My Hair. My Crown. My Professional Right. Our hair texture and styles are a part of our identity & story, not a measure of our potential. Yet, shockingly, discrimination based on hair remains a real issue in the workplace. In 2019, California became the first state to enact #TheCROWNAct, protecting individuals from hair discrimination. But as of 2024, only 25 states have followed suit. This legislation is long overdue nationwide. The CROWN Act ensures that no one faces bias because of their natural hair texture, protective styles like braids and locs, or hair that reflects their racial or ethnic identity. Join Dove and The CROWN Act in demanding change by signing the petition now at Dove.com/CROWN and let's make all schools and workplaces more inclusive! #PassTheCROWN #CROWNCoalition #Dove #ProfessionalEquality

This is what “equity” means.

Inclusiveness should be an essential in any design process, this is how we make the world a better place by designing for our biodiversity ensure a fully functional and innovative ecosystem in life in general.

Thank you, Matel and Barbie!!! I want to introduce the concept of 'windows, mirrors, and sliding glass doors.' This educational theory, often used for children's literature, can apply to adults in a workplace. Everyone needs a mirror to see themselves reflected in the world around them. They also need windows for a glimpse of different perspectives and sliding glass doors to step into those worlds and explore. Corporate DEI initiatives can provide these essential elements. For example, they can offer diverse representation in leadership, which acts as a mirror for many employees. They can also foster inclusive work environments that serve as windows into different cultures and experiences. And by supporting employee development and growth, they can provide sliding glass doors that open up new opportunities. To dismiss the value of these experiences is to overlook the profound impact they can have on individuals and organizations. More importantly an experience like this young girl's.

This video is one of the MANY reasons why diversity and inclusion should be MUST in all we do. Representation will ALWAYS matter. 🤎🤎🤎 #alwaysaseatatthetable #dei #diversity #equity #inclusion #blindbarbie #barbie #representationmatters

Watching this little girl open this box really made my heart smile. It reminded me that companies can and do make products that change lives. Everyone deserves to be seen. I’m not as acquainted as I could be about resources for children who are blind, but this post reminded me that we cannot continue perpetuating a culture that normalizes some abilities. Also this organizational psychologist has some great content. Psychologists At Work - With Colleen MSC Everyone deserves to be seen and heard. #equityandinclusion #weseeyou #careercoach

Age-positive or patronising? Whilst we welcome the Laura Geller Makeup ad's aim to encourage women aged 50+ to embrace their age, this ad risks infantilising the women who are portrayed as rather silly airheads desperately trying to cling to youth. Do you find this marketing message age-positive or does it reinforce stereotypes? #agepositive #advertising #marketing #50plus

So many disabled people are told the ways that their bodies and/or minds show up in spaces isn't ok. Gentle reminder today that no matter how your disability presents, and no matter what society says, how you are as a disabled person is acceptable. #DanceForAllAbilities #RepresentationMatters #DisabilityJustice #BlackDisability #DisabilityCommunity #DisabilityInclusion #BlackAndDisabled #DisabilityPride #Ableism . . .

Below text reads “India Harville” and an image of India Harville, Black woman with long curly locs smiling while standing in her black Zeen mobility device.
