Black Men of Google: Harmony

In a thriving community, there is harmony: a beautiful combination of unique chords and dynamic voices that create an unforgettable note. We believe that powerful things happen when Black voices come together. This year, in celebration of Black History Month, we shared the stories of three Black Googlers who use their voices to create one harmonious sound. Shah, Wilson, and Augustine walk us through where they’re from, their fears, and how they want to be remembered. They show us why lifting our voice can save both us and our communities. They courageously use curiosity, authenticity, and love to teach us that our unique experiences should never be over simplified; rather, they should be celebrated for all their complexities. During this year’s Black Men of Google Summit, we celebrated the beauty of Black stories by spotlighting their experiences and so many others. All of them — those featured and those not — are courageously using curiosity, authenticity, and love to not only lift as they climb, but to create a world we’re all proud to be a part of. These stories remind us that our unique experiences should never be over simplified; rather, they should be celebrated for all their complexities. Watch the film and discover why there is no voice like your own. #BlackMenAtGoogle Credits: Creative Agency: Creative Theory Agency Production Agency(s): Draulhaus Joe Public Production Crew: Producer: Steve Jones Director: Keenan Marshall DoP: John Cain Carney B-Cam Op: Taj DeVore-Bey Sound Mixer: Dom Zappalla Stylist: Cheyenne Jacobs 1st AC: Darby Irrgang 2nd AC: Taj DeVore-Bey Eqt: High Output, Resolution Rentals | Redstar Pictures, Videofax | Rebel Sun Gaffer: Jeremy Teran Key Grip: Marina Oney Production Assistant: Stephen Huh Location Coordinator: Caroline Carney Talent Coordinator: Caroline Carney Location: NotSoLatin Sound Design: Jolin Ras Group Graphics: Cheyenne Jacobs Talent: Mzamo Masito Augustine Wiah Wilson White & Family Shah Hill, Layla Brown Phillip Brown, Hasan S, Ayodele E, Gabriel B & special thanks to Philadelphia Boys Choir
