Stepping beyond my usual focus on accessibility and brand marketing to address something personal and relevant to me as a proud Jewish American. May is both Jewish American Heritage Month and AAPI Heritage Month, highlighting the importance of inclusivity and recognizing diverse experiences. In our ongoing discussions about Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), it's important that we prioritize the inclusion of Jewish communities. Diversity is not limited to visible differences. It also includes diverse experiences, including those of Jewish individuals. We must ensure Jewish voices are heard and valued, fostering understanding and inclusivity. This is particularly important given the rise in antisemitism worldwide and in the US. In 2023, there was a 140% increase in antisemitic incidents from 2022, which was already a record-setting year. To HR professionals and DEI leaders: It’s vital to acknowledge and celebrate the contributions of Jewish Americans. Let's stand together in solidarity and inclusivity. There’s room for all of us to be welcomed. #JewishAmericanHeritageMonth #AAPIHeritageMonth #DEI #Inclusion #DiversityAndInclusion

To foster a harmonious and inclusive atmosphere devoid of religious, ethnic, or racial aggression or oppression, we must first respect and appreciate the diversity around us. Open, respectful dialogue is essential to bridge cultural gaps, while promoting equality ensures that everyone has equal opportunities. Celebrating various cultures through events and education promotes understanding and empathy. Zero tolerance for discrimination, community involvement, and setting a positive example can further strengthen unity. Media literacy and advocacy for inclusive policies also play crucial roles in building such a cohesive and harmonious community. It begins with our individual commitment to embracing diversity and promoting understanding. Building bridges and promoting inclusivity through dialogue and actions can help create a more harmonious society. Our objective is to encourage such unity via conversations and sharing thoughts, as it can lead to a more peaceful coexistence among different groups.

On this Juneteenth, we honor a pivotal moment in history—the emancipation of enslaved African Americans in 1865. This day serves as a powerful reminder of the long journey towards freedom and equality, and the ongoing efforts required to build a just society. Juneteenth is not just a celebration of the past but a call to action for the present and future. It's a day to reflect on our commitment to justice and equity, and to recognize the importance of building empowered communities where everyone can thrive. By coming together to uplift all populations around us, we foster a culture of inclusion, resilience, and mutual support. Let's use this day to educate, advocate, and create meaningful change. Together, we can honor the legacy of Juneteenth by continuing the work towards true freedom and equality for all. #Juneteenth #resilience #freedomday #cultureofinclusion

Today, on Indigenous Peoples' Day, let us pause to honor the land and the people who have called it home for generations. This morning, I acknowledge that I am on the ancestral lands of the Erie, Huron, Seneca, and Shawnee tribes, among others, in what is now known as Cleveland, Ohio. Indigenous Peoples’ Day is not only about celebrating the vibrant indigenous cultures that continue to thrive but also reflecting on the painful history of oppression faced by Native American communities in the United States and the inspiring resilience of these communities. When we do the work of DEI, we must acknowledge that there continues to be significant opportunity for greater inclusion and equity for indigenous peoples. We have to raise awareness of the history, it’s longstanding impacts, and ensure their voices are heard, and their rights are upheld. A message to allies: Engage with their stories, support organizations working for justice, and amplify their voices. #IndigenousPeoplesDay #dei #deib #belonging #inclusion #diversityandinclusion #diversityequityinclusion

A great post by Fadjanie Cadet, MBA, SHRM-CP, ODCP that challenges us to not only reflect and honor the Indigenous lands where we live and work, but also acknowledges "the opportunity for greater inclusion and equity for indigenous peoples." My home stands on the ancestral lands of the Monacan Nation. Do you wish to learn and honor which Indigenous lands of you home or business? Check out this search map of Native territories, languages, and treaties created by Native Land Digital, an Indigenous-led nonprofit based in Canada: https://native-land.ca/ #IndigenousPeoplesDay #DEI

--Join our virtual conference. Theme: Bridging Perspectives and Inspiring Action June 8, 2024, 11 am- 3 pm EST
Intersectionality in the Latinx Community acknowledges its community's diverse identities and experiences. Intersectionality recognizes that people's lives are shaped by their ethnicity and various intersecting factors such as gender, sexuality, class, immigration status, etc. Latinx navigate complex intersections of identity that influence our opportunities, challenges, and experiences of discrimination or privilege. For example, as a Latinx immigrant and college graduate woman, I face unique barriers due to both my ethnicity and gender. In contrast, another Latinx immigrant may encounter discrimination based on their legal status within their community and from the rest of society. The Latinx community is diverse, with people from various nationalities, cultures, languages, and racial backgrounds. Intersectionality acknowledges this diversity, understanding that the society cannot homogenize Latinx experiences and recognizing the distinct challenges different groups face, such as Afro-Latinx individuals, indigenous Latinx people, or immigrants. From a Latinx perspective, intersectionality emphasizes the importance of inclusive and equitable approaches to advocacy, policy-making, and social justice efforts. Moreover, it highlights the need for solidarity and allyship across diverse identities within and outside the Latinx community to challenge intersecting forms of discrimination and oppression collectively.

Yesterday was Trans Day of Visbility. It’s so important to stand up and push back against all the rhetoric that creates a dangerous and negative environment. Trans people are consistently marginalized, scapegoated, and misunderstood. If you don’t know how to help, do the research, find a group that is helping, and put in some effort. Now more than ever, it’s important that we stand up and say that we are allies, and we support you. To all my trans friends, and those I haven’t met yet, I see you, and I support you.
