The Hispanic Promise

admin

January 13, 2023

Equity, diversity, and inclusion activist Claudia Romo Edelman says inclusion is the key to creating equity for Hispanics.

In the latest episode of the video series AHA! Moments for Diversity & Inclusion, SAP Chief Diversity & Inclusion Officer Supriya Jha talks to Romo Edelman about how personal experience and a desire to safeguard her daughter’s future has resulted in 300 global corporations signing the Hispanic Promise, a pledge to recruit, retain, and promote Hispanics.

We Are All Human</a> to advance equity through diversity and inclusion, as well as the <a href="https://hispanicstar.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hispanic Star</a> to elevate and empower Hispanics, the largest and fastest growing ethnic minority in the United States.</p> <p>“I lived my entire life as a happy Mexican,” she recalls, until, after 25 years in Europe, she moved to the United States and heard, for the first time, that she was not (just) a Mexican or a Mexican-Swiss but a Hispanic – that is, a person living in the United States who is descended from Spanish-speaking people.</p> <p>Initially, being Hispanic seemed amazing to her. Judging by the number of Hispanics living in United States – the largest ethnic minority – she thought she would no longer be in a minority. But she “didn’t see the red carpet anywhere,” recalls Romo Edelman.</p> <p>Her ‘AHA’ moment came when she realized that her Hispanic daughter would face discrimination in the workplace, likely earning far less than her U.S. counterparts. Wanting her daughter to graduate and get a job in a society where being Hispanic is a positive and not a negative, Romo Edelman decided to focus her energy, experience, and expertise on her own community, creating Hispanic Star, a foundation to promote Hispanic inclusion.</p> <p>Romo Edelman’s approach to Hispanic inclusion is threefold, comprising the Hispanic Star Fund, the Hispanic Star, and the Hispanic Promise. The Hispanic Promise, of which SAP was one of the first signatories, is a corporate pledge to recruit, retain, and promote Hispanics; the Hispanic Star is a brand to represent Hispanic unity and pride; and the Hispanic Star Fund allows companies to donate to causes important to the Hispanic community.</p> <p>Romo Edelman says that the journey to equity for Hispanics is about recognizing their distinct roots and cultures, and that the “Hispanic Star” is one of many stars that make up the United States. “There is no one seat at the table because there’s no table. There’s only a country full of opportunities for everybody to be able to shine,” she says.</p> <p>Original Article: <br /><a target="blank" href="https://news.sap.com/2023/01/the-hispanic-promise-aha-moments/">https://news.sap.com/2023/01/the-hispanic-promise-aha-moments/</a></p>  </div> <footer> <div class="td-block-row td-post-next-prev"> <div class="td-block-span6 td-post-prev-post"> <div class="td-post-next-prev-content"> <span>Previous article</span> <a href="https://solution-is-here.com/news/1673537401636/">SAP to Release Fourth Quarter and Year-End 2022 Results</a> </div> </div> <div class="td-next-prev-separator"></div> <div class="td-block-span6 td-post-next-post"> <div class="td-post-next-prev-content"> <span>Next article</span> <a href="https://solution-is-here.com/news/1673620201730/">SAP and AWS Collaborate to Accelerate Demand and Digital Transformation for Customers</a> </div> </div> </div>  <div class="author-box-wrap"> <a href="https://solution-is-here.com/author/admin/"> <img alt='' src='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/1c795a5dbd397613aa8e80b3786b15a9?s=96&d=mm&r=g' srcset='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/1c795a5dbd397613aa8e80b3786b15a9?s=192&d=mm&r=g 2x' class='avatar avatar-96 photo' height='96' width='96' loading='lazy'/> </a> <div class="desc"> <div class="td-author-name vcard author"><span class="fn"> <a href="https://solution-is-here.com/author/admin/">admin</a> </span></div> <div class="td-author-url"><a href="http://ec2-34-253-103-233.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com">http://ec2-34-253-103-233.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com</a></div> <div class="td-author-description"> </div> <div class="clearfix"></div> </div> </div> </footer> </div> </article> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div>  <div class="tdc-footer-wrap ">   <div class="td-sub-footer-container td-container-wrap "> <div class="td-container"> <div class="td-pb-row"> <div class="td-pb-span td-sub-footer-menu"> <div class="menu-main-menu-container"><ul id="menu-main-menu-2" class="td-subfooter-menu"><li class="menu-item menu-item-type-taxonomy menu-item-object-post_tag menu-item-first td-menu-item td-normal-menu menu-item-14015"><a href="https://solution-is-here.com/tag/4hana/">SAP S/4HANA</a></li> <li class="menu-item menu-item-type-taxonomy menu-item-object-post_tag td-menu-item td-normal-menu menu-item-14004"><a href="https://solution-is-here.com/tag/abap/">SAP ABAP</a></li> <li class="menu-item menu-item-type-taxonomy menu-item-object-post_tag td-menu-item td-normal-menu menu-item-14013"><a href="https://solution-is-here.com/tag/integration/">SAP Integration</a></li> <li class="menu-item menu-item-type-taxonomy menu-item-object-post_tag td-menu-item td-normal-menu menu-item-14007"><a href="https://solution-is-here.com/tag/c4c/">SAP C4C</a></li> <li class="menu-item menu-item-type-taxonomy menu-item-object-post_tag td-menu-item td-normal-menu menu-item-14008"><a href="https://solution-is-here.com/tag/sap-cloud-platform/">SAP Cloud Platform</a></li> <li class="menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-has-children td-menu-item td-normal-menu menu-item-14020"><a href="#">More</a> <ul class="sub-menu"> <li class="menu-item menu-item-type-taxonomy menu-item-object-post_tag td-menu-item td-normal-menu menu-item-14011"><a href="https://solution-is-here.com/tag/s-4hana/">SAP ERP</a></li> <li class="menu-item menu-item-type-taxonomy menu-item-object-post_tag td-menu-item td-normal-menu menu-item-14010"><a href="https://solution-is-here.com/tag/crm/">SAP CRM</a></li> <li class="menu-item menu-item-type-taxonomy menu-item-object-post_tag td-menu-item td-normal-menu menu-item-14005"><a href="https://solution-is-here.com/tag/ariba/">SAP Ariba</a></li> <li class="menu-item menu-item-type-taxonomy menu-item-object-post_tag td-menu-item td-normal-menu menu-item-14009"><a href="https://solution-is-here.com/tag/commerce-cloud/">SAP Commerce Cloud</a></li> <li class="menu-item menu-item-type-taxonomy menu-item-object-post_tag td-menu-item td-normal-menu menu-item-14006"><a href="https://solution-is-here.com/tag/bydesign/">SAP Business ByDesign</a></li> <li class="menu-item menu-item-type-taxonomy menu-item-object-post_tag td-menu-item td-normal-menu menu-item-14012"><a href="https://solution-is-here.com/tag/fiori/">SAP Fiori</a></li> <li class="menu-item menu-item-type-taxonomy menu-item-object-post_tag td-menu-item td-normal-menu menu-item-14014"><a href="https://solution-is-here.com/tag/marketing-cloud/">SAP Marketing Cloud</a></li> <li class="menu-item menu-item-type-taxonomy menu-item-object-post_tag td-menu-item td-normal-menu menu-item-14016"><a href="https://solution-is-here.com/tag/successfactors/">SAP SuccessFactors</a></li> </ul> </li> </ul></div> </div> <div class="td-pb-span td-sub-footer-copy"> © SAPIN APP.
