Pride Month has finished, but you should still make it clear that you support such causes! 🏳️🌈 With any inclusive global event, it's so vital that, as a brand and thought leader, you make a statement that you are in support of its message. 🙌 Not only do you signal to your team that you are in favour of equality, but it'll stand out to your current and potential customers or clients who feel passionate about such values. Remember, when a company is silent, that silence becomes a message. 🤐 Therefore, shout from the rooftops about your support for important, world-transforming causes. This way, those who follow you will get to know you, your ethos and your beliefs. What did you do to showcase your support for Pride last month? 👇

Does Pride Month make you uncomfortable? At first this made me smile but then if I look beyond my flippant reaction, this isn’t what I want at all. If Pride Month makes you uncomfortable, what I want is for you to ask yourself why? What business is it of ours who people love and how people identify? Why would we do anything other than embrace and accept it? Progress happens when we question and challenge ourselves, not from insulting those who feel uncomfortable. Let’s seek to understand and embrace difference. Our Pride Alliance have planned a month of events to educate, to celebrate and to engage allies. I can’t wait to listen and learn. Here’s to a Pride month filled will curiosity. We have much more in common than that which separates us. #pride #pridemonth #diversityequityandinclusion #embracedifference #belonging #dei

Pride Month is a powerful reminder of the courage it takes to be authentically yourself. It’s about standing up and standing out, not just for a moment, but every day. As we celebrate Pride, let's remember that true diversity goes beyond a multicolored logo—it’s about embracing and supporting each other in our unique journeys. In a world that often pushes for conformity, being yourself is an act of bravery. It’s about honoring your true self and encouraging others to do the same. This authenticity is what makes our communities vibrant and strong. Standing for diversity means creating spaces where everyone feels valued and heard. It’s about fostering an environment where differences are celebrated, and where everyone can thrive. This commitment to diversity isn’t just good for individuals; it’s essential for the growth and success of our communities and workplaces. Let’s not just celebrate Pride this month, but every day. Let’s commit to being allies, to listening, learning, and advocating for a world where everyone can be their true selves without fear. Here’s to the courage to stand up, stand out, and truly stand for diversity. Happy Pride Month! �� #Pride #Authenticity #Diversity #Inclusion #Community #CelebratePride

Being misgendered daily is exhausting. This Pride Month, not a day has gone by where this hasn't been the case. It’s a constant reminder that I am not being seen for who I truly am. Each time it happens, I’m faced with the uncomfortable dilemma: do I correct the person and risk confrontation, or do I let it slide and compromise my sense of self? Pronouns are more than just words; they’re an essential part of our identities. When someone uses the correct pronouns, it’s a simple yet powerful way of showing respect and recognition. It acknowledges who we are and affirms our place in the world. As we celebrate the progress made during Pride Month, let’s not forget that there is still work to be done. Let’s make a conscious effort to use correct pronouns, to listen and learn from each other, and to create spaces where everyone feels valued and respected.

Today, I stand as an ally, but tomorrow I may require allyship, and the day after, I might unintentionally contribute to exclusion. It is crucial to genuinely embody allyship, not merely for appearances. Just finished "Becoming an Ally to All" by Kenji Yoshino!

What a coincidence to get this course suggestion on allyship while we welcome the month of pride to accept each and everyone of us in the way we are. There has always been a question. Is pride month necessary? why can't we normalise it throughout the year instead of celebrating in a month? In the recent conversation, I got this well equipped point of view from one of my peers. "Let's celebrate pride month till when we don't feel the difference between days in a pride month and our regular day" which I really felt sane. Albeit getting the understanding of allyship through courses, it is much more important to practice the essence of it by supporting one another, the world witnesses better version of itself when we action the allyship in our day to day life. Being an ally enhances the sense of inclusivity and advances the culture of inclusion. Not an oath, but a responsibilty of an individual! outlining in a way I came across in this course of allyship. Let's be an upstander not a bystander to oppose the unacceptable words or action and raise against it as a combatant. Let's play the role of a confidant ally to be the safe place for people to get heard and listened without getting judged. Let's be a sponsor by providing vocal support to boost the credibility and reputation of an individual. Lets ensure that a fair opportunity is provided to hear the voice of everyone in the forum where we are being a part by playing the role of an amplifier. Let's be whatever we are and let's go beyond wherever we could to create the better inclusive place for every one to thrive in their way of living. Let's embrace the variations and differences in us and cherish humanity! " Never be bullied in silence, never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life. Define yourself" - Harvey Fierstein. If we don't take a call to be an upstander, soon we will become a victim. Be the reason for someone's smile not their tears! Be the change and bring the change!

Why are we bad at celebrating? Celebrating has become a lost art. Often, we're immediately moving onto the next goal, achievement, or project without pausing to reflect on how far we've come. This never-ending cycle can leave us anxious, depressed, and burnt out. Taking the time to celebrate is imperative to fostering a mindset of gratitude in all things. Celebrating achievements fuels motivation and creates a healthier mindset for everyone. Hear more about how to celebrate well ➡️ https://lnkd.in/gg3tXHHH

As we approach Pride Month, I want to share a personal milestone that has shaped my journey and contributed to the person I am today. In June 2019, I made the decision to come out while still in school, a choice that has profoundly influenced my growth and authenticity. Embracing Authenticity: Coming out allowed me to embrace my authentic self fully. It was a moment of self-discovery and acceptance that transformed not only how I viewed myself but also how I interacted with the world around me. Embracing who we are without reservation is key to personal and professional fulfillment. Building Resilience: The journey of coming out, especially in a school environment, taught me invaluable lessons in resilience and courage. It strengthened my ability to navigate challenges with authenticity and integrity, qualities that are fundamental in both personal and professional realms. Fostering Inclusivity: My experience highlighted the importance of creating inclusive spaces where individuals can be their true selves without fear of judgment or discrimination. Inclusion isn’t just about policies; it’s about fostering a culture of respect and acceptance that celebrates diversity in all its forms. Driving Positive Change: Embracing my identity has empowered me to advocate for diversity, equity, and inclusion in every aspect of my life. It’s a reminder that our differences are strengths that enrich our communities and drive positive change. Looking Forward: As we celebrate Pride Month and reflect on the journey of self-discovery and acceptance, I am grateful for the support and understanding that have shaped my path. Let’s continue to champion authenticity, inclusivity, and respect in all our endeavors. Join me in celebrating Pride Month and the power of authenticity in shaping meaningful journeys and driving positive change! #PrideMonth #Authenticity #Inclusion #Diversity #Resilience
