OUR STORY - OUR LEGACY

BHM Mindful Monday Session

We all know, corporate life can be hectic as it is filled with unforeseen commitments and deadlines. In this hustle, you often become disconnected from your inner self. Not knowing how essential it is to reconnect with oneself and stay connected to ensure your success within AT&T and your overall well-being. Our health is our number one priority!


Join us for three sessions in February to clear our mind and B.R.E.A.T.H.E!


Break habits that don’t serve us

Remember things we are grateful for

Ease our bodies

Allow ourselves to slow down

Take a moment to relax

Hush the negative voices

Ease our minds

AT&T's Barbershop Conversations

This month, as we recognize and celebrate the contributions of African Americans and Black individuals throughout history, it is crucial to celebrate those leaders who are currently making a difference in these communities. Join us as we continue to address issues like mental health advocacy, mentorship, and community engagement that predominately affect black and brown communities. In the latest edition of AT&T’s Barbershop Conversation, we travel to Houston, Texas, in a unique and intimate environment, that gave space for the fostering of insightful and impactful discussions. The barbershop, much like these conversations, continues to serve as a potent platform for positive change and development in the black community.

 

This episode is sure to be riveting and enlightening, encouraging dialogue and inspiring future generations.
