You don’t just want to support the business—you want to drive it. Here’s what you’ll work through:

  • Who’s this for?
    If you’re in HR, leading a team, or trying to break into comp — this is for you. Whether you’re building your skills or leveling up your strategy game, you’re in the right place.
  • Do I need to buy materials?
    Nope. Templates, tools, guides — it’s all included. No extra costs. No surprise upsells.
  • What if I miss a session?
    No worries. Every session is recorded and available for 90 days. Catch up when it works for you.
  • Do I need to be Black to attend?
    Nope. Black In HR is inclusive by design. While we center and celebrate Black professionals, everyone is welcome. Whether it’s our courses, bootcamps, coaching, or services—if you’re here to grow, we’re here for you.
  • Are the instructors legit?
    Very! Dr. Johnson has built comp strategies at Red Ventures, the Dallas Mavericks, and the NBA. You’re learning from someone who’s done the work — not just talked about it.
  • Are there office hours?
    Yes — and they’re fee-based. You can book 1:1 time for personalized support if you want it.
  • Is there a community?
    Absolutely. You’ll get access to a private space inside the Black In HR App where you can connect with your cohort, get feedback, ask questions, and share wins. It’s all in the app.
  • What do I get when I finish?
    A digital certification badge via Credly and a Capstone Project that proves you know your stuff. No fluff. Just receipts.
  • Do I have to show up live?
    Yep — both sessions are part of the full experience. But if life gets in the way, the replays are yours for 90 days.
