Craniofacial Acceptance Month - Part 2 I was part of a DEI team at my office a few years back. We created toolkits for various scenarios regarding Diversity and Inclusion. I chose the topic "Implicit Bias in Storytelling," which centered around people with visible differences, something I have felt a connection with for quite some time. Nothing became of this toolkit, but I have been thinking about it recently. I still feel very strongly about how people with visible differences are represented in storytelling and hope that one day we can improve upon this. This video by from Changing Faces, a UK based organization for people with facial differences, is a campaign for the film industry to stop depicting facial differences in a negative manner. #iamnotyourvillain Let's change it up by giving a Princess some scars, the Hero a birthmark, or the regular, everyday sidekick a syndrome - and not letting these characteristics define the characters. https://lnkd.in/e-kMdvee

hello fam, Welcome to Day 2 of 21 #21dayLinkedInConsistencywithEnoobong Highlight of the day 'Patience, Honesty, and Consistency' Patience builds the foundation for success, teaching us to trust the process and let our dreams unfold naturally. Honesty guides us through life's complexities, shining light on our strengths and weaknesses. Consistency ignites momentum, propelling us toward our goals through small, daily actions. I know of a lady named Chioma, an artist who refused to give up. Despite months of rejection from a prestigious gallery, she persisted, refining her craft and staying true to her vision. Her determination paid off with a solo exhibition, earning critical acclaim and recognition. Chioma's story shows us that patience, honesty, and consistency build trust and reputation,deepen relationships,achieve lasting success and inspire others. Embrace these virtues Trust the journey Stay honest Remember, na who give up,lose o! Let's transform our lives with patience, honesty, and consistency. #motivationaltuesday #consistency #honesty #patience #21dayLinkedInConsistencywithEnoobong

You know, for women aged 35 to 55, who often juggle demanding careers, family, and a flood of other responsibilities, NOOR by Grant Blvd offers something unique: a capsule of thoughtfully designed, sustainably sourced loungewear that provides a sense of emotional calm and personal #wellness. At a time in life when so much is asked of them, we need these women to feel replenished, down to the clothes they wear in their lives away from public gaze. And these tenacious, kind women are #women I know well- I am one. But NOOR’s impact doesn’t stop there. By employing women who have experienced profound marginalization, we’re providing fair-wage, dignified work to individuals who deserve a second chance. Each piece of NOOR loungewear is a testament to the #craftsmanship and resilience of these women, who are given the opportunity to not only work, but to heal in their own right. NOOR by Grant Blvd is more than a #luxury lifestyle brand—it’s a movement to uplift women, ALL women. This is #sustainable #design at its finest. It's luxury redefined.

Learn why and how we celebrate Andrzejki: A Unique Polish Tradition 🇵🇱 Andrzejki (Saint Andrew’s Day) is one of Poland’s most intriguing traditions, celebrated on November 30th, with festivities beginning on the evening of the 29th. Historically, it was a night of magic and fortune-telling, especially for young women seeking clues about their future husbands. Today, Andrzejki is a time for social gatherings, fun games like wax melting, shoe races, and even tossing apple peels to reveal secrets of the future. It’s also a special name day for Andrzej, one of Poland’s most popular names. Dive into the history, rituals, and modern celebrations of Andrzejki by watching this video: https://lnkd.in/dFaipXut Examples: Andrzejki Traditions: Melting Wax Through a Key Hole 🗝️ The most well-known ritual from Andrzejki is the melting of wax through a keyhole. In this tradition, a girl will melt the wax from a candle through the hole of an old-fashioned, skeleton key. The wax will land in a bowl of cold water and the cooled wax will take shape. The wax is then taken and held in the light where it will cast a shadow upon the wall. The shadow is studied to look for signs of the girl’s future husband’s appearance or characteristics. Today this is sometimes still performed as a game for fun, but centuries ago this ritual was taken very seriously. Andrzejki Traditions: Shoe Race 👠 In this activity, all of the girls remove their left shoe and line them up from toe to heel. The shoe in the back of the line then moves to the front of the line and so on. The line of shoes will snake across the room until it reaches the threshold of the door. The girl whose shoe crosses the threshold first will be the first to get married. #PolishCulture #Andrzejki #Traditions
