As schools across the country seek to celebrate Pride Month, the challenge of addressing LGBTQ+ topics in educational settings remains a significant concern for many educators. In the latest episode of “Meaningful: Marketing, Mentoring, Mattering”, we had the privilege of hosting David Harris, a seasoned educator with a remarkable background in promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). His insights into how teachers and schools can effectively engage in discussions about Pride Month are invaluable for anyone in the education sector.

Sharing a deeply personal take on why AAPI Heritage Month matters. For a mid-forty first generation immigrant, it is a journey towards freedom and acceptance. Beyond meaningful representation and professional recognition, it is life and identity in its purest and most basic form. Today, having a voice in marginalized subsets is a privilege. Hopefully, it will be a birth right for all... someday!

In a recent episode of my podcast, I had the pleasure of interviewing Vinda Souza, the Chief Marketing Officer at RefAssured. We dove into her journey as a global citizen, her role in championing diversity, equity, and inclusion, and her personal experiences with discrimination and resilience.
