We're right there with you @tobybriggs!
Understanding (empathy) is the key to unlocking ALL of our problems. This is true personally, culturally and globally. If we just take a little more time to listen & understand each other, then considered an alternate perspective, we will eliminate the vast majority of socio political issues. This sounds simple, but I know it's true.
We are working on several fronts to improve diversity, equity, inclusivity, and accessibility (the building blocks of understanding) by participating in conversations and implementing change through our training platforms, networks, strategic alliances, supporters & friends.
@1687Productions co-founders @NatashaMBell & @monkeyrgb, have helped build an amazing coalition of supporters at @Microsoft (and beyond) including DEIA champions like @MerrieW, @pmc @shanselman, @darrellbooker, and WAY, WAY, more. Sincere thanks for your support 🙏
@SimpleLMS co-founders @NFTcatlady & @ANatalieSantana are actively working with our state partners and stakeholders @MAChildAdvocate, @CaliforniaDSS, @DhhsNevada (and more) to change the narrative to include implicit bias training in all the courses we develop @TrainReporters. This is HUGE, because we are educating millions of people about implicit bias, and this will help advance DEIA. Thank you to our current and future state parters. We are making a difference.
Watch this space...

Today, we pledge to carry on the torch of equality, knowing that the road may be long, but it is one we must walk together. As Medgar Evers once said “When you hate, the only person that suffers is you because most of the people you hate don't know it and the rest don't care.”

Additional thanks to our live auction donors Armand de Brignac, Moncler, Whistlepig Whiskey, Roc Nation, and our digital auction contributors, as well as SCF Alumni speakers Najé James and Rev.
