Communitas Supportive Care Society’s Post

Pumped to start Ettie Bailey-King ‘s new six-week course, “Bold Type”, tomorrow. I’m ready to dive in with a bunch of awesome people (I’ve not met them yet, I just know they’ll be awesome already!) and learn together about how we can make our comms more accessible and inclusive to specific audiences and groups of people. Accessibility and inclusivity are things I’ve been increasingly passionate about over the past few years. I’ve loved developing Christians Against Poverty ‘s five-year digital accessibility roadmap and championing best practice across various teams, but now it’s time to go deeper on how I (and we) can be more accessible and inclusive to specific groups, whether they’ve got certain access needs or are perhaps marginalised/misunderstood by wider society. As a champion of all people, I’m excited for what the next six weeks will hold, and to meet others who are just as passionate about this as me. Let’s go!

Seeing youth programs like this warms my heart. First Nations kids growing up connected to culture, choosing their own path and connecting with each other is something we need to see more of, and is building a pipeline of deadly future leaders. It's passing on important cultural knowledge and spirituality, and contributing towards healing. I'm reassured to see an increase in programs which are run by mob and focused on rebuilding wellbeing, strengthening self-esteem, supporting a strong sense of agency and fostering pride in identity. For every program empowering mob, be it focused on youth, adults or Elders, we move further in our cultural revitalisation and strengthening journey, ensuring preservation and enduring practice of culture and all that entails. Australia will have better outcomes when First Nations people are empowered and have strong representation in leadership positions and decision making bodies. When we as a nation, embed respecting and valuing First Nations peoples, cultures and knowledge, our country as a whole will thrive, supported enduringly by our people's long-standing and profound connections each other, all living things and Country. https://lnkd.in/gXv9HeH7

As we celebrate the 4th of July in the United States, it's a time to reflect on the values that make our country strong: independence, freedom, and unity. Independence Day is not just about fireworks and barbecues; it's a reminder of the resilience and determination that built this nation. It's also a perfect opportunity to consider how these values translate into our workplace culture. Freedom to Innovate: Encourage your team to explore new ideas and approaches without fear. Innovation thrives in an environment where creativity is valued. Unity in Diversity: Celebrate the diverse backgrounds and perspectives within your team. Our differences make us stronger and more capable of achieving great things together. Resilience and Perseverance: Just as our forefathers persevered through challenges, inspire your team to stay resilient and determined, even in the face of obstacles. Let's use this 4th of July to recommit to fostering a work culture that embodies these principles. Wishing everyone a safe and joyful Independence Day! Q: What values will you celebrate in your workplace this 4th of July? Share your thoughts in the comments. Happy Independence Day! 🎉 - Bonnie Artman Fox #independenceday #postitiveworkplace #innovation #reflections #independence #unity #freedom

As a young person I always want to receive instant results like just blink and see results But today, I had the privilege of joining a powerful session led by Nyamekye (Yah-MEH-chay) Wilson , CEO of Black Sisters in STEM . It was an eye-opening discussion on how energy, mindset, and generosity shape our lives. One key takeaway was the idea that what you give comes back. Whether it’s your time, effort, or knowledge, the universe rewards those who give freely. It's a reminder that success is tied not only to what we achieve but also to how we lift others along the way. I was also encouraged to understand that life reflects our actions. If I want more positivity or kindness in my life , I must embody those traits myself. Our daily choices influence the reality I experience. Finally, the principle of reaping what you sow was a powerful reminder. The seeds I plant in my career, relationship, and community will determine the harvest we reap in the future. 𝑊ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝐼 𝑙𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑛𝑡 ; Giving leads to receiving , be a blessing to others. Life mirrors our actions , be what you seek. Reap what you sow , invest in your future today.
