These four Core Values are the foundation of Blavity’s culture and identity and set the tone for our interactions with each other, partners, and clients:
We are committed to supporting and uplifting Black culture and creating an inclusive workplace where all individuals are valued and supported. We actively seek out opportunities to partner with minority-owned businesses and support Black-led initiatives.
We are dedicated to creating a culture of transparency and communication that builds trust and fosters accountability, and we encourage open and constructive dialogue at all levels of the organization.
By taking collective responsibility, we create a culture of accountability where each individual is empowered to take ownership of their work and to contribute to the success of the team.
We test our ideas quickly and without fear of failure, so that every misstep is a learning opportunity. By failing fast, we are able to course correct quickly and achieve our goals of innovation and growth more efficiently.
Lia’s pride in her work is evident in the way she actively involves the entire team in each project whether she’s meticulously crafting timelines or leading brainstorm sessions. She ensures that every voice is heard and that the work progresses in a dynamic and collaborative manner her dedication to maintaining high standards and driving the team towards success, shows her deep sense of ownership and everything she does.
Sydney's journey perfectly illustrates why we value failing fast. Despite being thrust into an unfamiliar role, she has shown remarkable resilience and adaptability. She approaches each day as a learning opportunity, isn't afraid to ask questions when unsure, and consistently seeks ways to improve. The most impressive aspect of Sydney's performance is that she hasn't just survived this challenge – she's thrived. Her ability to rapidly learn, adjust, and maintain high performance in both roles demonstrates exactly what we mean by 'failing fast' to achieve growth and innovation. She is truly deserving of this recognition.
Not only does Lauren have a business of her own but she continues to support local businesses around the Long Beach area and beyond. From her own recent project uplifting the voices of Black and Brown mothers, Lauren has been known to work with companies like NoName Book Club and Color Compton.
Courtney has multiple stakeholders across each business unit. To be effective, she tailors her communication for each division. For example, some stakeholders prefer a presentation format for status update while others prefer Asana directly. Either way Courtney is able to deliver and make sure key points are received effectively.
