Amazing partners. Amazing company. Diversity and inclusiveness (in all manners) aren't just goals for BlueprintNYC; they're part of its DNA. This commitment is felt, enjoyed, and honored by everyone involved. It's important for companies to realize that while only 8% of employees in the US workplace identify as LGBTQ+, many allies encounter the negative impacts of working at a company where inclusiveness and understanding aren't part of the culture. Over the years, both personally and professionally, I've had moments where I felt ignored, isolated, rejected, hated, and even discriminated against by speaking up, or by feeling that I couldn't. This isn't to take away from the real discrimination taking place, but it highlights how harmful rhetoric can be in meetings where people assume no LGBTQ+ members are present. By taking actions and measures towards your D&I programs, you're serving the whole company, not just a small portion. This effort is reflected in the spirit, the experience, and even trickles down to the bottom line. If you're a member of the LGBTQ community, then you should feel proud this month and always. If not, then at least be an ally! #pride #pridemonth #ally #dei #equality #kindness #compassion #inclusivity #diversity #lgbtq

When we are with our community everything flows, every move lands and work is joyful. Thought leaders build their communities intentionally and with purpose. Building an intentional community means moments like these happen often. #thoughtleader #community #building #expert #changemakers

In our Becoming an Ally & Inclusive Leader workshop, a lot of questions come up about what allyship is. For example, are you considered an ally if you support company changes to serve the differently-abled community, but don't take an active part in making the change happen? If you have similar questions, this diagram can help you discover where you fall on the continuum and what it takes to be considered an advocate. Our attendees felt much the same, leaving with ‘a new sense of purpose’, ‘a new perspective on what it means to be an ally’ and ‘more able to be an ally’. #allyship #bethechange #advocate #inclusiveleadership

🔹 The Pivot - Embracing Change: Deciding to change was a pivotal moment for me. It was about choosing growth over guilt and potential over the past. 🔹 The Climb - Education and Self-Improvement: I immersed myself in knowledge, acquiring skills, and building a network of mentors and supporters who saw my worth and potential. 🔹 The Breakthrough - Advocacy and Empowerment: As I grew, my mission became clear: to empower others like me. Advocacy work became my voice and vehicle for change, not just for myself but for the community. 🔹 The Vision - A Future Defined by Purpose: Today, I stand as a testament to the power of resilience. My journey reflects a road map others can follow, one where the end goal is a future defined by purpose, not the past. #Resilience #Transformation #Advocacy #Empowerment #JusticeImpact #SecondChances #CareerJourney #crediblemessengers #leadership
