Equity and inclusion

START BECOMING HUMAN FIRST

Happy Pride, y'all. Pride is officially the month of June, but in truth it's all year long. We may celebrate it in different ways, but it's all tied to the freedom to live our lives openly and honestly. So be who you are for your priiiiiiiide! And if you don't know, here's the video: https://lnkd.in/e2mnsJZM

This is the tragedy for most wheelchair users using public transport. Mobility should be extended to public transport services. Service providers should consider adapting public transport with automated ramps to allow for easy access into busses, trains and aeroplanes etc. #Disability #NDCN #Inclusivity #Mobility

June is a month filled with celebrations and recognition, but it often feels like the focus on PRIDE overshadows other significant observances, particularly Caribbean Heritage Month. As someone of Caribbean descent, it’s important to acknowledge and celebrate the rich cultures and contributions of people from the Caribbean. For me, It’s frustrating to see the overwhelming support for PRIDE while Caribbean Heritage Month—and the issues of racial inequality and inequity—receives less attention. This is not to say that PRIDE shouldn't be recognized—it absolutely has its place. However, the challenges faced by Black and Brown communities, including those of Caribbean descent, are deeply ingrained and pervasive, requiring much more visibility and support. Being Black or Brown in America involves navigating a landscape of bias and systemic inequality that is often more visible and more complex. As we move through June, let's ensure that we are also amplifying the voices and experiences of people of Caribbean descent and committing to the ongoing fight for racial justice and equity. I am all for each having its rightful shine but not at the expense of another.

November holds a special significance in the #USA as a month dedicated not only to expressing gratitude, but also to honoring and celebrating Native American Heritage. Designated as #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth, this period serves as an opportunity to delve into the rich history, diverse cultures, and enduring contributions of #NativeAmerican peoples. In the spirit of recognizing and commemorating Native American Heritage Month, we want to shine a spotlight on Brian McKenna's impactful show, Chiefs. Chiefs is a six-part series from Multicom Entertainment Group, Inc. that intricately explores the lives of the great leaders, #warriors, and diplomats of the #FirstNations, whose stories form a central drama of the North American continent. Combining #documentary elements with dramatic reenactments, the #series vividly brings to life the power, spirit, and mystery of the First Nations while also seeking to separate myth from reality. You can learn more about it below or watch it now at TheArchive.tv here: https://lnkd.in/gq7xizgN As Americans gather around the #Thanksgiving table, it's crucial to recognize that for many Native Americans, Thanksgiving is a day of sorrow and activism. The #holiday, commemorating the arrival of settlers in North America and the subsequent centuries of #oppression and #genocide, prompts reflection on a more nuanced history. The myth of #Thanksgiving implies a harmonious gathering between #Native people and pilgrims to celebrate the #Plymouth colony's survival. However, the reality of the "First Thanksgiving" in 1621 is more complex. Native people were not initially invited, and Wampanoag soldiers independently arrived after hearing celebratory gunshots and screams from #pilgrim settlements. #americanindian #thearchive #multicom #streaming #entertainment #november

It’s all about knowing the rules….

Let's raise a glass to 90 years of the official Repeal Day, marking the end of the Prohibition era! On December 5th, 1933, the 21st Amendment was passed, lifting the prohibition of alcohol in the United States. We have come a long way in the past 90 years, especially most recently with the proliferation of craft spirits in the U.S. So many unique and dynamic libations to sip and savor. Cheers to the next 90 years! #liquorlawyer #spiritsindustry #spiritsbusiness #drinksbusiness #drinksindustry

Imagine the chessboard of life, where each of us represents a different piece. Some may hold positions of power and influence, while others may feel like mere pawns in the game. But as the game progresses and eventually ends, something quite significant happens. The distinctions between these roles blur, and we're again left with the essence of our shared humanity. In this analogy, the king, queen, and pawns all symbolize the various roles and hierarchies we encounter in life. However, these roles eventually lose that significance. What truly matters is the journey we've shared, the lessons we've learned, and the connections we've formed along the way. Regardless of whether you've been a king, a queen, or a humble pawn simply navigating the board, we all return to the same box. The ultimate equalizer—the realization that underneath our titles and positions, we are all equally deserving of love, respect, and understanding. It's a reminder to embrace empathy, compassion, and unity, recognizing that each person, regardless of their status or role, contributes to our collective experience. Honor our diversity, celebrate our shared journeys, and strive to create a world where everyone feels valued and respected. #lifeisagame #unityindiversity #thegameoflife #humanityfirst #embraceourdifferences #celebratedifference #sharedjourney #powerofconnection #beyondboundaries #humanityinaction #interconnectedness
