Ever been underestimated, underrepresented, not included at the table? This is a common theme expressed by people of color, women, and other diverse professionals. In celebration of Black History month, we showcased leaders from a range of industries (tech, media…) and business sizes (startups, SMEs, and beyond). They shared their valuable experiences about how they paved their own way when opportunities were not made available to them… and, how you can too.

Kwanza Jones joins Adam Walker, host of Susan G Komen’s Real Pink Podcast to discuss unique breast cancer challenges within the African American community. She addresses the importance of sharing and openly communicating health issues amongst loved ones. When we remove shame and start to normalize important health conversations, we can build a strong support system and in turn, help save more lives.

Will you accomplish your 2020 resolutions? Research has shown that only 8% of people accomplish their New Year’s Resolutions.

Through small breakout sessions with SUPERCHARGED Boost Igniters and a workshop guided by our founder and CEO Kwanza Jones, participants grew their goal-getting toolkit so they won’t have to sit on the sidelines and watch the 8% celebrate their success with resolutions. They’ve got what it takes to become the 8%.

We SUPERCHARGED our joy this holiday season by celebrating with our Boost Friends at our December community event.

Thank you to everyone who attended the event and donated to our toy drive. We were able to donate 50 toys for Toys for Tots — a program run by the US Marine Corps that aims to help bring the joy of Christmas to less fortunate children.

We partnered with Marieclare Sia of LIVBRV for this month’s community event: Level Up Your Gratitude Mindset.

Marieclare led everyone through a 45-minute high energy workout followed by a 15-minute gratitude-focused meditation and Shavasana. The event benefited The Trevor Project — the leading national organization providing crisis intervention and suicide prevention services to LGBTQ youth under 25.

Our October Community event was hosted by Jody Jacobs: Master Trainer, Product Development and Programming Lead at SUPERCHARGED. Jody moderated an open discussion with the audience and shared tools and tips, helping participants to stop being spooked when it comes to adulting. Everyone in attendance was encouraged to fill out our Cards for a Cause. For every message written, SUPERCHARGED donated $5 to that organization. This event was in partnership with some amazing sponsors: WRRAP, The Trevor Project, RAINN, Girls Inc., Dress For Success and Boys & Girls Club.
