🎃👻 This Halloween, as we put on masks and dress in spooky costumes, let's remember the perpetual nightmare Black and Brown people experience in the workplace. The real horror isn't ghouls or ghosts, but a gross lack of #inclusion and #harms they bear from leaders and colleagues, which results in workplace racial trauma. What's even scarier is the fact racism is a public health issue that is detrimental to the health and well-being of Black and Brown people, as evidenced by disparities in health outcomes suffered by them. 📃And Yes, we have the receipts to substantiate this. 👹The most haunting masks don't come out on Halloween. They're worn daily by folks who inhibit inclusion, uphold ⬜ supremacy, and perpetuate systemic exclusion inside the workplace (hell, and outside of it too). 👺It's the nightmare that never ends. And I'm personally tired of being haunted by racial trauma, and seeing so many of my colleagues reeling from it. 👾Yet, every dark tale needs its heroes to save the day. And it's gonna take all of us to uproot it. 🖤That's why I created my firm, Kia Croom Fundraising & Philanthropy, Inc. A Black-woman-owned fundraising firm. 🌍❤️We're committed to collaborating with co-conspirators and allies committed to tirelessly pushing for #racialjustice, #equity, #inclusion, and liberation for Black and Brown people. learn more about us at www.kiacroom.com. #Equity #InclusionMatters #Boo #Halloween

Their mission is to strengthen queer representation, wellbeing, and collaboration in the arts. As part of a review of their Sustainability initiatives and suppliers, the team at Fruit Box identified their existing email campaign processes as an area to improve. Starting with a free trial, the team set-up an account to test the features.  They integrated a form into their website for newsletter sign ups Newsletter submissions then funnel directly into their EcoSend Contacts area The drag and drop HTML builder, then helped them craft their Newsletters It quickly became apparent, that EcoSend met all of their needs, so The Fruit Box Theatre team moved to a premium subscription and completed the migration from their existing supplier.

Please watch this one. This is SUCH a good example of “DEI washing”or “performative allyship” - businesses using models with limb differences to market themselves as inclusive…but refusing to sell paired items as single items for people WITH limb difference. If inclusivity is part of your commercial brand strategy, your better have the product offering to back it up…or else you’re going to get called out! #DEI #disability #inclusion #limbdifference #marketing #brandidentity

🎃👻 Halloween is creeping closer, and it's the perfect time to make it inclusive for everyone! Here are some tips to ensure everyone has a spooktacular time. 🕷️🕸️ Image description: A light blue background, with black font written over it. There is a full moon in the background, and 3 black bats surrounding the heading "Tips for an inclusive Halloween". Below this is a list of tips, with ghost dot points to the left. The tips read: - Remember not everyone has the verbal skills to say "please and thankyou" - No one is ever "too old" to trick or treat! - Some people might find certain costumes difficult due to sensory input - Everyone will be wearing what they think looks the best, so tell them they look great, even if it isn't what you would choose - Some families might use a blue pumpkin to indicate they have additional needs, and some families might not, so treat everyone with kindness and respect anyway! - We are all different, and we all have the right to participate in community events!

One thing about me...I'm going to take a selfie. I just think it captures the moment better than a regular group photo! And I'm a millennial, sue me! But this is one of my favorites ever, and what a moment it was. This picture was taken on Day 5 of week 1 of Girls Rock! Phoenix Rock Camp last year with the band I managed, Organ Thief. At this point, these teenagers learned an instrument, co-created a band logo and name, wrote a whole song, memorized it (mostly), recorded this song in a few takes, screenprinted their logo onto tshirts, AND they went to 4 workshops and saw 4 local bands play in between all of this. In a week, they'd perform on stage at Walter Studios. But in a layer behind all of that, this was the first time as an organization that we had taken on planning two weeks of camp instead of one, and it was our first camp since COVID made us pivot and pivot and pivot. We had a new camp venue, a new showcase venue, new volunteers and board members, a new (first) paid position, new ways of doing things, and brand new challenges. We were just as exhausted, in awe, and immersed in the process as these teenagers were. Actually - maybe a lot more exhausted since they have their youth to fuel them and they don't have to pay rent... It is by sheer will that the organization even stayed afloat during COVID, frankly. As a working board and as a volunteer force, we couldn't let go of what we have collectively created since 2015. One year from now, we'll be a 10 year-old organization. This year, I'll have been (very) involved for 8 years. All of this is mind-blowing. A lot of my adult life I've spent with the fine folks in this community, which is ever in flux. No doubt it's shaped a lot of my adult Self. This year, we're a little more primed for the exhaustion that June will bring. We remember well what it takes to get through two weeks of Rock Camp. We have brand new instruments thanks to Roland Global / Boss Global. We're adding more board members, recruiting more volunteers, and trying to increase that camper number based on volunteers. So all that to say...please tell your network, if they love music and/or art and/or kids and/or helping people live life authentically, they belong at Girls Rock! Phoenix Rock Camp this summer.
