When working with Millennials, it is imperative to listen to them – really listen. Senior leaders and executives, you may be resisting the infiltration of too much Millennial spunk into your organisations, but they are the future. They not only need to be heard, but consulted. One of the ways to better work with your young people and harness their talent to push your organization forward is by actively listening to them. You have to walk the talk when you aspire to be an employer of choice or about inclusivity.

Wanna know what creative advocacy is? Well, I recently did it again with an amazing army of creatives—and we made magic happen. Yes, at boldoz bookstores, I headlined “An Hour of Social Impact Poetry” at the United Nations Civil Society Conference’s #ArtsForTheFutureFestival, curated in #Nigeria by Ecrafti | Narratives for Development. We used our voices to address the real issues shaking our world—climate change, police brutality, bad governance, economic hardship, and protest resistance. We didn’t shy away from the tough conversations, tackling themes of labor, hope, community crises, riot killings, suicide, humanitarian refugee crises, racism, and shelter. This was art with a purpose—creative advocacy to inspire, heal, and call for change like the visionary Lisa Russell of Create2030 often push for within and beyond United Nations spaces. Today’s art is tomorrow’s refuge, and this performance embodied that truth. Ready to witness it?

A helpful summary when referring to First Nations peoples and cultures. Go to the source and respect individual preferences.

💁🏾♀️What is considered respectful when referring to Indigenous peoples? It's important to remember that terms like Australia and Aboriginal are colonial, not Indigenous. 🗣️In other words, they are names that have been given by colonisers and not the names that First Nations people have traditionally used to refer to themselves. ❤️Generally, Indigenous people prefer to use their own names, like Bardi, Gadigal or Bundjalung, and to speak their own language but it is accepted that Australia is now an English-speaking country and so, if colonial terms must be used, most prefer Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, Indigenous Australians, First Peoples, First Nations or First Australians. 📍Note the use of capital letters and remember, not all Indigenous people feel the same way or have the same preferences. 👂🏾Listen to the language used by the people you are with and, if you are ever unsure, just ask! #AskAunty #CulturalProtocols #CulturalAwareness #DiversityEquityInclusion #PracticalReconciliation
