l took a 15 hour bus ride from Harare to Vic Falls coz if the space at the table is not necessarily created for you, you have to catch a bus,& go create that space for yourself!!! Previously l have been privileged to be funded to attend similiar events. On this particular occasion l searched how much a bus is, arranged with a friend who stays here and l showed up and SHOWED OUT! Some things come easier, most times you have to be intentional, about the cause you stand for. A lot of young people will say we don’t get opportunities we don’t know about this. For us to have certain privileges now our grand great-parents were not handed on a platter. Sometimes you have to fight for your voice, and lobby support. Also, the internet is your friend. Prioritize how you use your social media if you want to be in these spaces. To my esteemed elders,can it be taboo that an event of whatever level is held without at least 30% of that room being young people? We want to bask in your experience, give us the opportunity. Let's create that space for intergenerational knowledge exchange. Lives aren’t renewable, who will carry on those high-level ideas you speak of in those rooms? Also privately, mentor someone, let's create legacies as we build the Africa we want. (Continued in comments)

Is your research team or community organization new to engaging with Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AA NHPI) communities? Fostering trust is essential, but fostering trust looks different for different communities. That is why CEAL's AA NHPI Interest Group has developed a factsheet to provide insights and potential strategies for effectively engaging with AA NHPI communities, emphasizing the importance of building trust.

Real commitment to reconciliation and inclusion is demonstrated through consistent, meaningful actions that drive positive change. It’s about integrating these values into everyday practices and decisions, ensuring that the respect and recognition of First Nations communities are woven into the fabric of our organisations and society. Leadership is about more than just words—it’s about taking concrete steps to support better education, employment, housing, and health outcomes for First Nations people. It’s about listening, learning, and actively working towards a more inclusive and equitable future. As our RAP consultant, Dixie Crawford from Nganya, wisely says, "As a leader, it is not what you say during NAIDOC Week but what you do next week that tells us all who you really are." We want to encourage our colleagues, customers and partners to really think about these words to champion reconciliation, change, and celebrate First Nations communities every day. At Bunzl, we are committed to these principles and strive to embody them in all that we do. Join us in making a lasting impact and supporting First Nations communities beyond NAIDOC Week. #NAIDOCWeek #Reconciliation #FirstNations #Leadership #Inclusion #PositiveChange #Bunzl #Nganya #EverydayCommitment #BetterFuture

I've been talking a lot to #TransitioningVeterans recently about the benefits of having employees in our projects offices who know the context intimately through their lived experiences as citizens of the country, who have studied and built their career in their country. Much like I once told an eelgrass specialist looking to change behavior around eelgrass beds in Fishers Island Sound, someone coming in from the outside giving directions was not going to effect change the same way that someone of the community could, just by using their personal reputation and knowledge of influential community members. Similarly, we know from the longest war in Afghanistan that layering Western norms and processes on top of Afghan society never made much of a dent, not the way we intended. In this latest issue of the Chemonics International newsletter, we highlight our collaboration with local leaders to effect change across industries.
