If dressing head to toe in rainbow colors helps someone feel comfortable being their authentic self, I’ll do it! Today, on #NationalComingOutDay, I celebrate those that have taken the courageous step to live their truth. 🏳️🌈 You see, you never come out just once. It's a constant process every time you meet someone new. In a world where 76% of #LGBTQ youth face bullying at school and 50% of LGBTQ individuals feel unable to be out at work — we must ensure a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment for everyone. At Accenture, we believe in the power of authenticity and strive for a workplace where everyone can proudly be who they are. #Inclusion #Diversity #Pride

June is an awareness month of visibility, acceptance, and celebrating diversity. #Pride is a reminder of a huge turning point for LGBTQ rights and a chance to be thankful for the trailblazers who paved the way for changes all those years ago. 🙏 "The benefit of standing up for your rights is that others see you standing up - and then stand shoulder to shoulder with you." When it comes to creating positive, inclusive cultures, we know that it's more than just rainbow logos; it's about fostering genuine acceptance, implementing inclusive policies, providing education and support, and actively challenging discrimination to ensure everyone feels valued and respected year-round. That’s why we’ve dipped into #GECKnowHow, the biggest collection of DEI resources* - for everyone, to highlight brilliant books, popular podcasts and fantastic films for Pride month and beyond: https://lnkd.in/egSCfpuj #bookrecommenations #DEI #diversity #inclusion #equality #LGBTQ #representationmatters #InclusionRevolution #pridemonth *we’re pretty sure it is

Navigating high school is challenging for many teens, but LGBTQ students often face additional pressures.

Back by popular demand! Join our friends @SanMateoPride for "Becoming Aware of our Assumptions: Conversations to Create More Inclusive Spaces" on Wednesday, May 29th from 6-8pm on Zoom. We all move through the world with assumptions and belief systems that impact our attitudes, behaviors, and interactions. The issue is not with our assumptions but whether we are aware of them. This interactive workshop is designed to help us carefully identify our biases, explore their roots, and determine methods to not let them hinder our interactions with others. The Pride Center provides a safe space for learning, exercises, and dialogue to better enable participants to foster safe spaces in our everyday lives. As the Bay Area prepares for June Pride celebrations, this pre-SOGIE/LGBTQ 101 curriculum fosters a safe space to help bring awareness to our own implicit biases about the LGBTQ community. Supported by Kaiser Permanente, this training will run in a carefully held space, allowing work to begin to unpack our own internalized assumptions by asking ourselves where they come from. Register quickly! This training will be capped at a 50-person maximum to foster a safe and grounding experience for all.
