As June winds down and July rolls around, the glitter settles, companies remove their rainbow logos, and Pride flags are lowered- only to hibernate until next June. This is a mistake many companies make; they neglect the fact that the LGBTQ community deserves visible celebration and sustained support through all 12 months of the year. While demonstrating your company’s commitment to the LGBTQ community during Pride Month is essential, this solidarity must stick. 

Anti-fat bias is deeply rooted and often openly accepted within our society, and the workplace is no exception. When it comes to employment, research has demonstrated that fat people are perceived as less qualified and less competent, are assumed to have less leadership potential, and are expected to be less successful in the workplace.

It’s here!

It’s February, and as #BlackHistoryMonth trends on our feeds for 29 days this year, people around the country are finding ways to celebrate.

In fact, Black History Month (BHM) has been celebrated in neighborhoods, schools, and churches around the United States since its inception over one hundred years ago.
