A short but impactful trip ✈️ 🇺🇸 : On Monday we attended Outsummit, organised by Outright International and heard from activists around the world who are moving the dial in their contexts. Maria Sjödin reminded us of the strength that sits within our communities. Wonderful to see Elise Colomer-Cheadle (she/her/hers) too. On Tuesday we attended a briefing with Human Rights Campaign and heard from Kelley Robinson, who spoke about the importance of quiet advocacy, and DEI leaders from the business community about their plans for the coming year. In the evening we attended an LGBTQ+ holiday event with our partners at JPMorganChase. I was hugely honoured to meet Jamie Dimon and speak to him about their steadfast commitment to #LGBTQ+ diversity as a firm - a really important moment. Headed back today with full hearts. The years ahead may present challenges but there is extraordinary talent within the #LGBTQ+ community within business, civil society and government. Thanks as always to Marco Greco and to Thornall Hembrow (He/Him) and Brad Baumoel for their support for Open for Business and our work
You are incredible 😊
Looks like it was a fantastic trip!
