🔔 Understanding and Remembering the Stonewall Riots 🌈 As we continue to champion diversity and inclusion in all aspects of life, it's crucial to remember pivotal moments in history that have shaped the fight for equality. Today, we reflect on the Stonewall Riots, a turning point in the LGBTQ+ rights movement. In June 1969, the Stonewall Inn in New York City became the epicenter of a powerful uprising. Sparked by a police raid, the patrons and the local LGBTQ+ community fought back against years of discrimination and oppression. This courageous stand marked the beginning of the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement, leading to the first Pride marches and the formation of numerous advocacy groups. As we reflect on this significant history, let’s recommit to fostering an environment where everyone, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity, can live and work without fear of discrimination. #StonewallRiots #Pride #LGBTQ #Diversity #Inclusion #ClinicalResearch

Pride Month 🌈❤️ Did you know, LGBTQ+ young people are twice as likely to experience loneliness compared to their non-LGBTQ+ peers (Just Like Us, 2021)? Following various COVID lockdowns, the Return to Play initiative encouraged many return to sports, however it was said that LGBTQ+ young people, still faced various barriers in returning. Physical group activities are effective in combating loneliness by reducing isolation and fostering meaningful social interactions (ukactive, 2018). We have been working on various projects over the last couple of years, to try and break down barriers that LGBTQ+ young people face in volleyball. This effort aims to reduce stigma, combat social isolation, and increase inclusivity within Volleyball and beyond, encouraging sports communities to prioritize and address loneliness ❤️ #LGBTQ #PrideMonth #Inclusive #Volleyball #VEF #VolleyballEnglandFoundation

This June, I reread an article I wrote last year. Unfortunately, we’ve seen MORE legislative harm and attacks on the LGBTQ+ community over the passing year. It reminded me that the structures we create (in any environment) produce behaviors that serve that structure. As business leaders, we must be very intentional about the structures we create. Are we promoting inclusivity and acceptance? Or are we creating an environment that allows for or excuses exclusivity? The private sector can be a powerful channel to demonstrate what we stand for and demand when legislation fails us. 🏳️🌈 https://lnkd.in/eCTpyYvz
