It angers me how easily organizations claim to be #decolonizing and engaging in #reconciliation when their actions and company culture lead to recolonizing and further trauma in the communities they impact #morningreflection #Genocide

The #inclusiveeconomy that we are striving to create won’t become a reality without taking concrete steps to address the mindsets and values that led to the fundamental inequity, injustice, and violence in our society. Read more at #bthechange https://t.co/Yumjvmoox4 #impact

(1/3) Today, Muslims all over the world have started observing #Ramadan—a month-long holy observance of fasting, prayer, & reflection. During this time, followers of #Islam show more devotion to the teachings of Islam & take part in fasting.

@Startup_Canada @IEF_FIE A8. Less mentoring, more sponsorship, more funding, more setting of expectations and enforcement of the right behaviours and culture. Keeping the dialogue open and set milestones for change. @IEF_FIE #StartupChats

I would switch the conversation towards “how can male-dominated spaces offer more inclusive opportunities for diverse folks”. It’s not only women who benefit, it’s all industries who will benefit from more profits, inclusive product design & opportunities to access new markets 👏🏽

[Yamila Franco @YamilaFr]

@Startup_Canada @IEF_FIE We can start by acknowledging how much value we inherently bring to these male-dominated industries! We 👏🏽bring👏🏽value👏🏽
