Happy Holidays from Team Diversify!
Hello folks!
As 2024 comes to a close, we’ve taken time to reflect on an extraordinary year and the intentions we carry forward into 2025. This year has been pivotal for Diversify. We scaled our impactful work and programming across the Nordics, Europe, and beyond, collaborating with over 190 organizations—many of them led by BIPOC and marginalized communities.
Navigating the complexities of running a social justice-focused nonprofit has been a journey filled with both challenges and growth. We’ve learned so much from our partners, collaborators, and the communities we serve. Yet, 2024 has also been a year marked by global strife, with wars, conflicts, and displacement affecting countless lives in Palestine, Ukraine, Syria, Lebanon, Cameroon, Ethiopia, Sudan, Yemen, Myanmar, the DRC, and beyond.
These crises remind us of the fragility of peace and the urgent need to bridge social, economic, political, and ideological divides. At Diversify, we remain resolute in our commitment to being a bridge in these fragmented times.
Over the past months, we’ve refined our organizational strategy, guided by our four core pillars: Health and Wellbeing, Economic Justice, Migration, Society and Integration, and Global Issues and Inequality. As we step into 2025, we are committed to deepening and scaling our work locally, regionally, and globally across these critical areas.
As the holiday season approaches, we hope it brings you opportunities to connect, celebrate, and share meaningful moments with loved ones. While this season may bring joy and connection for some, we also recognize it can be a time of loneliness, reflection, or loss for others.
At Diversify, we honor all experiences and affirm that wherever you find yourself this season, your feelings are valid. For those who can, take a moment to check in on your loved ones—even those who seem happy and composed.
In this season of giving—whether it’s time, energy, or gifts to others—we encourage you to also give back to yourself. The simple yet transformative acts of rest, self-care, and prioritization are not indulgent but essential. We cannot pour from an empty cup.
As you navigate this season, whether you’re celebrating, reflecting, or simply being, know that you are not alone. May this time be everything you need it to be, and as we welcome 2025, may the people, opportunities, and world around you align in your favor.
From all of us at Diversify and HerSpace, happy holidays, and thank you for being part of our community. We look forward to continuing this journey with you in the new year.
With gratitude and best wishes,
Executive Director, Diversify & Founder, HerSpace
