Zhanna Bolotova in The House I Live In, 1957, dir. Lev Kulidzhanov and Yakov Segel.
I heard that example in a training years ago and it's stuck with me and I thought you might like it too. It's important to assess the different groups and communities we are in - are they diverse, inclusive, both or neither?
A group might look diverse but doesn't actually allow the members to speak up or self-criticise. A group might not be diverse at all but everyone feels a sense of belonging and feel empowered to say what they think. This is all very interesting as I'm getting more involved in various diversity and inclusion initiatives at work.
Sometimes I think these things might not be worth sharing because you might have heard about it at work or school, then I remembered that a lot of you might be self-employed or might be homemakers or carers and you don't get opportunities for such trainings. So I will try to share some of what I've learned here (and on Instagram), but hey let's learn together.
