In honor of #Pride, we’re recognizing LGBTQ+ Circana employees and allies on our social channels this month! This week, we’re spotlighting Mashundra Maclin, MBA. What does Pride mean to me? Pride to me means having the audacity to be yourself and be proud. Who is my Pride Hero in the LGBTQIA+ community? RuPaul. RuPaul was the first black drag queen I remember seeing on TV, and he was a pioneer in my eyes. As his platform grew, he used it to uplift and advocate for those in the LGBTQIA+ community. How will you celebrate Pride in June and throughout the year? Throughout the year, I have participated in and volunteered with different LGBTQIA+ groups at Circana and in the community. The most significant way I celebrate Pride is by being myself, the authentic me. #CircanaCelebratesPride

With Pride Month upon us, you may start to see a lot of companies changing their logos and profile pictures to rainbows. And sure, any allyship is better than none, right? But if you want to do something real, something that isn’t just slapping a new color lockup on your logo, why not try out a bit of genuine allyship? If you haven’t already, now might be a good time to start incorporating pronouns into your email signatures. Or, if you want to do something bigger, your community is a great place to start. Whether you’re covering the cost of banned books by LGBTQ+ writers and donating them back to the community, or you’re producing pro-bono videos for a local LGBTQ+ nonprofit, there are plenty of ways to make an impact. As respected LGBTQ+ advocate Stan Mitchell said: “If you claim to be someone’s ally, but aren’t getting hit by the stones being thrown at them, you aren’t standing close enough.” Maybe it’s time for you to get a little closer.

Diversity is absolutely essential for developing strong teams, and high performing organisations that are robust, agile and innovative. Everybody should feel comfortable to be who they are in the workplace, and every workplace should make effort to ensure it is inclusive. Visibility is a key part of that.

No Credit Union Left Behind | Passionate Advocate for Financial Empowerment | Data and Research Geek | CU Lover for Life | Purpose Chaser | Changemaker
Be an ally. Be Kind. We ALL have one thing in common, we are all human beings first. Yet, so many different people continue to experience discrimination for a multitude of reasons. Financial wellness in the LBGTQ+ community face unique challenges and setbacks-- we all deserve to have access to financial products and services in an equitable environment. The 2024 LGBTQ+ Financial Wellness Report's key findings are a rude awakening that there is much work to be done for better financial inclusion. *Roughly half (48.15) of LGBTQ+ adults say they are financially unwell, compared to one-quarter (25.7%) of the general public. Both BIPOC and younger (age 18-24) LGBTQ+ adults are even more likely to say they are financially unwell. *Three in ten (30.8%) LGBTQ+ adults say they have experienced discrimination while accessing financial services *Roughly half (48.15) of LGBTQ+ adults say they are financially unwell, compared to one-quarter (25.7%) of the general public. *Nearly 60% (59.7%) of LGTBQ+ adults have annual household incomes below $75,000. "The data underscore the need for our economic empowerment programs, especially for younger BIPOC LGBTQ+ folks. I hope the data are a call to action for organizations serving our community. Given what we know about who is struggling the most, these organizations have an opportunity to center BIPOC young adults by being culturally responsive, trauma informed, and offering voice and choice to young people.” Maruka Rivers, Director of Economic Empowerment Programs at the Human Rights Campaign Foundation How is your credit union being an ally? If not, reach out and get involved.

Socialization is a one of the main benefits of public school. It's the opportunity to learn from others, engage and form connections with your peers. A child learns to respectful interaction with people who are different from them. This is pretty basic but fundamental. Diversity, equity, and inclusion is not just theory. It has practical application. The teachers and the school administration have to facilitate this learning, because they have been conditioning the opposite for far too long. Denying one child the opportunity to demonstrate faith and leadership doesn't need the reference to a LGBT group for support. We can't teach what we don't know and we can't advocate for equity and support negativity. We are the role models for goodness sake! Your children's role models are not phantom people on TV. They are watching you.
Owner, Law Enforcement Today, Blue Lives Matter and The Police Tribune. CEO, The Silent Partner Marketing. Serial entrepreneur. Christian conservative. Keynote speaker.
This fills me with RAGE. Creekside Elementary school in Washington state is being sued. Why? Because they denied a 5th graders request for a prayer group. Here's the clincher: just one week prior, they approved an LGBTQ Pride group. REPOST for exposure!! The child's prayer group was welcome to all religions, even though she's a Christian. The school tried to use the excuse that all funding for clubs was gone back in October - but that fell apart when parents pointed out the pride club formed the week before. #thinblueline #lawenforcement
