Rhonda Broussard spent two decades performing with West African dance groups in her free time. She would wait around all year for gigs — until February when her calendar was jammed.
“In Black History Month you get all the calls,” she said.
Now Ms. Broussard runs a diversity, equity and inclusion organization, in New Orleans, called Beloved Community. Starting last year, she has insisted her staff take February as a paid month off. As Beloved has been inundated with work, Ms. Broussard has been focused on giving her own team the time to rest.
