"Ever notice how people float into your life at just the right time, and then they float back out?” I've had the joy of @FeliciaBlow floating into my learning journey twice, and each time I've walked away with immense gratitude for her insights. #DiverseVoices@Culpwrit
After completing @culpwrits #diversevoices course, the north star I choose came from @FeliciaBlow. It is that “we have to be proactive”- only 5 words, but important. Talking about DEI&B is great, however the real solution is in the actions we take.
@HelenCShelton said it best when she stated, “What is the bottom line, what is the solution.” While it is important to have conversations about DE&I, each conversation needs to end with actionable steps; otherwise, it is just an ongoing conversation. #diversevoices@Culpwrit
Defining diversity as no one being the same but everyone being at the table, and inclusion as making sure that everyone at the table feels valued, was one of the best analogies I have heard for D&I in #diversevoices. Thank you @EM_Winkfield for providing these insights. @Culpwrit
After watching the @pattitrocks video for #diversevoices, my biggest takeaway is the importance of looking in the mirror and conducting an honest assessment of where one stands with DEI. This applies not just to companies but also to individuals.
@Culpwrit
Be a participant, not an observer. Regardless of who you are, you are in the room because you belong there. So utilize it and have the confidence to bring your diverse opinion to the conversation. This was my main takeaway from @CoffingBridget in #DiverseVoices. @Culpwrit
We each have a story to tell, and it's up to us to live that story and help others learn from it. This is why sharing experiences is vital; it allows people to learn from every person they meet. This was my main takeaway from the Bill Imada video in #diversevoice@Culpwrit.
Andy Checo's advice on tailoring DE&I so that the decision-makers care is important to remember as communicators. When communicating in a language the leaders understand, they can better grasp how DE&I impacts what is important to them. #diversevoices@Culpwrit
"The R in PR stands for relationship," a point that @RayDay always emphasizes when speaking to PRSSA students. Quotes like Cheryl’s make me realize just how crucial building those relationships is. Every day is a potential job interview, so showing up as your best self is key.
“Someone is always watching how you show up, how you treat others, how you deliver on your promises, how you strategize, how you perform under pressure.” This quote by Cheryl Procter-Rogers has stuck with me all weekend as I worked through my #diversevoices work.
@Culpwrit
After watching Michael Lynch speak, I can't stop thinking about his quote: “Every hurdle isn't a block.” Instead, hurdles are simply a sign to take a step back and reflect on where you are.

After hearing Shelly Spector (@museumofpr) speak, I realize the importance of making stories accessible. The more diverse stories one hears about the history of an industry, the easier it is to find a relatable role model within that industry."#DiverseVoices@Culpwrit.
