Black Onyx Management is Black-owned applied research firm and management consultancy, that believes the journey of diversity, equity and inclusion is an intentional decision informed by empathy, a commitment to learning and a desire to change. We work with organizations to leverage their strengths while empowering Black communities. Through research, best practices, and data analysis, we have identified key performance indicators (KPIs) that will hold us accountable to our goals and the community.
“Allies Make Statements. Accomplices Take Action.”
The overarching goal is to make our communities better places to live, work and do business. We believe that diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) is a corporate responsibility. Therefore, Accompliceship in Action is not just a DEI program. Our plan will be breaking down silos and integrating corporate social responsibility (CSR), DEI, procurement, HR, finance and marketing & sales efforts as a cross-functional and community collaboration.

Ready to take Action?
Being an ally is good. Being an accomplice is better. To address systemic racism and make real, equitable changes in our communities we need more accomplices.
This plan will take a positive, yet firm approach to push companies out of their comfort zone while striving for more accountability in these four key areas. Your first act as an accomplice for good is to take the pledge. One hundred companies executing simultaneously throughout this pledge is a powerful force that will hold us more accountable and help us reach our goals at a higher level.
