February 8, 2021In recognition of Black History Month, we asked some of our colleagues to share a special part of their own Black history through a favorite artifact or family heirloom.

In the second part of a weekly series that will run throughout February, we hear from three McKinsey colleagues on the small family traditions that have had an outsize impact on their lives—and how they’re keeping them alive through a new generation.
