The past month has been quite busy in the best way possible! Finally making my way to LinkedIn to share these experiences - Last month, I had the opportunity to attend the #DiversifyNordicsSummit (thankful to Salzburg Global Seminar for providing this fully funded opportunity). Words cannot describe how powerful it was to meet Chisom Udeze that brought so much intentionality to this space, bringing together some of the most impactful people I’m grateful to have met. DEI was not just a buzz word in this space- it was truly felt and seen through the smallest of actions in the conference itself, to the speakers that shared their authentic voices. I am so grateful to have learned more about the Saami community through Áslat Holmberg’s keynote and the dedication in building global solidarity. My colleagues André Gorba Biveti and Faye Hobson also did an amazing job during their panel on misinformation in modern democracies, a pressing topic as we see the impact free speech has on some of today’s most critical issues. I also enjoyed listening to my colleague Helin Herlbauer during her panel on sexual harassment and GBV in the workplace, a key issue that requires great attention in the DEI space as well. This summit was truly refreshing. It was an opportunity to recenter ourselves in the hard work that comes with addressing a range of today’s challenges. And by co creating spaces of change, I am in awe of its ability for meaningful impact. I am truly grateful for this opportunity and the people I was able to connect with!
