The Marker San Francisco’s Post

My biggest personal passion is advocating for inclusivity, especially in professional settings. I believe in a future where everyone feels accepted for who they truly are, not just fitting into a corporate mold. So, as we approach events and conferences, you will most likely catch me sporting pink & glitter, and space buns will definitely be my go-to hairstyle! Let's create environments where individuality is celebrated. I encourage you to embrace what makes you unique. Stand out, be different, be weird—it's where the magic happens!! 🦄 Here's to authenticity and positive change in ALL our workplaces and beyond. ✨In a sea of black, navy, and grey, how do you express yourself? ✨ #EmbraceUniqueness #InclusiveWorkplaces #BeYou

Why is #diversity and #inclusion important in #business? We believe that Black Finch thrives on diversity because when you’re in design culture, you need a broad range of influences to make an interesting design story and for us, that can only come from collaborating with a very diverse team. We’d love to know your thoughts! 💭 #workplaceculture #workplaceequality #diversityandinclusion

🌟 Belonging is not just about fitting in; it's about feeling seen, heard, and valued. It's about finding your place in a world that often feels vast and overwhelming. Whether it's within a team, a company, or a community, the sense of belonging is what fuels our spirit and drives our success. 🔹 As we navigate through our professional journeys, it's crucial to create spaces where everyone feels a sense of belonging. This goes beyond diversity and inclusion initiatives; it's about fostering genuine connections and building a culture of empathy and support. 🔹 When individuals feel like they belong, they are more engaged, motivated, and productive. They bring their authentic selves to the table, leading to innovative ideas and collaborative solutions. 🔹 Remember, belonging is a two-way street. It requires us to not only seek inclusion for ourselves but also extend that same sense of belonging to others. It's about creating a community where everyone feels like they matter. 🌟 Let's strive to be the champions of belonging in our workplaces and beyond. Let's celebrate our differences, embrace diversity, and foster a culture of inclusivity where everyone has a seat at the table. Because when we all feel like we belong, that's when true magic happens. 🌟 #Belonging #DiversityandInclusion #Inclusivity #Community #Empathy #Support #ProfessionalJourney #Authenticity

As we enter the final week of June, consider the importance of celebrating diverse communities at work all year—and making space for every type of person 💚 That means making space to celebrate moments like #Pride, Indigenous rights, diverse abilities, and the multitude of ethnicities, races, and gender expressions. To offer some inspiration, we asked Good On You’s Chief People Officer 🦩 Claudia Barriga-Larriviere to share some advice 🌈 “A lot of people who really believe they are truly coming from a very benevolent place believe that politics and allyship belong outside of the workplace,” Claudia says. “‘We want to just work,’ which is very cute because not everybody gets to ‘just work’.” “Things like Pride are very targeted in terms of the time of year and how long it happens: we can shine spotlights on specific things that need change, that need attention, effort, love, resources, and thought. All of this is so that, in a year’s time, we know Pride is coming—and that change sticks.” “So why then do businesses need to take a stance? Not only are your people the people you should care about—whose livelihood you’re responsible for—they’re more than one thing. So are the communities and the people you serve, like your customers, your providers, and your suppliers. If those people or anyone inside your purse of employees, the people most proximate to you, are struggling with being accepted for their identity, not feeling secure in their job because of who they are, then they don’t get to ‘just work.’” “Until everybody gets to ‘just work’, we can’t take our foot up the pedal,” Claudia says. Brilliant insights to take with you into the coming months to ensure that you’re making space within your workforce and within the larger industry for diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Let's talk about fostering inclusivity. You know, inclusivity isn't just a buzzword; it's a vital cornerstone of building a truly supportive and thriving community. It's about creating spaces where everyone feels valued, heard, and respected. It's more than just checking off boxes—it's about welcoming the unique value that each individual brings to our shared table. As a leader, I've learned that creating a space where every voice feels not just heard, but truly valued and respected, isn't just a leadership perk—it's the very soul of what we do. How do you foster inclusivity in your own circles? It could be something as simple as actively listening to someone's story or standing up against injustice when you see it. Every action, no matter how small, has the power to make a difference. Let's make a commitment together to cultivate inclusivity wherever we go. Let's be the change-makers, the ones who create spaces where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued. Whenever we embrace diversity, we enrich our lives in ways we never thought possible. I welcome all to share your experiences with fostering inclusivity. Your stories will inspire us all to keep pushing for a brighter, more inclusive future. #InclusivityMatters #CommunityStrong #TogetherWeCan
