Here's a short blog that I've written for Cordis Bright as part of Pride Month.

This is an incredibly powerful and moving celebration of resilience, compassion, service, and human dignity. You elevate those who have persevered through trauma to become catalysts for positive change, using their pain to make the world better. Applauding individuals who find fulfillment in giving back and creating opportunities for others, despite enjoying personal success, is so inspiring. Your recognition of the struggles of young, single parents giving their all; fathers staying present despite adversity; individuals refusing to be defined by past mistakes - it exalts the extraordinary strength and grace found in ordinary lives. Celebrating ethical businesses, employees persisting through toxicity, and all those choosing service over self-interest is a poignant reminder of the heroes among us. But perhaps most profoundly, you celebrate the human ability to find light in darkness - the poor embracing joy, the rich building bridges, and all those making "much of King Jesus" through humble purpose rather than ego. An incredibly beautiful appreciation of the capacity for human dignity and resilience in the face of any circumstance. In a world often focused on division and negativity, your vision lifts up what is most noble and uplifting in the the human spirit. A perspective that makes space for empathy, nuance and the sacredness in everyday perseverance. An immensely powerful and hope-giving outlook that I deeply resonate with and aspire to embody. Truly a must-read for anyone seeking a restored faith in our vast potential for good.

What do you celebrate? I celebrate those who’ve experienced trauma but instead of playing the victim card, they’ve chosen to use their experience as a catalyst to make the world a better place. I celebrate those who’ve been successful enough that they could satisfy every personal want, yet they choose to give to create transformative opportunities for those in need. I celebrate the young parents who don’t have it all together, but they are giving it their best. I celebrate the single mom who is working two jobs and raising kids on her own.   I celebrate the dad who pays child support and keeps showing up for his kids even though he didn’t receive a fair shake. I celebrate those who've made mistakes but refuse to be forever defined by them. I celebrate the organizations that do business justly and treat employees fairly.   I celebrate the employees who show up in toxic environments to put food on the table until they can find something better. I celebrate everyone who is seeking to serve rather than be served. I celebrate those who love their neighbors as they love themselves. I celebrate the poor who live with joy amid difficult circumstances. I celebrate the rich who build bridges rather than walls. I celebrate everyone who is seeking to make much of King Jesus rather than try to find a crown for themselves. What do you celebrate?

"Being a declared year-round ally is much more powerful and welcome than waving a flag for Pride Month and then disappearing until next year’s parade. The industry needs more root and branch change and less fluff and guff." As we approach the end of Pride Month 2024, big group's Ed Riseman explores why buzzwords can risk DEI messaging coming across as a script, how to ensure they remain meaningful and why year-round allyship is so important: https://lnkd.in/escVhkBz
