Happy Pride Month! 🌈 We celebrate diversity and inclusion every day, but Pride Month gives us an extra opportunity to show our support for the LGBTQ+ community. This month, we stand with our LGBTQ+ team members, clients, and partners, honoring their contributions and recognizing the importance of creating a workplace where everyone feels valued and respected. We believe that diversity makes us stronger as a company, and we’re committed to fostering an inclusive environment where everyone can bring their whole selves to work. Whether it’s through our policies, programs, or everyday interactions, we strive to create a culture of acceptance and belonging. Pride Month is also a time for reflection and education. It’s a chance for us to learn more about the history of the LGBTQ+ rights movement and the ongoing fight for equality. By educating ourselves and having open conversations, we can continue to be allies and advocates for change. So this Pride Month, let’s celebrate love, acceptance, and equality. Let’s stand together as allies and continue to build a more inclusive world for all. #PrideMonth #LGBTQ+ #DiversityandInclusion #Equality”

I’m thrilled to share that recently we had the honor of hosting Lindsay Swanson, who provided invaluable insights into the roots of Transgender Day of Visibility 🌈 and the global significance of Pride. Listening to Lindsay's expertise on LGBTQ+ issues always leave me inspired. Having deeply involved with a local trans group in my city, I'm excited about the key takeaways to drive a significant change. 1. History matters: Understanding the origins of Transgender Day of Visibility helps us appreciate the struggles and triumphs of the LGBTQ+ community. 2. Power of Pride: Pride isn't just a celebration; it's a powerful statement of visibility, resilience and unity. It empowers millions and is a reminder of the progress made and the work that lies ahead. 3. Allyship is key: Listening to and amplifying LGBTQ+ voices is crucial. It's about standing up, speaking out and advocating for inclusivity and equality. 4. Community engagement: Our support matters to bring real impact. This is our chance to create a world where everyone feels seen, heard and valued. 🏳️🌈 Diversity and inclusion matter, after all. #TransVisibility #Pride #LGBTQ+ #Allyship #Inclusion #Ally

Embracing Diversity Beyond Pride Month! As Pride Month comes to a close, I've been reflecting on what it truly means to celebrate diversity and inclusivity. Do we need a designated month to celebrate Pride? Do we need to categorize and highlight differences so distinctly? In June, we see a surge of rainbow-coloured logos, Pride-themed content, and community speakers being invited to share their stories. But why do we focus so much on these efforts only during this month? Shouldn't recognition and celebration of the LGBTQ+ community happen every day, not just in June? Are we, as individuals, only recognized during specific months? Working at Diva, where our founder proudly belongs to the LGBTQ+ community, has taught me that celebrating people should be an everyday practice as humans are humans, irrespective of caste, creed, or gender. Inclusivity is a continuous practice. It fosters representation, drives innovation, and builds empathy. Let's make every day a celebration of diversity. 🏳🌈✨ #PrideEveryDay #InclusivityMatters #DiverseAndProud #LGBTQ #PeopleArePeople

This month we celebrated #PrideMonth, a time to honour the LGBTQ+ community's history and resilience. But let's go beyond the rainbow and delve into the history that fuels our fight for equality. The Stonewall Riots of 1969, a pivotal moment in LGBTQ+ activism, were sparked by a courageous stand against police harassment. This ignited a movement for equal rights and acceptance, and continues to inspire us today. However, Pride is about more than just celebrating identity. It's about creating a truly inclusive environment. But how do we do that? a. Educate yourself: Learn about LGBTQ+ history, terminology and experiences. b. Challenge bias: Be mindful of unconscious biases and create a safe space for open conversations. c. Advocate for equality: Support LGBTQ+ rights and initiatives within your company and community. d. Be an ally. Speak up against discrimination and promote inclusivity. Let's celebrate the progress made and continue working towards a diverse and inclusive workplace where everyone feels valued and empowered to be their authentic selves; not just during Pride month but all year round. #happypridemonth #pride #lgbtq #lgbtq+ #loveislove #inclusionforall #stonewall #fridayfeeling

🌈 Pride Month Reflections: Better Late Than Never 🌈 As June slips into the rear-view mirror, I find myself reflecting on Pride Month and that I am in a job that can directly impact on diversity and inclusion.

As Pride Month 2024 comes to a close, it's crucial to reflect on the progress made and the work that lies ahead in supporting the LGBTQ+ community. While June has been a time of celebration and visibility, our commitment to equality and inclusion must extend beyond this designated month. Moving forward, we should focus on: 1. Advocacy: Continue to push for legislative changes that protect LGBTQ+ rights and combat discrimination. 2. Education: Promote ongoing learning about LGBTQ+ history, experiences, and challenges to foster understanding and empathy. 3. Workplace inclusion: Implement and strengthen policies that ensure equal opportunities and safe environments for LGBTQ+ employees. 4. Support LGBTQ+ organizations: Contribute time, resources, or skills to organizations working year-round for LGBTQ+ equality. 5. Amplify LGBTQ+ voices: Create platforms and opportunities for LGBTQ+ individuals to share their stories and perspectives. 6. Challenge discrimination: Speak out against prejudice and support those facing harassment or unfair treatment. Remember, true allyship is an ongoing commitment. Let's carry the spirit of Pride throughout the year, working together to build a more inclusive and equitable society for all. #PrideMonth #LGBTQ #Equality #Inclusion #AllyshipInAction

On October 14, 1979, a march took place in our nation’s capital: the National March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights. Commemorating that march is one of the reasons October was chosen as LGBTQ+ History Month. Throughout October, we honor and celebrate the incredible contributions and resilience of the LGBTQ+ community. At CRA, we recognize the importance of creating an inclusive and accepting environment for everyone. As we honor LGBTQ+ History Month, let us reflect on the powerful events that set in motion our march toward equality for all, our progress, and our setbacks since then. It reminds us that despite the inevitable challenges along the way, every action creates ripples of change and paves the way for a more inclusive future. CRA is committed to fostering a workplace where everyone feels respected, valued, and included, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity. We recognize that allyship, education, and open dialogue are key to creating an environment where diversity thrives, and individuals can bring their whole selves to work. #OutLoudatCRA #LGBTQHistoryMonth #inclusiveworkplace #diversityatwork #LGBTQ #lgbtqhistorymonth2023 #BeAnAlly
