Every day, we walk onto construction sites with one goal in mind – get the job done safely. We take great pride in the role we play shaping the communities in which we live, work, and play. But even more than that, we feel an unwavering responsibility to one another, our families, and our friends to make sure we all return home safe every day.

In our industry, safety is not just a series of procedures and protocols, but a unified culture that empowers every person on the job site – from the craft professionals to project and business leaders – to recognize and act on any potential risk. We’re building the awareness of holistic safety, requiring a strong mind, strong body, and the right state of mind for every task, on every job, every day. That’s why more than 70 national and global construction firms join forces for Safety Week with a single aim: to provide the vision, insights, resources, and equipment standards to inspire everyone in the industry to be leaders in safety.

Safety Week is a show of force, an opportunity for people, companies, and even competitors, to work together and celebrate the incredibly hard work by people in our industry who make safety the foundation of everything they do.

Celebrate safety where you work and demonstrate your continued commitment to building a stronger, safer industry.

HSH also used this time to reflect on our summers, look ahead to the final quarter of the year, and debate how early is too early for pumpkin spice. Staff gathered in small groups to share accomplishments we’re proud of from this summer; our summer travel adventures; summer connections with coworkers outside of work; things we’re looking forward to this fall; things we want to accomplish in the last quarter of the year; and when should pumpkin spice items be dropped? The debate was fun and lively with a resounding consensus that, yes, August is too early to drop pumpkin spice!

Denisha presented on her personal journey from sports medicine to building a village focused on Black wealth. Her story begins in Trinidad, where being raised by her aunts and grandparents taught her valuable lessons regarding community. Her journey took her to Boston University for her bachelor’s degree and then Florida, where she worked with elite high school athletes and learned about persistence and focus from her students and their parents. This experience reminded her of her commitment to help those who most need it.

After moving back to Boston, Denisha launched the Our Village Initiative to help close the racial wealth gap. Their mission is “to increase the rate of homeownership in communities of color by creating and curating solutions to help you learn how to save, invest, and own your legacy.”

After the presentation, HSH staff were given the opportunity to ask questions, including how Denisha made the transition from sports medicine to social impact through real estate, challenges she has faced, lessons to those who are interested in helping their communities increase affordable housing, and what keeps her committed to her mission.

As part of the tour, staff explored the museum’s current exhibitions: Selections from the Collection and Jazz Scene in Boston: Telling the Local Story. The museum, “holds a collection of over 3,000 items accrued over fifty years. Selections from the Collection feature samples of historical artifacts and art collections providing a lens unique to the narrative of African-descended people, places, and events in America.” The visit concluded with a tour of the African Meeting House, which was once a church, a school, and community meeting place. The African Meeting House has been returned to its 1855 appearance through historic restoration and preservation and was a favorite for HSH staff.

Staff also appreciated learning more history about our office neighborhood and left the museum with valuable new knowledge. Another museum patron made a remark that resonated with many of the staff: “The Museum of African American History is much more than a collection of artifacts; it’s a window into a time when voices from the Boston community started a movement that changed our country. I learn something new every time I visit.”

Lehane’s other works include Shutter Island and Mystic River. He was also a writer for HBO’s The Wire and Boardwalk Empire. He has a knack for capturing turbulent moments and illustrating complex human emotions. Both talents are on display in The Given Day as his characters experience the social and political unrest of the period. Lehane was also born and raised in Dorchester, which sparked his interest in Boston History.

The Book Club members reflected on their experiences reading the book and the impact it had on them. Each member walked away with newfound interests in the events covered in the book. Some even tried desperately to find out whether some characters and minor events were based on facts. The Given Day is a captivating novel that brought out many emotions, and overall, a very entertaining pick to read over the holiday season.
