这是我，马龙
我是马龙, the Vice-President of Supply Chain based out of Houston and I started with TC Energy just this past October. I am fortunate to work alongside so many amazing men and women to develop strategies and provide solutions to deliver enterprise outcomes.
My wife Jennifer and I have six kids – three girls and three boys – ranging from one year old up to 11 years old, 我上班时，詹妮弗在家教育她，照顾她. Neither of us grew up in large families so we both knew we wanted a large family of our own – being married and having children has not only changed my perspective, 但它给了我新的生活意义和目标. 在一天结束的时候, we all look out for each other and there’s never a dull moment in our household.
当我没有时间陪家人的时候, 我喜欢去健身房减压, 尝试在户外打高尔夫球或慢跑. I also spend a lot of time in the kitchen testing recipes from a variety of cuisines including favourite recipes passed down from my mom and grandparents. My wife and I also love to get out of the city and take the kids traveling to help them see different ways of life.
对我来说, Black History Month is a celebration and recognition of my heritage and an opportunity to honour and thank my ancestors who sacrificed so much to make this world a more inclusive place. 他们的韧性精神是有感染力的. 因为我妻子设计了他们的学校课程, we tailor the lessons to help our children understand the significance and importance of their heritage, 丰富的文化, 家族史和当前社会动态, 尤其是在黑人历史月.
Our kids are very curious about our heritage, and we don’t sugar coat or hide anything. I will openly share the experiences that I’ve had as an African American male because I want to help them better understand the complexities of our world so that they’re well-informed and educated.
It’s exciting to me that we’re having these conversations about inclusion, diversity and belonging within our business and that we’re creating a safe space to talk about the issues. 我们都有责任认识到这一点, appreciate and celebrate our differences – understanding the layers of diversity and figuring out how we can learn from each other.
