June is Pride Month – a month that symbolizes inclusivity and allyship, not just in the workplace, but in our daily lives. While these themes are brought to the forefront in the month of June, they certainly transcend a singular month.

*Embracing our Diversity* Yesterday on the central day of Pride Month, I had the opportunity to share and reflect on fundamental concepts such as intersectionality, power and privilege in the Lima office. It is important to mention that during the last four weeks, the Pride+ BRG has been able to deploy all the hard-planned virtual and hybrid events to continue consolidating inclusive and safe spaces, thus demonstrating our commitment to diversity here at #ThermoFisherScientific In the time I had in the morning we talked about: intersectionality, power and privilege, since as Marcelo Baudino says, "we cannot really get involved without first having recognized our privileges". And it is from our professional sphere, where we spend most of our time every day, where we can/should also be *agents of change* and take advantage of these spaces to learn and relearn. "Intersectionality" helps us realize that each human being is the sum of many factors that define our identity, a way of looking at our realities and how they affect each person differently. Talking about "privilege", being such a personal and broad topic, can be summarized as something "you haven't had to go through" rather than something you have gone through or had. The "Power/Privilege Wheel" (by Sylvia Duckworth's) helped me visualize and reflect on how our life experiences may differ from others. Talking about these topics, although uncomfortable at first, is crucial for our personal and professional evolution. Yesterday again we managed to raise awareness and celebrate that above all: we are human beings, colors can vary... #ProudToBePart #PrideMonth2024 An special thank you María Polo Capuñay for the valuable conversation that reinforced these concepts!

In a recent speech commemorating Juneteenth, I wanted to connect the spirit of freedom and progress to a vital topic for our workplaces: the difference between diversity and inclusion. Vernā Myers, perfectly captured this sentiment when she said, "Diversity is being invited to the party. Inclusion is being asked to dance." Imagine your workplace as a dance floor. Diversity is ensuring everyone's invited to the party – a beautiful mosaic of backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. But inclusion? That's making sure everyone feels welcome to join the dance. It's about fostering an environment where every individual feels valued, heard, and empowered to contribute their unique steps to the company's rhythm. As we reflect on Juneteenth's legacy, let's ask ourselves: How do we create workplaces where everyone feels comfortable stepping onto the dance floor? Where the music of collaboration and innovation is fueled by diverse voices? Share your thoughts and experiences below. Let's build on this historic moment to create truly inclusive cultures for the future. #Juneteenth #diversityandinclusion #leadership #corporateculture #workplaceculture

March's topic: Diversity & Inclusion ******* 3: Integrating Cultural Wisdom Last year, we took a 365 journey together, exploring Ancient wisdom, learning how, across the globe, our ancestors approached life. Reflecting on human history, it’s clear that every culture brings something special to the table. Today, as we are merging these rich histories into our global workplaces, we’re reconnecting with age-old wisdom that teaches us better ways to live and work together. It’s like opening a book that has waited for ages to be read, full of stories that remind us how to be kinder, more understanding, and genuinely connected to one another. ******* Let’s make a pledge, dear Green Heart Warriors, to not just coexist but to truly understand and celebrate what each unique background brings to our collective workplace. And remember, despite our diverse traditions and practices, deep down, we’re all driven by the same desires - to belong, to be understood, and to be appreciated for who we truly are. Stay well.

"Be yourself; everyone else is already taken." - Oscar Wilde As we bid farewell to Pride Month today, I feel compelled to share some reflections. Over the past month, I've been inspired by countless posts on LinkedIn that have celebrated diversity, advocated for inclusion, and championed acceptance. Today marks the closure of Pride Month, but it's important to remember that the spirit of this month extends far beyond these 30 days. The essence of Pride Month is about acknowledging and appreciating our differences, about fostering an environment where everyone feels valued for who they are. #Diversity and #inclusion aren't just buzzwords - they are fundamental to a healthy society and a thriving workplace. They drive innovation, foster creativity, and above all, they make us human. Accepting people for who they are, without judgment, is not just about tolerance, but about respect and understanding. It's about recognizing that our differences are what make us unique. As Pride Month comes to a close, let's carry forward its message, celebrate diversity, champion inclusion, and strive for a world where everyone is proud of who they are. 🏳️🌈 #PrideMonth #Diversity #Inclusion #Acceptance
