On the Move Cultural Mobility Flows report, focusing on the international mobility of disabled artists and culture professionals, has just been published.

Indigenous Peoples' Day is coming up soon!*✨ As we approach this important day, I’m reflecting on the significance of celebrating and honoring Indigenous communities here in the U.S. 🧡 As a woman of color, I understand deeply how vital it is to recognize and celebrate cultural heritage, not just for one day, but every day. These moments aren’t just about acknowledgment—they're about uplifting voices, histories, and experiences that have been too often overlooked or marginalized. 🌿 Celebrating cultural heritage months is more than a tradition; it’s a reminder of the resilience, beauty, and strength in diversity. It’s an opportunity to learn, connect, and stand in solidarity with one another. By doing so, we create spaces where everyone can feel seen, heard, and valued. 💪🏽 Let's continue to amplify these stories and keep learning from each other, with the goal of creating a more just and inclusive world for future generations. 🌎✊🏽 #IndigenousPeoplesDay #CulturalHeritage #Equity #DiversityAndInclusion

Why Visibly Supporting Aboriginal Culture and Giving Back is So Important In today's corporate landscape, supporting First Nations culture and giving back to the communities from which it originates is more than a gesture; it's a commitment to inclusivity, respect, and positive impact. My experience with Aboriginal culture is that it is rich with ancient traditions and vibrant expressions. I have learned that it offers profound insights and beauty that enhance our collective understanding of heritage and diversity. By visibly supporting these cultural narratives, companies not only contribute to preserving and celebrating culture but also foster a workplace that values and embraces diversity. I believe that culture brings more connection, depth, and colour to our society – it is more fun too! Moreover, engaging with Aboriginal artists and their communities through corporate gifting not only supports and uplifts these talented artists, but also plays a crucial role in ensuring the continuation of traditional culture.  At Koh Living, our in-house artists deeply value the opportunity to keep their ancestors’ stories alive – stories that hold profound, shared wisdom about Culture, Community and Country. These narratives are vital; they guide us toward a better future by emphasizing the values that bring meaning to our lives and connects us all. I feel that giving back goes beyond philanthropy; it is about creating lasting relationships and trust. When businesses choose to invest in Aboriginal products and initiatives, they are acknowledging and valuing the contributions of these communities. It is amazing to think that even the smallest gesture can catalyze positive changes, from economic development to cultural preservation, and enhance social equity. Incorporating Aboriginal gifts into your corporate culture sends a powerful message of respect and solidarity. It shows your clients, partners, and employees that your organization is committed to fostering inclusivity and supporting the rich tapestry of cultures that enrich our society. This dedication not only strengthens your corporate identity but also resonates deeply with a modern audience that values ethical and socially responsible business practices. What might change in our workplaces and communities if every business took steps to actively engage with and celebrate Aboriginal culture through their corporate practices? #TuiCordemans #KohLiving #Diversity #Culture

When I recently uploaded this wedding video, it was immediately upgraded by YouTube to "18+ only". It's "Marketing the Rainbow" from last century. What do you think? The closing text says "Think before you commit yourself" - it's about a mobile telecom company. The joke is mwah, the quality is so "25 years ago" - but I think it has potential. https://lnkd.in/eD2BAJsK #MarketingTheRainbow #GayMarketing #LGBT #gayadvertising

Is Placemaking a Radical Concept? "Radical placemaking recognizes the interconnectedness of social, economic, and environmental factors within urban contexts. It advocates for holistic approaches that address systemic issues such as poverty, discrimination, and environmental degradation. What I personally love about placemaking is the fact that it acknowledges that the process itself is as crucial as the outcomes. With a whole participatory and inclusive methodology designed to empower communities to shape their own environments. With a need for ongoing collaboration, dialogue, and learning, as well as a willingness to challenge established power structures and confront uncomfortable truths."
