Anyone with a brain, heart, and soul knows women need to support women. Here on Long Island, women can’t afford NOT to support one another and I mean this in the most literal sense. We have the WIDEST gender wage gap in New York State so it’s clear if we don’t have each other's backs, no one will. ☝️ But here’s what I fear. ❗️Women supporting women is a thing we say we want but we don’t always do. I’m an optimist, so I don’t think it’s intentional but I do think it’s because we’re too busy with our heads down, glued to our desks doing the work and isolating ourselves. This exacerbates the problem because we need to build a professional community and connection so we can be trusted allies, open doors and act as street-cred-worthy advocates for one another.  Men do this all the time. Ever heard of the boys club? I assure you, it’s not going away. Jackie and I feel strongly about women coming together, IRL, to connect, share, learn, grow, and inspire each other. That’s why we’re hosting The ReImagine Conference, a full-day immersive experience where women from all sectors of business will come together, right here on Long Island. It’s happening on June 11th at the Marriott in Melville. It’s where we will sow the seeds of change and create a future where equality for all women isn’t just a dream—it’s the norm. I assure you, there will be hugs, high-fives, and I bet some tears of validation and joy. Early bird tickets are on sale now.

📢 International Women's Day is only for Women 📢 A reasonable conclusion when looking around the room at any IWD event right? But (hopefully) no-one actually agrees with that. So where are the men? Of the ones I asked, most of them feel excluded. They don't have first-hand experience of these topics so it's not their place to comment. If that's you - I encourage you to be a part of the conversation. Gender equality is not a female issue, it's a social and economic imperative. It's crucial that men are included in this equation. After all, men make up about half of the global population and hold the majority of leadership positions. I believe that International Women's Day offers a platform for men to embrace feminism, not to be excluded from it. If you come with an open mind, ask questions, and listen to the stories around you - I promise you'll be welcomed with open arms, no matter who you are 🤗 So, if you want an event to go to, why not start with this one (it's a good one): https://lnkd.in/eudFHmQp #InternationalWomensDay #BristolInclusionHackathon #Inclusion

🙅🏾♀️ Inclusion is essential. It’s about more than words; it’s a mindset, a dedication to honour diversity and the unique contributions of all. This International Women’s Day, Adron Homes salutes the remarkable women in real estate and beyond. 🏡👩💼 For us, inclusion is crafting spaces where backgrounds and genders are not barriers but bridges to unity. It’s about amplifying every voice and valuing every perspective. 🌐 Today, and every day, let’s champion inclusion in our communities and workplaces. Together, let’s build a world where everyone can flourish. To all the women making strides: Happy International Women’s Day! 💜 #Inclusion #Empowerment #WomensDay2024 #AdronHomes"

How many of us can confidently say that we’re actively inclusive? How often do we question it in ourselves, and then go out of our way to foster more inclusive conversations and working environments? This International Women’s Day, we seek to answer the question of how we can all do better to inspire and embrace inclusion within all aspects of our business.   #PictetWealthManagement #InternationalWomensDay #InspireInclusion

“There’s enough room at the table... Pull up some more chairs”. - Sue Liburd MBE DL FRSA 🪑🌟 Inclusion isn't just about making space, it's about inviting everyone to join the conversation. Let's expand our tables, amplify diverse voices, and foster environments where everyone feels valued. When we pull up more chairs, we create a stronger, more vibrant community. Let's make sure there's a seat for everyone. 🌍❤️ #BIW2024 #blackinclusionweek #empowerment #inspiration #empoweredforchange #blackempowerment #Empowerment #BuildingABetterFuture #buildingabetterfuturetogether #inclusiveopportunities #blackinclusion #Inclusion #Diversity #StrongerTogether #SeatAtTheTable

In weaving the social fabric, strands of diversity, equality, and dignity intertwine; yet, sometimes, knots of disparity tighten the threads too much. 🔹 Equity vs Equality - Is the playing field level if everyone has the same ladder, despite differing wall heights? 🔹 Opportunity - Do doors open or close based on the name on a resume? 🔹 Digital Divide - Access isn't just about connectivity, but the power to navigate the byte-sized realities of our lives. Let's unpick these knots. By fostering inclusion, advocating for those in the shadows, and championing connectivity for all, we can knit a tapestry worthy of our collective heritage. Join me in the discussion—because solving social issues doesn't only require a village, but an entire networked world. #SocialJustice #Diversity #Inclusion #OpportunityForAll

Today: International Women’s Day 🤩 Today we reflect on how our behaviour as a company improves equality and supports women's rights within our community, clients, and network. These are a few things we want to share 👇🏼 🌟 We create supportive environments with respect and empathy for everyone's personal situation and well-being, flexibility in the processes and deadlines, and having 4-day week for staff. 🌟 We encourage everyone to develop their full potential. We explore and learn together, sharing roles, co-building. 🌟 We create the space and time to let everyone have a say and openly listen and observe with compassion, integrating and being accountable on the outcomes. 🌟 We relate in a human way both with the community and with our clients (who we consider partners). These are some of the things we do in order to create and support women’s rights at Stone Soup, do you have recommendations of more things we could do? 🙏🏽 #IWD2024 #InspireInclusion

Why centering intersectionality? Employers and government can develop policies that support intersectionality, going beyond singular identity markers to create more inclusive workplaces. At the 2024 mayor’s summit there will be facilitated discussions on barriers to employment faced by various communities and how to dismantle these barriers effectively. When barriers are being dismantled, it is most sustainable to view it from an intersectional lens.
