So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, goodbye!

It's time for me to exit stage left. But let's keep in touch on LinkedIn and continue to connect, enjoy each other's company and discuss the things that matter.

Reflecting on last week's training, a chance to refresh my intercultural toolbox & getting certified on a tool that helps people develop cross-cultural competences. When it comes to learning, upskilling and making new connections it's a big 👍🏾 from me!

Honoured to be nominated with the @ENAREurope Foundation for a DEI award that recognises the social impact of Spark DEI - the community we built and launched to foster connections and dialogue among racialised DEI professionals in Europe.

Here's to the power of community! 🍾🎇

Do you know what a microaggression is? And, if you encountered one, what tools would you use to address it?

Join Delia Mensitieri, Christine Reinders & me in Brussels on Sept 20 to get hands-on with challenging microaggressions and bias!

Thought-provoking op-ed from @christinawunder highlighting how #inclusion is key to ensuring meaningful solutions to the climate crisis.

People from diverse backgrounds must be involved at all levels of decision-making, without exception.

[The Parliament Magazine @Parlimag]

"Involving marginalised and frontline communities at all decision-making tables could be a game-changer for Europe as an innovation hub."

In an opinion piece, sustainability expert @christinawunder argues lack of collaboration is holding Europe back: https://t.co/u7UjP1kQgw

🧡 #Intersectionality @bxlbinder

[Rodica Avornic @avornicrodica]

✨️ Right now | Insightful @bxlbinder & @UKMisBrussels event on "Integrating #intersectionality into Europe's transition to #netzero" 🌍

Many thanks to our fenomenal moderator & panelists @EU_Commission's Sarah Nelen, @KatyWieese, Marcia @Na_sko, Helen Higgs & @tamaramakoni 👏

[Tamara Makoni @tamaramakoni]

Inclusion's not about doing marginalised groups a favour. Removing systemic barriers to access is how you truly get to work with the best talent and suppliers.

Honoured to make this message about #InclusiveProcurement at a roundtable at the EU Parliament this week.

[Tamara Makoni @tamaramakoni]

Looking forward to speaking at the European Parliament tomorrow on how corporates can engage with diverse suppliers, why viewing data through an intersectional lens is critical & how to maximise ROI for DEI-related initiatives. A demain! #inclusion

[Tamara Makoni @tamaramakoni]

@shada_islam Congratulations @shada_islam !

[Tamara Makoni @tamaramakoni]

Recent insights on #DEI in Europe highlights a significant attitude/behaviour gap: people want DEI but inertia is widespread. Here's a video sharing 3 things leaders can do to engage people to make #inclusion a reality.

Thanks @GoodHabitzHQ for the research!

What do DEI programs need to succeed? Should we focus on #equity or #equality? And what can salmon teach us about tackling systemic inequality?

All this, and more, in my convo with @WayneVisser for his #Thriving podcast (links below👇🏾). Thanks for having me, Wayne!
