one room. The session was delivered by Tanya Freeman, Esq. and a fireside chat with Gary Mann, was moderated by John Harmon, the visionary behind @nys_bba. It wasn’t hype-driven. It wasn’t fear-driven either. It was steady. The questions were practical: How do we accelerate growth without increasing regulatory exposure? Where does AI truly create operational value? How do we apply it responsibly across industries that are already complex? It felt like a room of adults having an adult conversation. In my world, whether we’re implementing ERP systems, facilitating executive retreats, or navigating cultural transformation, the issue is rarely the tool itself. It’s leadership readiness. Alignment. Governance. Discipline. AI will be no different. Technology amplifies whatever culture already exists. If your leadership is fragmented, it will expose that. If your values are unclear, it will test that. I also ran into a friend whose work centers on sound baths, and I smiled at the contrast. AI and sound healing seem worlds apart, yet both are about regulation, one of systems, the other of nervous systems. Both require intention. Both can be powerful when integrated responsibly. Civic Hall was the right setting for that reminder. Innovation is not just about speed. It’s about stewardship. #Leadership #AI #Governance #NYSBBA

Hard work alone isn’t always enough, and for women of colour, the gap can feel even wider. Abby Phillip recently shared something every young woman, especially women of colour, should hear: sometimes, no matter how hard you work, it’s not enough. That’s why relationships matter. Who you know, how you nurture those connections, and how strategically you use them can be the difference between being seen and being overlooked. Hard work opens doors, but relationships guide you through them. Visibility, opportunities, mentorship, these are rarely just a result of effort; they come from knowing how to show up and who to align with. The lesson: work hard, yes, but also build, maintain, and leverage your network intentionally. Your impact grows exponentially when effort meets connection. 📹: @argent #WomenOfColour #BlackHistoryMonth #Networking #Mentorship #CareerGrowth
