SUMMARY:Sister Circle: A Gathering for Black\, Brown & 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. \nThe Sister Circle 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. \nAfter the session\, we will celebrate the New Year with our sisters by hosting a potluck vegetarian dinner. Please feel free to bring a vegetarian dish from your country to share with others. Once you register for the event\, we will send you an email to discuss the details of the potluck. If you have any questions\, please feel free to email sayantani@herspace.no \nWhen you leave this session\, we hope you will feel loved\, seen\, heard and empowered. We look forward to seeing you. \n** Please note that in order to create a safe and supportive space\, we will “close the doors” and begin promptly at 18:05. Please arrive on time. ** \n\nCost: NOK100 \nTo register please follow the LINK \n**This event is free for HerSpace members.** \nMaximum attendees: 20 \nWe want this event to be accessible to all.

SUMMARY:Inclusive by Design: Bridging the gap between theory and practice
DESCRIPTION:In recent years\, many organizations have introduced mandatory Diversity\, Equity\, Inclusion and Belonging trainings and various internal and external initiatives to address the identified challenges. But the potential of driving true inclusion and belonging goes far beyond that. \nWhen we create or amend a service\, product\, digital tool\, or anything else – it can be inclusive by design. It is possible to start creating in a way that ensures inclusion and accessibility for ALL people. \nBut what does that mean in reality? \nJoin Diversify and Designit to learn about inclusive design and how to translate your theoretical understanding of DEIB principles into practical action\, which can drive meaningful change and foster a sense of belonging for all individuals. We will share our thoughts and tangible examples of how to bridge the gap between theory and practice. \nJoin us for this breakfast seminar on June 23 at 8.30 am at Akersbakken 12. This session is free to attend. It is a hybrid event.\nBreakfast included. The agenda for the morning and speakers will be announced soon! \n\nThis event is FREE to attend.  Please register HERE.

SUMMARY:Diversity & Inclusion in the Workplace: LGBTQIA+ – Inclusion\, Intersectionality & Equity
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 June\, we’re celebrating Pride Month and we’re discussing Inclusion\, Intersectionality & Equity within the LGBTQIA+ community. \nOur speakers for the session are Nathalie Håkenstad (She/Her)\, Account Manager & Glamazon Co-Lead for Nordics\, Justin Hester (They/Them)\, Vice President of Customer Value\, Insights\, & Industries\, and Emil Novák-Tót (He/Him)\, DEIB Researcher and Activist. The discussion is moderated by Chisom Udeze(She/Her)\, DEIB Strategist\, Diversify & HerSpace Founder.  \nThis event is FREE to attend and will be held digitally.  Please register below to receive the zoom link. \n\nSpeakers:\nNathalie Håkenstad (She/Her) | Account Manager & Glamazon co-lead for Nordics \n\n \n\n\n\nNathalie Håkenstad (she/her) is an Amazon Web Services Enterprise Account Manager\, Glamazon co-lead for Nordics and board member for women@Amazon Nordics and BEN Nordics\, driving ID&E discussions and initiatives forward not only internally within Amazon Web Services but also with partners and customers. \n\n\n\n\nWith more then 20 year experience within IT\, she is also actively campaigning for Human Right Rights\, focusing on LGBTQ+ community\, and is a board member of FossePride\, which was founded by her then 14 year old daughter Isabella. \n\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \nJustin Hester (They/Them) | Vice President of Customer Value\, Insights\, & Industries \n\n\n \n\n\nJustin Hester (they/them) is Vice President of Customer Value\, Insights\, and Industries at Cognite\, leading a global team that empowers industrial companies to view data through the lens of business outcomes\, with a specific focus on helping executives effect strategic change and drive top-line and bottom-line improvements across their organizations. \n\n\n\nPrior to Cognite\, Justin led a global team at PTC that consulted on digital transformation strategies\, leveraging their 17+ years of manufacturing innovation and leadership experience to provide hands-on recommendations resulting in $1B+ in new revenues and cost improvements for partner firms. Justin is passionate about intersectional workplace inclusivity and LGBTQIA+ issues\, and is a firm believer that everyone should work in a team and environment that allows them to freely be their authentic self at work. Justin holds an MBA\, a Master of Industrial and Systems Engineering\, and a BS in Computer Engineering & Industrial Robotics. \n  \nEmil Novák-Tót (He/Him) | DEIB Researcher and Activist \n \n\n\n\nEmil Novák-Tót (he/him) is a researcher and DEIB practitioner with about seven years of experience in linguistic and socio-psychological research in speech\, stereotypes\, charisma\, power\, belonging and related workplace dynamics. \n\n\n\nHe has worked as a researcher at Develop Diverse almost from its founding\, where he has built much of the theoretical and practical frameworks of the flagship software and surrounding services. He has contributed to designing\, writing and delivering inclusive language workshops at universities and global companies alike. He is also dedicated to contributing to employee-led initiatives and advising leadership on DEIB\, both internally and as an external advisor at CBS. \nAt the dynamic and ever-changing overlaps of various marginalised and privileged identities (white\, trans\, immigrant\, disabled\, neurodivergent)\, Emil strives to combine lived experience expertise and research in ways that are ethical and sustainable. He tries his best to approach topics of DEIB with bias-consciousness\, an open and inquisitive mindset\, radical honesty\, and from a place of critical sensitivity to how today’s inequalities have been shaped by a still ongoing history of violent Western colonisation. \nHis current fixation is trans liberation and why it’s one of two major prerequisites to gender equality. (The other one is anti-racism\, and the short answer is “because of white supremacy”). \n  \n\nModerator: Chisom Udeze | DEIB Strategist & Founder of Diversify and HerSpace\nChisom is an Economist\, a Diversity\, Equity\, Inclusion and Belonging (DEIB) Strategist\, and a 3 times founder of impact driven companies.

She is passionate about interrogating the cross-sectoral relationship between society’s inhabitants\, resources\, production\, technology\, distribution and output. She efficiently and effectively unlocks complex systems\, interprets data\, forecasts socio-economic trends and conducts research. \nHaving lived and worked in 7 countries across 3 continents\, she is highly adaptable to different circumstances and people\, and thrives in uncertain environments. \nAs the founder of Diversify and Diversify Consult\, Chisom and her team work with companies\, institutions\, governments and civil society to develop sustainable DEIB strategies and embed measurable diversity and inclusion initiatives in the workplace and society. In addition\, in 2022\, Diversify launched the Diversify Nordics Summit\, the largest conference in the Nordics that gathers cross-sectoral stakeholders to amplify DEIB in the Nordics and beyond. \nIn 2020\, she founded HerSpace\, a diverse and inclusive co-creation community for all genders\, with particular focus on women and non-binary people. In 2022\, HerSpace launched HerTech\, Women in Tech incubator\, for women-led companies\, with a focus on the inclusion of diverse founders. \nChisom is a thought-leader in DEIB and a passionate advocate for mental health and wellness. She writes often on DEIB and justice related topics\, some of her work is published on Forbes. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis event is FREE to attend and will be held digitally.  Please register HERE to receive the zoom link. \n\n\n
