@Lavada: Yes, beautiful quote!

What an amazing quote! Great leaders inspire.

Eric always drops knowledge! Such a brilliant, savvy and compassionate leader.

That story gives me chills. Such a traumatic experience.

Eric is a phenomenal leader and a great person! Someone I look up to and respect tremendously at J&J : )

Yes that letter was emotional and eye opening Eric. Thanks for sharing those experiences with us.

@Artea, Agree 100%. He is also so Humble. We are blessed to have him around.

Eric's strength and perseverance is amazing.

Eric is an authentic leader at J&J. He champions for African Americans at the company to bring light to these truths and ensure the voices of African Americans are heard!

Jealous of you guys who get to work with him!

"Find your sphere of influence and influence that positively." Words that reverberate. Thank you very much for your influence at J&J.

I can’t imagine what you went through as a black man in corporate America. Your story is so inspirational

Me too PAtricia!

@Danielle -- Yes! I copied that quote down, too. <3

“To lead people, walk beside them ...As for the best leaders, the people do not notice their existence.The next best, the people honor and praise.The next, the people fear; and the next, the people hate ...When the best leader's work is done the people say,We did it ourselves!”― Lao Tzu

@Lavada - Thank you for sharing the full passage. <3

It's truly an honor to have been recruited into the J&J family by Eric. He's a great leader!

I love that Eric has found ways to "Do well by doing good." Don't have to be in a non-profit to truly make the world a better place and help your fellow human beings.

#JNJPRIDE :)

We need to wrap up and end after this.

Allies: This month there are tons of sales on Black History and anti-racism books, including audio books! (e.g., https://www.chirpbooks.com/collections/black-history-month) If you hit the limit of your budget, check out your library. If your org doesn't have Employee Resource Groups, start your own and/or join a MeetUp.

Thank you for the meeting

THANK YOU for sharing your journey!

Thank you Eric!
