“But it is not bravery; I have no choice. I wake up and live my life. Don't you do the same?” And that’s what each of us do, including people with disabilities. It isn’t bravery it’s simply working with whatever one has got in best possible manner. Aria Mia Loberti, who is legally blind, walked the red carpet of Golden Globes with her guide dog, making Globes history. Casting a blind person in a movie to play a blind character is one thing, giving a platform of Golden Globe to the person for her great performance is absolutely GREAT. No, it is not great; it is basic/obvious/logical, like in case of any other performer. Atleast this once, Golden Globe ‘walk the talk’ We have a collective responsibility to ensure that equal opportunities are given to all of us without discrimination. That our infrastructure supports every individual. We as a society have to ensure that each one of us feel comfortable even in our disabilities in public domain or in this case the coveted red carpet. We all know what are the right things to do but are we actually doing those things? In words of Verna Myers- Diversity is being invited to the party; inclusion is being asked to dance. #goldenglobes #inclusion #diversity #diversityandinclusion #disability #celebratetogether

As we celebrate #PrideMonth, it's essential to remember that being an ally doesn't end when June does. True allyship means standing with the LGBTQIA+ community year-round, advocating for equality, and fostering inclusive environments where everyone feels valued and respected. Here are a few ways to practice allyship all year long: +Listen and Learn: Hear the stories and experiences of LGBTQIA+ individuals. Understanding their perspectives can help us become better allies. +Speak Up: Challenge discriminatory remarks or actions, whether in the workplace or elsewhere. Silence can be interpreted as acceptance. +Support LGBTQIA+ Organizations: Volunteer your time or donate to causes that advocate for LGBTQIA+ rights and well-being. +Create Inclusive Spaces: Whether at work, home, or in social settings, strive to create environments where everyone feels safe and included. Let's make allyship more than just a moment—let's make it a movement! #Allyship #Pride2024 #EqualityForAll #InclusionMatters #LGBTQ #LGBT #LGBTQIA2+

Fostering inclusion and safe spaces is vital in all communities absolutely love that we have this safe space here in the ACT. https://lnkd.in/gx_R7eMx

Allyship starts with a belief in equality. But that's just the beginning. It means leaning into acceptance of lived experiences. Actively fighting against oppression. Truly understanding your own privilege and using it to stand with and for others so that we all benefit from the steps toward equality. There's always been purposeful effort by Mediavine team members to make sure we can all show up exactly as who we are and be accepted wholly. It's my very favorite thing about the place we have built. #pride #socialimpact #equity #equality

Economics is all around us! Choosing to take a lump sum today or an annual annuity is economics and requires economic thinking! Happy Bobby Bonilla Day. Read more at https://lnkd.in/eJZwr3Pp

I was absolutely honored to be able to contribute to Eptura's most recent blog about the importance of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, & Belonging in the workplace.

Though Pride Month is meant to be a celebratory month, we would be remiss if we didn't hold space for the constant threats to BIPOC queer lives in this country and in our sport. With that said, awareness is not enough–we need action! Here's a list of some actionable items you can take: 📌 Ask questions, and do your own research. 📌 Recognize your privilege and use it for good. 📌 Take your online activism into real-life scenarios. 📌 Speak up for the underrepresented. 📌 Follow the lead of your LGBTQIA+ peers and organizations. We also encourage you to take time to facilitate meaningful conversations about making the running industry and run communities safer and more inclusive for BIPOC queer runners. And, check out this RIDC blog post that highlights historic LGBTQIA+ figures. ➡️ https://loom.ly/pw1fX4I #PrideMonth #Running4Diversity
