Being from Texas, celebrating Juneteenth has been a core memory for me, especially my childhood summers in East Texas. Since it has become a federal holiday, many companies have chosen to observe this holiday. I want to remind you that it is more than just another day off. Juneteenth is a day that marks not just a moment in history, but a journey towards freedom, equality, and justice. It reminds us of the continuous fight for rights, recognition, and real change in our societies and within ourselves. As leaders, we have the power to shape cultures that honor diversity, foster inclusiveness, and create spaces where everyone feels valued and heard. How are you using your role to perpetuate these values in your workspace beyond today? Share your commitment below or send us a DM to discuss how we can collectively build a more equitable future. Let's make every day a step towards lasting change. 💡✊ #Juneteenth #Leadership #DiversityandInclusion #HumanResources

I credit Amiee Sadler with teaching us about the importance in distinguishing between intent and impact! We were so lucky to learn from her! Excerpt from our Q&A: What’s one strategy you’ve used to move beyond conversation? There has to be a culture of accountability. Hard conversions are what help create and sustain change when it comes to diversity and inclusion. With this, one strategy we use beyond the conversation is to discuss the difference between intent and impact. While there may not have been intended harm, the impact can still be harmful. Therefore, behaviors must be identified as they occur, and an action plan must be developed to address and mitigate future harm.

Pictures sure do speak 1,000 words! With the dazzling sunshine in our faces, The Packer Collegiate Institute's representation at the annual 2024 NYSAIS Diversity Symposium - Connecting Across Differences: Tools and Approaches for Productive Civil Discourse, spanned a wide range of school-wide divisions and departments. File this away - The sunshine was a reminder of the sparks of joy in team building, finding camaraderie with each other, and how coming together fosters the notion of being agents of change. We did the work today by collectively culminating our time with civil discourse, inherently grounded in The Packer Collegiate Institute's mission. There's always room for more, room for growth, and perhaps that's how we keep moving forward. What an awesome opportunity for opening doors figuratively and literally; to share knowledge, listen, support, and learn from each other with actionable outcomes to cultivate belonging.

Dydd Gŵyl Dewi hapus! Happy St David’s Day! The first of March is Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Sant, or St David’s Day, the day when Wales celebrates its patron saint. A renowned preacher, his final words to his followers before his death on 1 March 589 were “Be joyful, keep the faith, and do the little things that you have heard and seen me do.” St David believed that we should “do the little things”, the small, considerate things that often make a big difference. What's one small thing you could do today that might make a big difference somewhere or to someone? - Check in with a friend or colleague you’ve not spoken to for a while? - Smile at someone as you pass them in the office or in the street? - Make someone a cuppa? - Let someone know you think they’re doing a great job? You never know how the small thing that you do might impact someone else’s day 😊 Let us know the little things that you do to make a difference. #Kindness #Wellbeing #WellbeingAtWork #Support #HR #HRCommunity #Inclusion #Recognition

Adjunct Professor |Consultant| Executive Coach| Restorative Equity Educator | Transforming Trauma | Repairer of the Breach | #SurvivorsSoar #HEALHumanityNow!
Happy Friday! Hope you and your loved ones are well. As I reflected on my experience as both an educator (presenter) and learner (participant) at the FLORIDA RESTORATIVE JUSTICE ASSOCIATION conference, I invite you to read this sharing of my thoughts. Also, I want to thank the amazing team at Florida Restorative Justice Association Operations for modeling restorative values in how they cared for the community. Restorative Reflections: On Cultivating Inclusive Spaces Reflecting on the Florida Restorative Justice Association’s recent conference, I am struck by the profound impact of intentional inclusivity and foresight in cultivating spaces. By adopting a proactive and considerate approach, we can transform environments into havens of belonging and connection. Access: We cultivate spaces that actively dismantle barriers, ensuring a warm welcome and inclusivity for everyone. It's about making sure each individual feels seen and valued from the moment they step into the room. Love: Our actions speak volumes. In the spaces we create, we communicate that each person is important, and their well-being is our top priority. It’s about nurturing a culture where love is a foundational value. Equity: I am committed to fairness and justice, recognizing and valuing the rich diversity of experiences and perspectives that individuals bring to the table. My aim is to level the playing field, ensuring that every voice is heard and respected. For sure, this was evident at the Florida Restorative Justice Conference. Healing: Acknowledging the transformative power of visibility and consideration, we understand that creating a thoughtful space can lead to healing. It’s about recognizing the ripple effect of our actions and the lasting impact they can have on an individual's journey. This is what we did in the session assigned to me. Together we cultivated a space for authentic discourse, connection, healing and joy. Together, let’s be the architects of spaces that exude anticipation, care, and value. Join me in championing a world that is more inclusive, thoughtful, and kind. Be the catalyst for change. #Access #Inclusion #Leadership #Belonging #Thoughtfulness #Authenticity #Love #Equity #Healing #RestorativeJustice #Liberation

Board Spotlight: Elke Weil-Millan Elke is the Principal/Owner at Panoramica Strategic Communications LLC. She has lived in Wake County for 26 year and is an NCSU graduate from the College of Natural Resources (Go, Pack!). She is a wonderful addition to our board as a strong advocate and organizer, having helped create spaces for Hispanic and Immigrant Community members and continuously push for change for those communities. How would you describe the Triangle region to someone who doesn't live here? A growing metropolitan area with great opportunities and vibrant community. Why is WakeUP's work important for the Triangle? It's one of few organizations that focus on climate, housing and transportation. If you had a magic wand, what is one thing you would change about our community? More civic engagement from marginalized communities If you were only allowed one sentence, what would you say about the importance of future planning? We can't manage growth without proper planning.
