How will you contribute your excellence to the world?
Canadian Shawna Morrison defines Black Excellence as “an unapologetic state of greatness… of achieving success while maintaining dignity and integrity”.1 It can also mean showing up as you are and doing the best you can. All of us have the capacity to be excellent and the world needs us to be excellent.
