Recognizing a need for broader community engagement on public projects, an innovative approach has been created in Rochester, Minnesota. It's called Community Co-Design -- a process that encourages, compensates and prioritizes the inclusion of diverse populations throughout the design and development process. Chao Mwatela, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Director for the City of Rochester, and Kevin Bright, Director of Housing and Sustainability for the Destination Medical Center Economic Development Agency and City of Rochester, were both involved in the formation of Community Co-Design. In the past two years, 10 local community co-design pilots have been completed. The success of Community Co-Design has caught the eye of Bloomberg Philanthropies, which awarded the City of Rochester a million-dollar grant in the Global Mayor's Challenge for its work in Community Co-Design.

The theme for Black History Month this year is 'time for change: Action not words'. We were joined by Adeife Onwuzulike, Global Diversity Equity and Inclusion Director of Euromonitor International to talk about how recruitment businesses can champion this change by building strong partnerships with their clients and by acting as champions of inclusion in recruitment. In this thought-provoking discussion, Adeife and Neil will take you through: • A recap of Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) in recruitment • EDI forecasts for 2023 • How are recruiters and employers working together to ensure that middle to senior-level shortlists are truly diverse? • What recruiters and employers need to be adopting in 2023 and the impact of investors like Legal and General on organisations in ensuring a diverse pipeline • What does a truly inclusive recruitment practice look like from an employer and recruiter perspective? • What quality controls are in place to ensure that inclusion is a “part of” and not an “add on”?

As such, his thinking often moves across disciplines, linking practical matters to questions of ethics, combining his experience of farming with his knowledge of Jewish thought.

This allows company leadership real transparency into what's happening in their companies—and the motivation to address issues quickly. Our goal is to help create safer, more inclusive companies.

What is Critical Race Theory and what do advocates for inclusive education need to know about the Anti-CRT movement? For this super-sized episode, we share the story of an inclusive Maryland principal who was pushed out of taking a job as a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Director in Cherokee County, Georgia. A devastating side-effect of the backlash against CRT is the damage that has been done to educational equity initiatives. These initiatives are the very ones that inclusive education advocates have been trying to connect the dots from disability rights to equity for all students. We interview four individuals with experience and expertise in CRT: King Williams, a filmmaker, and journalist in Atlanta, GA Alida Miranda-Wolff, a professional in the Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging sector in Chicago, IL Eddie Fergus, a professor at Temple University Pete Newlove, a doctoral student at the University of Colorado and current high school English teacher Referenced in the episode: Cherokee Schools' would-be diversity administrator shares why she stepped down (Cherokee Tribune & Ledger News) Teacher Anti-CRT Bills Coast To Coast: A State By State Guide (Forbes) Plessy v.

At the end of May Salesforce announced their latest quarterly revenues of $5.96B, estimating they are on track for annual revenues of $26B this fiscal year – adding up to a 22% year-over-year growth. OK this ends the CNBC segment of this post, but I wanted to point out the big numbers because these numbers came while Salesforce has also been growing and deepening their efforts with corporate diversity, equality and inclusion (DEI). So revenues continue growing alongside efforts to make the entire Salesforce ecosystem more equal and inclusive do as well. Which is one of the key points that Minea Moore, Ecosystem Diversity & Inclusion Director for Salesforce, made clear during our LinkedIn Live conversation from earlier this week.

Together with our Built Environment, Diversity, and Sustainability Committees, we focus on creating inclusive cities and resilient communities that work.

Some of these disabilities are invisible and with 50% of the world's population currently living in cities, there is an opportunity to review and futureproof the future cities' ecosystem to ensure the inclusion of invisible disabilities on cities planning agenda. Hear from Batya Shulman, Partner at St. James's Place, Ron Loh, Director, Enablers Development of SG Enable, Sofia Magad, Principal Transport Engineer at Mott MacDonald Singapore, Mei-Yee Man Oram, Access and Inclusive Environments Lead at Arup, Lisa Mulligan, Group Diversity & Inclusion Director of Worley and Dorine Kuo, Project Manager at Arup as they discuss: The challenges and opportunities in the economic, financial, health, infrastructure and planning arenas in discussing frameworks aimed to cater for the "exceptions"; Disabilities, whether visible or invisible, incur direct and indirect costs that the WHO recognizes as significant and yet difficult to quantify; Key challenges from various industries linked together by the common goal of creating a sustainable and resilient ecosystem for people living or caring for individuals with invisible disabilities.

