For Pride 2024, we celebrated with our Aritzia Community™ partners, Stonewall Community Foundation (SCF) and Out My Closet, Inc. (OMC), at a photo studio in NYC. Together, we explored self-expression through style with SCF Program Director Maryse Pearce, OMC Founder Michael Narain and members of the LGBTQIA2S+ community. Everyone styled themselves for the shoot, choosing pieces from the Aritzia collection that spoke to their unique personal aesthetic. We had lots of fun. We’re incredibly proud any time our beautiful products play a role in celebrating our diverse community and elevating the world around them. It’s all part of our commitment to shaping A Better Everyday. Together.™ Click the link to learn all about our year-round Aritzia Community™ partnerships: https://lnkd.in/gaWqfiPM

Amy Godine's "The Black Woods" reveals the long-silenced stories of Black pioneers in the Adirondacks, offering a powerful narrative of resilience and the fight for justice. This book uncovers histories that have been buried, shedding light on the struggles and achievements of those whose legacies were nearly forgotten. It emphasizes the critical role of representation and the impact of connecting with one's heritage for community identity and empowerment. The involvement of H.O.L.L.A. (How Our Lives Link Altogether), a group dedicated to empowering young people by linking their lives through history and advocacy, in seeking land in the Adirondacks is a testament to the lasting significance of these stories. They aim to honor and continue the legacy of those who were erased from history by reclaiming and celebrating the spirit of those pioneers, highlighting the ongoing quest for land, freedom, and equality. "The Black Woods" is more than a recount of history; it serves as an inspiration and a reminder of the courage to pursue opportunities against all odds. #TheBlackWoods #AdirondackHistory #RacialJustice #BlackPioneers #ForgottenHistories #HOLLA #LandAndFreedom #Equality #Resilience #CommunityEmpowerment #HistoricalAwareness #SocialJustice #AmyGodine #TimbuctooProject
There once was a few in the Adirondacks who gave more to include all. Thank you. #adirondacks #equitableaccess #togetherwerise #adklife

Yesterday, I wrote and delivered this national trends report to my local Goose Creek, SC Cultural Arts Commission. This report offers insights into emerging trends in the arts sector focusing on community engagement, equity, accessibility, and supporting diverse leadership within the arts. While some recommendations are tailored specifically to Goose Creek, such as supporting local arts-based businesses and making arts spaces more accessible, the overarching themes of inclusivity, equitable practices, and the importance of community engagement are universally applicable. This report encourages communities everywhere to evaluate their arts programming and initiatives through these lenses, suggesting that even those outside Goose Creek could find valuable strategies and ideas to apply locally. Whether it's diversifying the types of art presented, ensuring equitable pay and contracts for artists, or enhancing accessibility for all community members, there's a wealth of insights that can inspire positive changes in arts communities nationwide. #ArtsInnovation #CommunityArts #EquitableArts #CulturalTrends #ArtsAccessibility #InclusiveArts #LocalArtsImpact #CreativeCommunities #ArtsAdvocacy #GooseCreekArts

Explore Inclusion! We know through extensive research that the key to effectively nurturing the potential of all people in play is dependent on inclusion. An inclusive recreation space is one of the best things a community can do for people. Inclusive play and recreation simply means no one is left out, and everyone-of all ages and abilities- can play to the greatest extent possible. A great inclusive space is more than just choosing products-the design should be based on validated, scholarly research, carefully considered products, and ultimately celebrate the voice of the community. At PlayCore/GameTime and DWA Recreation , we've conducted more inclusive research, designed more inclusive products, and helped create more happy, successful inclusive community stories. Be one of them. https://lnkd.in/gkpUa9Td

🏙️ Remember a Local, Name a Place! Victoria’s cities, suburbs, and regions are growing, and the Victorian Government needs your help to name the new streets, parks, and community spaces that will emerge. Over the next 3 years, more than 6,000 places will need names, and we want those names to honour the people who’ve made our communities thrive. This is a unique opportunity to increase the recognition of Women, First Nations, LGBTQIA+, people with disabilities, and culturally and linguistically diverse communities, who have historically been underrepresented in place naming. Naming places can celebrate legacies, and now it’s your turn to ensure the women who’ve shaped our communities are honoured too. 💪👩🎨 To be commemorated, the nominee must be deceased, have a lasting legacy, and a strong connection to the area. Nominations will be added to a council name bank for consideration when a new place needs naming. Let’s make sure our place names reflect the rich diversity of our community and the incredible impact of women across Victoria! 🌏 ➡️ How to Nominate: Gather a short bio, connection to the area, and reasons for nomination. Include letters of support from next of kin or organisations. Submit your nomination through the provided form. ➡️ The full details and application form can be found here: https://lnkd.in/g56VeFV6 This is your chance to ensure the names of our streets, parks, and public spaces tell the stories of women and other community heroes who’ve made a real difference. 🌟 #NameALocal #Victoria #WomenInHistory #CommunityHeroes #DiversityInNaming #puthernameonit

Strategic Storytelling | Storytelling For Quantifiable Change | Commercial, PR, Social Impact Campaigns |
Storytelling powerfully fills gaps that lead to misunderstanding and lack of acceptance. Here We Are helps fill that gap in a time when 71% of Americans say that they have never met a transgender person. There is so much to say about Here We Are - a powerful new campaign we are proud to launch today with GLAAD. For now, please spend some time getting to know Gio, Ashton and Nadya on the website - share it with your friends and communities and let everyone know that every person has the right to be their authentic selves, free from fear. We can break down the barriers of misinformation and political rhetoric simply by getting to know each other. Acceptance is easy - it's human nature.
At a time when anti-transgender rhetoric and legislation are growing at alarming and dangerous rates, it is crucial that Americans hear from transgender people about their lives and how the current political and cultural climate can be harmful to them. Today, we launched “Here We Are,” a ground-breaking video campaign that shares the real stories of transgender people, in a time when 71% of Americans claim they’ve never met someone who is transgender and when anti-transgender rhetoric from politicians and some in the media continues to rise. Most Americans are exposed to trans issues through media-biased narratives. GLAAD and GROUND Media’s new campaign dispels these misconceptions to introduce Americans to transgender people and their supportive families who showcase that trans identity is real and that everyone deserves to be who they are and live safely.
