Diversity Role Models

🌈 This Asexual Awareness Week, we reflect on the powerful words of our Ambassador @theyasminbenoit: "As an adult, I can't help but think of how so many of my negative experiences could have been avoided – ironically – with education. Not just education about asexuality, but asexuality and race – an acknowledgement of how someone's intersections can make a big difference." At Diversity Role Models, we believe in the power of shared experiences. Our workshops provide a platform to discuss and celebrate our intersectional identities, fostering a world where everyone can authentically be themselves and thrive. #AsexualAwarenessWeek #Intersectionality #Inclusion #DiversityMatters

Today marks the start of National Adoption Week and we want to take this opportunity to thank all of our volunteer role models who have shared their adoption journey's in classrooms across the country. Representation of different families matters. To learn about the journey to parenthood that our very own Head of Relationships went on why not revisit last years article on our website https://lnkd.in/eUUzR7Cn #NationalAdoptionWeek #AdoptionJourney #RepresentationMatters #DifferentFamilies

Today is International Pronouns Day and is aimed at making the respecting, sharing, and educating about personal pronouns commonplace. Referring to people by the pronouns they determine for themselves is basic to human dignity. Together, we can transform society to celebrate people’s multiple, intersecting identities. #InternationalPronounsDay #RespectPronouns #InclusionMatters #LGBTQ+ #Pride

We are beyond grateful to our friends Exertis UK for nominating us to be Charity Beneficiary for the CRN Channel Awards being held in November 🤩 We can’t wait to raise awareness and vital funds for our work in schools and have some fun whilst doing it! 😉

Thank you, as always, to the wonderful COREcruitment Ltd and Krishnan Doyle’s team for their fabulous hospitality at their Black History Month event yesterday! It was great to hear from an array of inspirational speakers, including the legend that is Lady Phyll Opoku-Gyimah. It has certainly left us with lots to think about 🤩

This National Coming Out Day we want to recognise the significance in feeling safe enough to be able to share with the world who we truly are. Through our work in schools across the country we hope to continue to deliver workshops that create safe spaces for everyone to be their authentic selves and celebrate their differences together 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈 #NationalComingOutDay #LGBTQCommunity #SafeSpaces #CelebrateDiversity #InclusionMatters #LoveIsLove #PrideInEducation

This evening we had the great opportunity to deliver some volunteer role model training to our friends at LSEG (London Stock Exchange Group) We shared what going into classrooms will entail, covered our safeguarding procedures and heard some truly inspirational personal stories that we can’t wait to be told in schools across London, our regions and beyond 🤩 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈

✨ This Black History Month, we're celebrating the richness of diversity and the power of intersectionality! At Diversity Role Models, we're dedicated to ending LGBTQ+ bullying in UK schools by building inclusive environments where every young person—regardless of race, gender, or sexual orientation—feels accepted and respected. It's crucial to recognise all aspects of identity and empower the next generation to embrace differences and stand against prejudice. By bringing volunteer Role Models from all backgrounds and intersections into classrooms, we can give visibility, inspire empathy and ensure that every student is celebrated for their unique self. Together, we can end prejudice-based bullying and build a world where diversity is truly valued. 🌍🌈 #DiversityRoleModels #BlackHistoryMonth #Diversity #Inclusion #LGBTQ+ #Queer #Empowerment #Inspiration #RoleModels #Education #SupportDiversity #CelebrateUniqueness #gender #identity #InclusiveEducation #MakeADifference #PrideInEducation #transgender #gay #bisexual #loveislove #learning #school #students #love #knowledge #teacher #equality #diversity #equity #pride #lgbtq