When LGBT children’s literature was first introduced, two moms or two dads were represented as being the typical LGBT family, doing traditional family-style activities. The family dynamic has changed significantly over time, and today’s LBGT family might look quite differently: single moms, single dads, aunts, and uncles raising kids, grandparents, adopted and foster families are all widely seen now. Most data available to youth is in middle school and high school, and any inclusive idea is if you introduce the concept of the various family dynamics early on when children get to those later grades, it’s no big deal. Just a family. Their family! Amanda and Vickie chat with special guest Wendy Evans, concerning a project very close to her heart. Please listen in! Wendy Evans is the Inclusion Director at A Child’s Place in Costa Mesa, an early childcare center. Wendy’s passion project is bringing more representation of LGBT children’s literature and LGBT 101 Training to early childhood centers. She is the liaison between the LGBT Center in Orange County and the Orange County Association for the Education of Young Children.   Show Highlights: The goal of LGBT early education is family representation and does not focus on safe sex or HIV. National Association of the Education of Young Children: their code of ethics is not participating in things that will harm children. By not bringing up LGBT families and discussing their world, you’re in effect harming them, and saying something is wrong with their family. The Rainbow and Human Rights Campaign are universal signs of LGBT-friendly and safe spaces where one might “out” themselves. LGBT 101 Training: LGBT stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender. Sometimes there will be a letter “Q” at the end, which stands for Queer, or Questioning. “Queer” used to be a derogatory term, but the youth have given it a new meaning. Getting caught up in labels. Amanda, Vickie, and Wendy discuss transgenderism in children. In some locations, teachers can be fired if they are part of the LGBT community.  Considering changing “Mom” and “Dad” on intake forms to “Parent 1” and “Parent 2” The early childcare curriculum has the backing of the California Preschool Foundation  Links/Resources: Thank you for listening!

Episode 129 Interview Emma Houston: Your Fierceness-Own it! Live it! Welcome to the Love Your Story podcast. Today I’m talking with Emma Houston. I met her as I sat in the audience at a women’s empowerment weekend seminar. I loved her message, her spunk, her authentic energy and I wanted her to share with you the same things she shared with us in the audience that day. She is a thriver, a supporter, a victor, a mentor and a cheerleader for people going through life’s challenges. She’s a spunky little black woman, an active member of the Calvary Baptist Church, and the owner and CEO of Brighter Day Productions. Emma Houston Hails from Texas originally. In 2016 she was appointed as Diversity and Inclusion Director by mayor Ben McAdams for the Salt Lake County’s Office of Diversity Affairs, so she is obviously now in Utah. She is the former chairwoman of the Governor’s Office of Ethnic Affairs and former secretary for the YWCA Board and UAA Board. She is a cancer survivor and serves on the Huntsman Cancer Foundation Community Advisory Committee. She is also the chair for the Martin Luther King Commission.  She is passionate about sharing her skills and connections and working with communities. She has survived the storms of life with style and grace and seeks to cheer on those in the battle. Tune into the audio program for my interview with Emma. For more information on Emma: (http://www.facebook.com/emma.e.houston)    /16/55b/723  (http://www.linkedin.com/pub/emma-e-houston/16/55b/723)   I’ve been wondering, what you, the listeners, think about the line-up of interviews I’ve been hosting. Sometimes it feels like I interview  people who have had a lot of struggle, and while the interviews are all about illustrating through our stories how to get past our struggles, I don’t want there to be a feeling of “Oh My Gosh, what depressing story are we going to get today?” I want to tell stories that create hope and faith. I think I do. The people on the podcast are the ones thriving despite their challenges. They are icons of getting in the arena and standing back up.  My interview with Emma was all about her great attitude, spirit, and sense of humor – all important in living out those life stories – tough and otherwise. But,  I’d love your feedback. I’d love to know which episodes you’re really connecting with and which ones you like or don’t like. You can reach me at www.loveyourstorypodcast.com (http://www.loveyourstorypodcast.com) , or hop on our FB page – Love Your Story podcast. Love to get your feedback. Thanks for tuning in. I couldn’t do this without the audience and I hope with all my heart that you are finding value. I know I am. These people are amazing!
