Partnerships are Key

Just completed the "Equality, Diversity & Inclusion" course from ActionAid's People and Culture team. One powerful reflection on #disability really resonated with me, and I wanted to share it:

“Diversity requires commitment. Achieving superior performance diversity can produce further action– most notably, a commitment to develop a culture of inclusion. People do not just need to be different, they need to be fully involved and feel their voices are heard.” - Alain Dehaze #inclusionanddiversity #diversity #diversitymatters #inclusion #inclusionmatters #representationmatters #equality #leadership #equity #diversityequityinclusion #community #disabilityawareness #culture #diversityisbeautiful #education #disability #love #antiracism #womenempowerment #genderequality #inclusivity #socialjustice #humanresources #diversityandinclusion

Friday - Blog Time. How many times do you use the cut in the curb? I know you might say "Dang Mel, you gonna make the curb about DEI too? Is nothing sacred?" Yes, the curb cut is a great example of how an effort to benefit some may benefit many. I often use this example to explain to others the benefits of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. Enjoy. #diversity #equity #inclusion #belonging #Benefits

,“Diversity is being invited to the party; inclusion is being asked to dance.”- Verna Myers diversity and inclusion advocate. Inclusion extends beyond the mere acknowledgement and representation of individuals with disabilities in our community; it entails recognizing, respecting, and celebrating them. It also requires creating environments or cultures that foster a sense of belonging, ensuring that everyone can contribute and thrive regardless of their dissabilities, and they feel welcomed, respected, valued, heard, and empowered. How involved are people with dissabilities in decision-making and other processes in your community? https://lnkd.in/dSt_hNQZ #hajrahbastyinitiative #inclusion #diversity #inclusionadvocacy #diversityandinclusion

Another great initiative by ENIL; "June 16th marks Neurodiversity Pride Day, and the European Association of Service Providers for Persons with Disabilities (EASPD) wishes to highlight the importance of person-centred practices in care and support that respect and support neurodiverse people. Person-centred approaches place people at the heart of their own care and support, prioritising their unique needs, preferences, and experiences. To adequately support neurodiverse individuals, this requires adopting person-centred approaches that account for intersectionality."
