Allyship is about action and understanding. As we gear up for Allyship Institute from Feb 26 - Mar 1, we're diving deep into the intersection of blackness and disability. It's more than just supporting from the sidelines—it's about stepping into the ring to fight for inclusivity and justice. Learn how these identities overlap, intersect, and how we can uplift and empower these vital voices. Join us on this transformative journey.

Awareness is recognizing that some kids play differently. Acceptance is being flexible when someone doesn’t play the same way as you. INCLUSION is inviting them to play regardless. Parks are hard. Maybe more for me, but I see it in her eyes too. This month is the perfect opportunity to have an age appropriate conversation about inclusion with your kids. When kids are aware they understand how to accept and most importantly INCLUDE. #autismawareness #autismacceptance #autisminclusion

🌟 Day 5: Decentering Whiteness: Creating Space for All Voices 🌟 In our ongoing celebration of Pride and Juneteenth, today we focus on the crucial task of decentering whiteness in our movements. By challenging the dominance of white perspectives, we create space for marginalized voices and build more inclusive communities. 🔍 Key Highlights: James Baldwin: Writer and social critic, addressing the complexities of race, sexuality, and class. Andrea Jenkins: First openly transgender Black woman elected to public office in the U.S., advocating for intersectional justice. Miss Major Griffin-Gracy: Transgender activist fighting for the rights of trans women of color and decentering whiteness in the LGBTQ+ movement. Quote of the Day: "The master's tools will never dismantle the master's house." – Audre Lorde Decentering whiteness is not about excluding white-skinned people but about removing the limited lens imposed by white supremacy. This approach enriches our movements, making them more inclusive and effective. 📖 Read more and join the conversation on my Substack newsletter 🎉 Upcoming Workshop! 🎉 Join us for the live workshop "Building Intentional Communities" at the end of this month to delve deeper into community-building strategies. 🔗 Register for the workshop here ➡️ https://lnkd.in/eTcK86xa 💡 Support Equity in Education Consider becoming a paid subscriber to support equity in education.

From the desk of Dr. Gerilyn Davis: Happy Thursday!! I hope your May is off to a wonderful start. I appreciate the value I receive from knowing that each new season brings new conditions. Recently, I talked to a potential client and emphasized how we were born inclusive and conditioned to be otherwise. I informed them that the best example of inclusion was a playground. Children depict inclusion in its purest form. We can recondition ourselves to remember our inclusivity. Here are some examples below. --- Recall feeling deeply connected to someone.  --- Think of a time that you felt deeply connected to yourself.  --- Now, think about being able to share that EXACT feeling with someone else. That is the joy of inclusion! Thus, the SWORD Inclusion System is a reclamation process. We reclaim who we are. It is the greatest gift we can give each other! Enjoy your day! #joyofinclusion #inclusionexpansion #strengthbasedinclusion #inclusionontheslopes #SWORDInclusionSystem #PhaseFourReviewWeekly

Men can play a crucial role in promoting diversity and inclusion by actively engaging in conversations on allyship and breaking stereotypes. By embracing their role as allies, men can contribute to social change and foster a culture of gender equality. It's important to recognize the power of allyship in driving meaningful conversations on inclusion and ultimately be the change we want to see in the world. #diversityandinclusion #allyship #womensday #breakthestereotype #genderequality #mindsetmatters #socialchange #bethechange #letsdoit PI Coaching Systems Winning Edge
