Google, as one of the world’s leading technology companies, has long been at the forefront of innovation and cultural influence. Yet, like many tech giants, the company has faced significant challenges regarding diversity and inclusion. Recognizing this, Google established the Black Googler Network (BGN), an internal group that has played a critical role in shaping the company’s approach to inclusion, particularly for Black employees. Through advocacy, mentorship, and community-building efforts, BGN has made significant strides in fostering an inclusive environment where Black Googlers can thrive.
The Black Googler Network: A Safe Space for Empowerment
Founded in 2006, the Black Googler Network serves as a community where Black employees can connect, share their experiences, and support one another. As Carla Harris, Vice Chairman of Wealth Management at Morgan Stanley, once noted:
"It's important to own your power and understand that you can have impact where you are, no matter the seat you sit in."
The Black Googler Network ensures that Black employees are empowered and have the platform to use their voices within a company as large and influential as Google.
Additionally, as civil rights icon Maya Angelou once said:
"I sustain myself with the love of family."
"BGN operates with this philosophy in mind, creating a sense of family and mutual support among its members. This fosters a deep connection that sustains Black employees both professionally and personally.
