💭 I’m not a fan of one day/week/month “celebrations” of black peoples, women and disabled people! We don’t exist for that period only! ✊🏾 If you want to celebrate Black History, then have year long conversation about how to eradicate racism & what can be done to make sustainable and equitable changes. 💁🏾♀️ If you want to celebrate Womens Day, then have year long conversations about women, their challenges and what can be done to make long lasting impactful change. 🦽If you want to celebrate Disability Week, then have year long conversations about how to remove the stigma and make life easier for disabled people. 👉🏾 We are past performative gestures and intentions, it’s time for something tangible, equitable and long lasting. #Inclusion #TrueAllyship #BreakTheStigma #RealAction #Equity
