This month, in Connect, Moving Ahead faculty member and DE&I expert, Holiday Phillips guides us through how to become an ally and educate ourselves about LGBTQIA+ issues. Here is what she recommends: 1. Fill in the blanks of your history, as in formal education, sometimes the lives and experiences of marginalised individuals are left out. 2. Open up conversations. Often, the fear of being intrusive stops us from learning about issues we don't know enough about. 3. Read books and watch films about LGBTQIA+ lives as they are an excellent window into people's lived experiences. 4. Consume media from LGBTQIA+ creators on other topics as this will allow you to see them as whole people with varied lives and develop empathy. 5. Go to a pride event and take the opportunity to immerse yourself in the community and celebration and while you are there, to share yourself.

As Black History Month comes to a close, it’s crucial we remember that the journey towards diversity, inclusion, and equality doesn't end here. It's a beacon for ongoing change, a reminder that every day is an opportunity to weave inclusivity into the fabric of our worlds. This month has shed light on the remarkable contributions and the unwavering resilience of the Black community. Yet, the conversation and actions towards equality must continue beyond this dedicated time. It's not just about looking back at how far we've come; it's about pushing forward, ensuring that our progress is not just momentary but embedded into our everyday lives. Especially important is recognizing the intersection of race and disabilities - a crucial aspect of the inclusivity conversation that often remains overshadowed. Persons with disabilities within the Black community face unique challenges, bridging gaps between race and disability rights that necessitate thoughtful, inclusive strategies. Creating a world full of inclusion means actively dismantling the barriers that exist at these intersections. It means advocating for accessible spaces both physically and mentally, promoting diverse hiring practices, and fostering environments where every voice is not only heard but valued. As we move forward, let's challenge ourselves and those around us to not confine our efforts to a month. Let's carry the torch of inclusion and diversity throughout the year, integrating these values into our actions, decisions, and interactions. Every step we take towards building a more inclusive world helps in constructing a reality where everyone, regardless of race or ability, can thrive. Let’s continue the work, continue the conversations, and continue to create a world that reflects the richness and diversity of all its members. Together, we can make inclusivity not just an initiative, but a core part of our existence. #DiversityAndInclusion #BlackHistoryMonth #InclusiveWorld #Intersectionality
