“This event was more than a moment. It was a movement. And the job’s not finished.”
This February, four NIKE teammates immersed themselves in the “Path to Progress” event in Washington D.C., an inspiring celebration of the milestone fourth year of NIKE’s Black Community Commitment (BCC).
One of them was the teammate quoted above: Nakiah Williams, a Nike Athlete Experience (NAX) Trainer in New York City. Over two days, Williams had the opportunity to listen in on a series of panel conversations highlighting the work and impact of BCC grantees, participate in a special tour of the National Museum of African American History and Culture and more.
“The BCC is helping to create a new narrative for the Black Community,” says Williams. “As a Nike employee, and as a leader within our Black Employee Network, I live, work and volunteer in the same communities we’re serving through the BCC. We're working firsthand to create that same narrative for change. You can’t help but be inspired by our future when you’re surrounded by the fearless ones, the change agents and the storytellers from the BCC grantees and the Nike, Jordan, and Converse Social & Community Impact teams.”
