I believe that creating a culture of inclusion and belonging is essential not only during PRIDE month but every single day.
We all hear this statement….but…
it is so important that we truly do this.
When we all strive to do our best to ensure fairness and kindness, we can truly make our world a better place.
Supporting and uplifting colleagues, relatives, neighbors and friends with diverse backgrounds is for me about more than just acceptance—it's about engaging and doing what you can to build an environment where everyone can thrive.
Those that know me well know I love Umbrellas ☂️. Just as an ☂️ provides shelter from the elements, an ☂️can offer BELONGING, protection, comfort, and a safe space for individuals to be their authentic selves.
Please join in and “Be an ☂️” when you see there is an individual or group of people who need support. Your ☂️ can give every person, regardless of their identity shelter and support.
We all have a role to play and here are simple things we can all do that can make a difference:
💡 Listen and Learn about the experiences and challenges individuals are facing.
💡 Raise Your Voice to challenge discrimination and advocate for inclusive behaviors and practices.
💡 Create Safe Spaces and ensure that our workplaces and communities are safe and welcoming for everyone!
💡 Honor the uniqueness each person brings.
Just like an ☂️ that provides shelter for all beneath it, our collective efforts can create a safe and inclusive space for everyone.
🏳️🌈❤️ ☂️
