🌈 Celebrating Pride Month!
One of my favourite times on LinkedIn 🌈
I love seeing what organisations are doing to recognise and support the LGBTQI+ community, to reflect on the progress we’ve made, and to recognize the work that still needs to be done.
Diversity, equity and inclusion are not just buzzwords but essential ingredients for a thriving workplace.
If you’re an ally like me and don’t know how to get involved, I would suggest starting with just x3 things:
1. Take the time to learn stuff: Understanding the history and struggles of the LGBTQI+ community is crucial. Learn by googling or inviting your colleagues and friends to share.
2. Support: Encourage open conversations and offer support. Even just say, happy Pride month!
3. Celebrate: Whether its participating in Pride events, wearing a badge or lanyard, showcasing LGBTIQI+ stories or turning up to that morning tea – your visibility and action counts.
And do it authentically. I love to see organisations celebrate love, diversity, and the diverse spectrum of human experience and may it continue beyond June always! 🏳️🌈❤️
