Being active in promoting and collaborating with people of black heritage to realign and level the playing field, while also highlighting an often- overlooked community, we can all play a part in the advancement of the black community. How about taking a moment to have a dialogue with those around you and ask directly how they can be supported?” Richard Butler (He/His/Him) Portfolio Analyst Allianz Global Investors Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Report 2022 29
