A virtual pride parade at work! Brilliant! Ilene Duhan and everyone InContext Solutions organized a fun and impactful event. I was honored to be part of it by facilitating my mini-workshop, "You Don't Act Gay and Other Microaggressions to Address at Work". In 20 minutes we covered: 🏳️🌈 Examples of common microaggressions that happen at work 🏳️🌈 Tips to make speaking up less awkward if you are on the receiving end of a microaggression 🏳️🌈 Tips to recover with grace if you inadvertently commit a microaggression Paying attention to the subtle and unintentional comments and behaviors that detract from a sense of belonging at work is so important, especially for organizations who want to make their great workplace cultures best in class! This is a great topic during Pride month and beyond. Comment "YES" below if you'd like to learn more about this workshop.

Over-Organizing is the term I use to describe organizing using an excessive number of plastic containers, ridiculous and unhelpful color-coding, and using all the space available making future additions and changes difficult. It needs to stop! www.cleanandqueer.com #queer #lgbtq #overorganizing #homeorganization #professionalorganizer #kitchenorganization

As diversity, equity, and inclusion become increasingly important, it's crucial to ensure that all voices are heard. This includes Trans people, who often face unique challenges and obstacles. In fact, it's impossible to consider yourself a DEI professional if you're not actively making room for Trans individuals in your conversations and decision-making processes. Even if you’re the lone voice standing up for them. Let's work together to create a more equitable and inclusive world for everyone. #DEI #TransRights #InclusionMatters #QuadCities #LGBTQ

Think Black lives matter v All lives matter 🤮 If we focus on women, we must not care about any other genders. If we talk about disability, you must not care about the LGBTQIA+ community. 💅 In reality, a number of us are more than one identity and we all hold them differently. 🤗 Intersectionality is the answer. Its requires us to be okay with focusing on specific identities and then being able to zoom out to see that a person is very rarely one characteristic. 🏎️ I would like to say it’s simple, but it’s as complex as people are. 😎 If we want to make it simple, ask people to be simple…. #blacklivesmatter #blm #lgbtq #women #allies #intersectionality #blackintech #blackfounder #changemanagement #buildingteams Beetroot Consulting Ltd

Here are the top three that we found in our literature review. Are there other initiatives that work in bringing inclusion alive?
