A few thoughts on boys, masculinity, 'manning up' & the daily nuance that dictates gender https://t.co/tz1Uy7PsFB

@Hilaryonline Except for you and I of course. We’re obviously perfect. Aside from parenting. And work. And negotiating life generally. But otherwise, totally perfect.

@LizWilkinson9 Ooh. Language please.

@heatherpeace Ah I’m so sorry. Such is the cycle of life but it’s a bloody painful one at times. Sending love x

[Suran Dickson @surandickson]

So proud of my friend @SuzyLevyTRP for writing such an inspiring, accessible & thoughtful book. I’ve read & edited some of it & it’s truly phenomenal. Well worth contributing to the crowd funding!

[Suzy Levy @SuzyLevyTRP]

Most of us are curious about diversity. Some would go so far as to call ourselves allies, but few of us are skilled in inclusion. Instead, we double down on being nice- hoping it will be enough. But will it? Explore this & more in my new book https://t.co/EAo109EMY4 @unbounders

@domesticanimal @ParahiCarmen @NZStuff Brilliant. Loving Stuff this morning.

@Hilaryonline I listen to them when running & must look very strange crying with laughter as stumble about the neighbourhood. Hope the assessment went well x

[Suran Dickson @surandickson]

@Simonablake Ohhh. Those moments knock the wind from you don’t they. I still think I can hear my mums heels coming down the street behind me sometimes.

[Suran Dickson @surandickson]

Underneath the overt racism is banter, stereotyping, taking advantage of white privilege, bias and exclusion. We’re all a bit complicit in this, even if we don’t use guns or shout abuse on the streets. We must diminish the platform that holds racism up.

My thoughts on first steps to supporting women in C19 recovery. Understanding the disproportionate impact on employment downscaling. And undertaking a home audit on who is doing all the domestic labour - including printing home schooling worksheets! https://t.co/Ke2yg48M90

@Charliecondou If you break the lockdown rules here you get locked up. So I’m heading out soon to get locked up. Alone. Result.

[Suran Dickson @surandickson]

@Charliecondou I was. But I’m not now. You used to offer me early parenting advice - pray tell, what should I do now?

[Suran Dickson @surandickson]

@SueAtkins Fab resource. Any plans to have an option for the children of same sex parents?

[Suran Dickson @surandickson]

Fantastic to be working with the @AgResearchNEWS executive team on building an inclusive culture. Deep, curious conversations around exclusion, mental health & what leadership really means.

[Suran Dickson @surandickson]

Great to see DRM going from strength to strength - proud day!

[Diversity Role Models @DiversityRM]

Our wonderful founder @surandickson returned to DRM today to see some of the staff as they begin delivering more LGBT+ inclusion workshops than ever before over this new school year!

There's many ways to support our work this term:
