Posted @withrepost • @thewintersgroup This is the first day of #Kwanzaa, an annual celebration that many African Americans observe to honor our unique culture. Today is #Umoja, Kiswahil for Unity. Most African cultures adhere to strong unity principles. This proverb is an example: If you want to go quickly go alone. If you want to go far, go together. - Mary-Frances Winters ..... #TheWintersGroup #LeadInclusively #Kwanzaa2022 #KwanzaaPrinciples #KwanzaaCelebration https://www.instagram.com/p/Cmoos3UOkZn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Posted @withrepost • @thewintersgroup Almost everyone gets white privilege wrong. “I’m not privileged! I’m not rich. I’ve struggled to put food on the table. I haven’t had it easy. My parents are working class! I’ve never inherited anything.” Now, if you’re white, you may have thought something similar. I can pretty much guarantee that white privilege is not what you thought it was. White privilege is, by definition, the benefit of being white. So, what does being rich, struggling through life, or not inheriting anything have to do with whiteness? Nothing. For white people, none of those things has anything to do with the color of their skin. Which begs the question, why are so many people getting this wrong? I will answer this by providing 5 facts I wish everyone knew about white privilege. Which fact do you see the most commonly misunderstood? Let us know below and let's continue to learn from each other ⬇⬇ .... #TheWintersGroup #LeadInclusively #DiversityAndInclusion #DiversityEquityAndInclusion #DiversityEquityInclusion #InclusionAndDiversity #EquityAndInclusion #DiversityInclusion #InclusionSolution #SocialChange #SocialJustice #Changemakers #SocialJusticeActivist #Changemaker #Activism #Activist #Activists #EndWhiteSupremacy #DismantleWhiteSupremacy #DismantleRacism #DismantleTheSystem #WhitePrivilege #WhitePrivilegeIsReal https://www.instagram.com/p/ClFPTAluxc0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Posted @withregram • @thewintersgroup "The minority tax refers to the additional duties placed on professionals who are part of marginalized groups to achieve DEI goals. Make no mistake ☝️: many are asked to serve on every diversity committee across the organization as the token Native, Black, LGBTQ, Asian or Latinx person. While it is extremely important to center their perspectives in this work, a lack of diversity within an organization means that a few people carry the weight of facilitating change. When DEI work is not directly tied to the position employees were hired for, it most often becomes unpaid labor while also taking a significant amount of time and energy. 👉This all-too-common scenario can lead to feelings of tokenization, quick burnout and decreased productivity in areas directly related to their position and career advancement. 🗣 If we would not expect white men to work for free or take on additional labor without some trade-offs, why then do we expect this of people of color and women?" On The Inclusion Solution, Melissa Faircloth shares her own experience as a Native American with the minority tax and offers a few considerations to be mindful of.
