I’m proud to have contributed to this blog, which explores the gaps between global commitments and the realities young people face. 🌍 The #YouthPowerSummit showed the passion of young leaders, but there’s still a gap between commitments and action on priorities like digital rights and mental health. 💡 It’s time for leaders to work with young people as equal partners in building modern, inclusive governance systems.

Sometimes diversity feels like a loaded word, especially for those considered 'diverse'. As if they're a token or an example that progressiveness is happening. Or worse, they're the guinea pigs for a system that's glaringly inaccessible and inequitable and they're the ones 'championing' for the accommodations or access they desperately need. (*we're still there*) I want to challenge us to think, envision, and create an accessible-first culture. We're not a monoculture, that's for Petri dishes. We're the most interconnected humanity has ever been which also means we have more access to knowledge, cultures, and intercultural, intergenerational, and intersectional awareness. Let's celebrate our diversity because it's not going anywhere. Join me on January 5th, especially if you're neurodiverse, neurospicy, disabled, or just feeling like joining the fun for learning more about our minds and creativity. Let's start 2025 - loud, proud, and taking up space. From one sparkly brain to another. https://lu.ma/rd9a783q #HiddenTruthsProject #Accessibility #Neurodiversity #ArtsinHealth #Diversity #MentalHealth #Creativity #IDEA

Hatred at a personal level and geopolitically is a growing concern in the world today, demanding a multifaceted approach. While I am not an expert, I believe we can all contribute to fostering understanding and compassion. A few ideas/suggestions we can embrace, - Educate ourselves better to promote critical thinking, empathy, and cultural awareness, fostering tolerance and reducing prejudice. - Support individuals and organizations that embody compassion and inclusivity, consuming media with constructive narratives to combat toxic inequalities. - Engage with and back social justice movements to drive meaningful change on a broader scale. These steps are not a quick fix but a necessary collective effort towards a positive future we can all embrace and be proud of. #inclusiveness #peaceonearth #togetherness #brotherhood #endtohatred #supportallcultures

Want to create REAL change in your community? Here is a Framework that can help: Stop relying on individual bias training.

In summary, intersectionality provides a critical framework for analyzing how various social identities intersect to shape experiences of oppression, while symbiosis emphasizes collaboration among different groups to combat systemic injustices. Together, they offer a comprehensive approach to understanding and addressing social inequalities by recognizing both the complexities of individual identities and the power of collective action. By integrating these frameworks, activists can develop more inclusive strategies that acknowledge diverse experiences while promoting solidarity in the fight for social justice.
