Juneteenth. It's a day filled with mixed emotions. It's a time to celebrate because it marks the end of slavery in America, but it's also a somber reminder of the struggles that many of our ancestors faced. It's a time to reflect on the long and difficult road to freedom for enslaved Americans and recommit to the fight for equality and justice, knowing that no matter what challenges we face, we can overcome them. Let's take a moment to remember the past, recommit to the future, and celebrate the strength of the human spirit. And above all, let's affirm that every single person deserves to be treated with equality and dignity. #juneteenth2024 #progress #equality #diversity #inclusion

Reflecting on the profound impact of Juneteenth, it’s crucial to recognize that slavery's legacy extends beyond the denial of equal pay; it fundamentally denied the right to inclusivity. #Inclusivity means more than #representation; it means breaking down systemic barriers that have long marginalized foreign scholars and other underrepresented groups. As we commemorate Juneteenth, let’s commit to fostering a truly inclusive academic and professional environment where everyone has the opportunity to thrive. #Juneteenth #Inclusivity #Equality #Diversity #AcademicCommunity #InternationalScholars

June begins Pride Month in many countries across the globe, and it is a moment to celebrate the LGBTQIA+ communities and continue to push for equality, equity, and fairness for all. It is also a time to share “Everyday Pride” and the many different individual life experiences we all go through. This can mean talking openly about being LGBTQIA+ and how we experience life differently to others, whether it is coming out, how we experience workplace benefits, our transitioning journeys, our relationship with faith and much more. For me, like so many others, Pride is a time to share and learn.   It is also a time to reflect on the year that has been, and the hopes we have for the future. We must not forget our continued progress, such as in Lativia, Estonia, Greece, Taiwan and many other countries. Yet, we are also seeing a continuing wave of anti-LGBTQIA+ legislation across states in the US, and through populism and nationalism globally. During this time, the onus comes back to us to bring truth and honesty into these debates and call on others to be deliberate about how they think about supporting us and being allies.   As we start pride celebrations, I encourage everyone to use this month to listen, learn and find ways to support. Ask the difficult question that you have been thinking about, listen openly to stories of experience, and importantly think about ways in which you can support.   For those that know me, you know I am the eternal optimist. I believe in tomorrow being better, and I believe in a fairer and more equal and equitable world. Onwards to a better world for all! #happypride #gaypride #hope #equality #equity #fairness
