We’re living in a time where equity, justice, and inclusion aren’t just trending terms, they’re necessary for real progress. And Dr. Alaysia Black Hackett isn’t just ready for this moment, she’s redefining it.
Appointed by President Joe Biden as the inaugural Chief Diversity and Equity Officer at the U.S. Department of Labor, Dr. Hackett stands at the helm of a movement to reshape federal workforce systems. Her mission is clear: to embed justice and normalize equity across government agencies, transforming the policies and institutions that directly impact millions of lives. It’s a historic appointment, and one that reflects her lifelong commitment to ensuring opportunity is not limited by race, gender, or background.
But her leadership doesn’t stop there. As CEO of ABH Solutions, LLC, Dr. Hackett leads a forward-thinking consulting firm rooted in sustainable change, global strategy, and community-centered results. Whether she’s advising federal agencies or grassroots organizations, her approach is grounded in impact and intentionality.
She also serves as a Congressional Commissioner, championing initiatives to uplift Black men and boys across the nation. Her work in this space is deeply personal and profoundly necessary, as she helps shape policies and programs that dismantle cycles of systemic exclusion.
With over two decades of experience in higher education, state governance, and national leadership, Dr. Hackett brings a rare combination of grassroots connection and global vision. She has helped develop equity action plans across more than 100 federal agencies, creating scalable frameworks for inclusion that will influence generations to come.
Her leadership is not only professional, it is profoundly personal. From her small-town roots to the highest levels of federal service, Dr. Hackett’s journey is one of resilience, vision, and legacy. She embodies what it means to be a feminine force of change, someone doing both the internal and external work necessary to heal, build, and lead.
When it comes to seeking answers to complex societal challenges, Dr. Alaysia Black Hackett offers more than solutions, she offers a new standard for leadership. One that’s bold. One that’s rooted. And one that ensures no community is left behind.
She is not just a leader of today, she is shaping the future.
