Center the margins. Those lonely only voices are the ones that most need to be heard when it comes to creating cultures of belonging. Don’t let them be drowned out by the masses.
Instead of removing the mines, we sometimes teach those who come after us how to navigate the minefield.
Instead of shaking things up, some of us have given things up.
And so the system of bias persists.
- BelongLab CEO @NehaMSampat
Don’t encourage someone to leap if you don’t have the rope to fashion a net or when you don’t have the will to weave it.
Belonging requires making it safe for someone to be authentic and to have their unique identities, gifts, and needs honored.

There’s little point in empowering marginalized individuals to speak up and bring their authentic selves to their work when it is not safe for them to speak up or be authentic.
Racism, covering, and uncomfortable conversations, oh my!!

As studies have shown, they’re also avoiding racism, bias, and microaggressions. If you’re defining “people” to include POC, and specifically Black people (which I really hope you are), you’re missing these important points, @AdamMGrant.
I’m reading The Invisible Kingdom rn. It is a beautifully written account of chronic illness & examines some of the gender, race, and financial resource-based biases in healthcare. I highly recommend, whether you struggle with chronic illness or not. #ChronicMigraineChronicles

To address self doubt and disrupt Imposter Syndrome, senior folx need to share more about their missteps, and junior folx need to share more about their accomplishments.
