SUMMARY:Diversity and Inclusion in the Workplace: Microaggressions vs. Microaffirmations
DESCRIPTION:Diversity and inclusion in the workplace is imperative for a sustainable\, competitive and innovative company and society at large. Diversity also goes beyond the outward perception of a company – it includes how the internal structures work and signal the value systems of an organization’s management or leadership team. \nThis series is designed by Diversify to centre Diversity and Inclusion in the Workplace. We look forward to seeing you! \n\nIn our Diversity and Inclusion in the Workplace session for September\, we will discuss microaggressions and microaffirmations. \nMicroaggressions are defined as the everyday\, subtle\, intentional — and oftentimes unintentional — interactions or behaviors that communicate some sort of bias toward historically marginalized groups.\n \nMicro-affirmations are small acknowledgment of another person’s value. It’s a subtle act of inclusion and kindness that goes a long way in building a culture of belonging. \n\nSpeakers to be announced soon! \nThis event is FREE to attend. Please register HERE to receive the zoom link.

SUMMARY:Bodily Autonomy\, Women’s Right and the Hijab
DESCRIPTION:A discussion on Bodily Autonomy\, Women’s Right and the Hijab  \nThere is an ongoing fight for women’s freedom to choose across the world\, from Iran and El Salvador\,  to India and the United States. Women\, men and people are taking to the streets – women burning their head scarves and cutting their hair – to protest against the murder of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini in police custody for allegedly wearing her headscarf improperly in Tehran\, while women in India are fighting for their right to wear one. In El Salvador and the United States\, women are demanding abortion rights. \nThese ongoing protests are a fight for bodily autonomy\, agency and freedom to make choices over oneself.

SUMMARY:Sister Circle: A Gathering for Black\, Brown and Women of Colour
DESCRIPTION:As Black\, Brown and women of colour\, sometimes\, we might feel that we exist in a world\, with systems and structures that were not built for us. So\, we navigate\, negotiate\, cover or fit in\, because it makes us feel safe. Nonetheless\, it can be very isolating. \nThe Sister Circle is a non judgmental space created exclusively for Black\, Brown and Women of Colour to hold space and safely explore their experiences\, feelings and emotions in a supportive environment where you neither have to explain or defend your reality. \nThe session\, facilitated by Chisom Udeze\, is an opportunity to find connection and solidarity; a space to speak your truth\, share your feelings to whatever degree you feel comfortable\, celebrate your wins\, simply listen\, or find solace in the company of other women. \nThis session is for Black\, Brown and women of colour who are: strong\, loud\, quiet\, mothers\, shy\, bold\, working\, stay-at-home\, entrepreneurs\, students\, job-seekers\, multi-taskers… we invite you to come as you are. You are magical\, worthy and needed. \nWe invite you to make and take S P A C E in authentic connection\, to benefit from the wisdom of your sisters as we connect over stories\, challenges and triumphs. Sisters’ Circle is a much needed space for women of colour to exhale\, and connect with people who truly see and hear you\, as you are. \nWhen you leave this session\, we hope you will feel loved\, seen\, heard and empowered. We look forward to seeing you.** Please note that in order to create a safe and supportive space\, we will “close the doors” and begin promptly at 18:05.
