Happy National Caribbean American Heritage Month from LAC! This month, we are also celebrating and honoring the profound achievements of Caribbean-American Immigrants in the United States. Caribbean Immigrants have made significant contributions to American society and its founding. Below we share a few articles highlighting Caribbean-Immigrant influential icons that have made a long-lasting impact on American history, life, and culture:   - https://lnkd.in/gaDPU5p - https://lnkd.in/eXxe-4ts

In time for the big #celebration make sure you have enough #swag to promote your business. With thousands of potential new customers able to see your brand name supporting our country, is in my opinion, an investment well made. (And included in your marketing budget 😉)! More importantly, however, your #customers will have memories lasting a lifetime. Cheers. #brandpromotion #yourbrand #yourlogo #USA #newcustomers

🌍✊🏾Celebrating Black History Month and Sustainable Travel! ✊🏾🌍 February marks the celebration of Black History Month, a time to honor the achievements, resilience, and contributions of Black individuals throughout history. It's a moment to reflect on the ongoing struggle for racial justice and equality. One important aspect of Black history is the legacy of "The Green Book." During segregation in the United States, this guidebook was a vital resource for Black travelers, providing information on safe places to stay, dine, and visit. It was a beacon of hope and safety in a time of systemic racism and discrimination. Today, we recognize the significance of The Green Book in the context of the travel and tourism industry. Though Jim Crow laws are gone, systemic racism persists in travel. Microaggressions, limited representation, and unequal access to safe spaces remain. As a sustainable and responsible travel educator, we advocate for social justice and anti-oppression in every facet of travel. A modern-day counterpart to The Green Book is the ABC Travel Greenbook app, created by Martinique Lewis and the Black Travel Alliance. This innovative tool helps Black travelers find safe and welcoming destinations, accommodations, and businesses worldwide, promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in travel. This Black History Month, let's celebrate the resilience and ingenuity of Black travelers past and present, and continue our commitment to sustainable and responsible travel through a lens of social justice and anti-oppression. Together, we can create a more inclusive and equitable world for all travelers. #BeARiseTraveler #RiseTravelInstitute #DiversityEquityInclusion #BlackHistoryMonth #Antioppression #ResponsibleTravel #ImpactTravel #SustainableTravel #EthicalTravel

May 8. May-8. Mate. 🤝 Today is the 8th of May, and while you might not recognise the date (and might not have any idea what it’s symbolic of), we’re here to tell you that today IS pretty important for some of us. Suggested as a better, more appropriate and respectful day to celebrate ‘Australia Day’ (which we, here at EVER, do not celebrate on the 26th of January), the 8th of May is a day to focus on friendship and connection. If you, like us, don’t celebrate the 26th of January, and are looking for a different day to love our country and the people who live here, it might be worth considering May 8.

Some interesting facts about St. Patrick’s Day: St. Patrick’s Origin: Despite being the patron saint of Ireland, St. Patrick was actually born in Britain. He was captured into slavery and taken to Ireland, where he later returned as a Christian missionary. No Snakes in Ireland: The story of St. Patrick driving snakes out of Ireland is a myth. In reality, Ireland has never had any native snake species to begin with. Leprechauns and Fairies: The leprechaun, often associated with St. Patrick’s Day, is derived from Celtic folklore. These ‘small-bodied fellows’ were believed to be fairies and were known for their shoemaking skills. “The Luck of the Irish” is a phrase that originally emerged in America during the gold and silver rush eras, when Irish miners were often successful in their endeavors. Contrary to popular belief, it’s not an old Irish saying but an American one, and it was initially used in a somewhat derogatory way to attribute the Irish miners’ successes to luck rather than their hard work. Over time, the phrase has taken on a more positive connotation, celebrating the Irish for their perceived good fortune and resilience, especially in the face of adversity. Today, it’s commonly used to express good luck and is often associated with St. Patrick’s Day celebrations.

Although this post is more personal than business oriented, I think the message is relevant for both individuals and organizations. My fellow Americans, I encourage us to celebrate our nation's holidays. All of them. (Click below to learn more.)

My king is the Lord Jesus of the Judean Royal house of David, and my nationality the Kingdom of God. We respect all kings and rulers as power and authority is of God. Where I am born and my heritage of culture, including being Danish, are layers of complexity, so I observe the matters of kingdoms. Do Australian Republicans cringe at the success of Mary, Queen of the old monarchy of Denmark, which is closely related to the British monarchy? https://lnkd.in/gTJiPysZ
