By embracing the complexity of identity, #intersectionality paves the way for solutions that actually address the specific needs of ALL marginalized groups.

Intersectional #feminism dismantles the myth of a singular experience of womanhood, recognizing how race, class, and other identities shape oppression. https://t.co/hpJT4C8AGl

@naacpimageaward @NAACP It reminded me of the space and recognition we should work toward in the DEIB space. Building these communities is empowering and refreshing.

Thank you again to everyone there for bringing your energy, your authentic selves, and your contributions!

I had SUCH a fantastic time at the @naacpimageaward—thank you to Jonathan Jordan for the invite! A big tell for me of an event like this is being successful is being able to feel the impact it's having on not just yourself but on those around you, and that was the case here.

@naacpimageaward @NAACP Having a space to exist together is important for any community, and these awards provided a space to do not only that for us Black people, but to cherish each other and give due flowers. They see us when no one else does.

We navigate life as multi-faceted individuals.

No one can be boiled down to any one identity—we exist at the intersection of many that all work together to influence our experiences!

We've seen pushback to #DEI, and there's no singular reason for it. But what's the biggest reason for this pushback?

[Chela Gage @tweetatche]

Only through this core adoption can we ensure long-term success and unlock the true potential of a diverse and #inclusive workforce.

[Chela Gage @tweetatche]

Genuine #leadership commitment and a deep understanding of #DEI are both undeniably crucial, but integrating DEI into the core business strategy is key to transforming initiatives from performative to impactful. https://t.co/89OhXYT5Pk

[Chela Gage @tweetatche]

Leaders play a key role in this, and creating a #CompanyCulture where everyone feels valued and able to contribute their best is a must nowadays. We need to go beyond mere support and move toward empowerment ingrained in the core of the company's culture!

#Belonging has become a popular term, but it really is crucial for fostering #PsychologicalSafety and maximizing talent potential. https://t.co/LiZMXaIoTh

Taking these 3 actions in tandem really does make a world of difference! This does a great job showing just how simple #DEI can be. It's not exclusionary like many often believe—it's a commitment to #empathy and #inclusion for all.

Embracing the three L’s will help create a culture that is open to difference, curious about change, and loving toward others. Here’s why your organization isn’t making DEI progress: https://t.co/T7oDFraCpD

The history makers among us aren't always found in textbooks. They can be found in the workplace, the household, the classroom, or any other number of other places.

What women have made the biggest difference in your life?

[Chela Gage @tweetatche]

Happy #WomensHistoryMonth!

I firmly believe that in times like these, it's equally as important to look at the women who have made history, who are making it, and who will make it in years to come.

[Chela Gage @tweetatche]

By lifting each other up and creating a more #inclusive environment, we can pave the way for shared success and a brighter future for all. Together, it's time to ensure that no one is held back, and women of all backgrounds have the chance to thrive!

[Chela Gage @tweetatche]

Addressing this misunderstanding through transparent #communication and focusing on the benefits of diverse thinking could help bridge the divide and create a future where #DEIB is not about "taking away" but about building a stronger collective.

[Chela Gage @tweetatche]

The backlash against #DEI often appears to be a rejection of #diversity itself, but I believe it really stems from a fundamental misunderstanding of its very purpose: to foster a richness of perspectives. https://t.co/TwXs1HeiRl

[Chela Gage @tweetatche]

#DEIB is desperately needed—different communities still experience barriers at many stages in their career. It creates a more equitable and #inclusive society where diverse voices are heard and empowered. Great piece from @DrJaniceGassam! #Diversity

[Chela Gage @tweetatche]

While the concept of #DEI is often met with resistance and misunderstanding, dismantling ingrained myths about its purpose paves the way for a future where diverse perspectives and experiences are valued and leveraged for collective progress. https://t.co/rcwvQiQSE7
