🌟 Breaking Boundaries: Meet Hannah Diviney! 🌟 Hannah Diviney, a true pioneer in the quest for representation, is rewriting the narrative for disabled individuals in media. Growing up, she never saw characters who looked like her on-screen, igniting her passion for change. 📚 Armed with her love for storytelling, Hannah launched a petition to transform Disney animation, advocating for characters with disabilities to take centre stage. With tens of thousands of signatures and support from Hollywood icon Reese Witherspoon, her mission is gaining momentum. 🎶 But that's not all – Hannah's advocacy extends beyond the silver screen. She's successfully persuaded music giants like Beyoncé and Lizzo to remove ableist language from their lyrics, proving that change is possible, one step at a time. 🏰 Now, Hannah sets her sights on Disney, aiming to make the magical world of princesses more inclusive. Despite the challenges, she remains undeterred, fueled by her belief that representation is paramount. 🌍 Join us in celebrating Hannah Diviney's remarkable journey and her commitment to empowering disabled individuals everywhere.

The next board meeting agenda is up for Laramie County School District 1 in Cheyenne, WY. Book policy is not on the agenda at this time.

What a lot of people tend to forget is that there is a difference between being accessible (I.E wheelchair access, disabled toilets, disabled hotel rooms, etc) and being inclusive (welcoming disabled people into the space, ensuring that their needs are met) Just because you are accessible - doesn’t automatically equate to inclusive. Michael is a truly interesting character on this topic, please go give it a listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or watch with full captions on YouTube. ALT TEXT: a green background with a picture of Michael in a winter clothes with a hat and a scarf in his electric wheelchair. Text on the right hand side reads “THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BEING ACCESSIBLE AND BEING INCLUSIVE.

💛 #AANHPIHM throwback: As a (recovering 😜) #Korean #FashionDesigner, I don’t know if I fully understood at the time what an absolute HONOR it was to have my VERY FIRST print press for @rachelparkties in @audreymagazine (a publication covering the #Asian experience, as seen from the perspective of #AsianAmericanWomen) AND #KoreAmMagazine (the oldest and most widely circulated English-language monthly magazine for the #AsianAmerican community). 🇰🇷 👀 I remember scouring NYC with my hubs for a copy of #AudreyMagazine…and jumping for joy when we saw my tie in its very first #magazine publication! 🥰 FOREVER GRATEFUL to Editor @annanymity for not only including my work in these groundbreaking publications, but for also being a true friend after all these years — APPRECIATE YOU, Anna! Sad these important magazines are no longer with us 😔 — what an incredible PRIVILEGE to have been featured in both when they were here. ❤️💙🙏 #MenswearDesigner #RachelParkTies #AAPIHM #APAHM #AsianHeritageMonth #KoreanAmerican #representasian #ItsAnHonorJustToBeAsian #AsianAmericanNativeHawaiianPacificIslanderHeritageMonth #RepresentationMatters

Review: Spirit Warrior:Maiden's Path by @traceyloveauthor 🐾 First, congratulations to you, Tracey Love, on Spirit Warrior: Maiden's Path, the first book in the Spirit Warrior series. It is always an honor to read someone else's work, and even more so when that someone has become a friend. I didn't know what to expect from Maiden's Path other than sapphic and witchy! I was immediately drawn in by the awkward and anxious MC, Susan, from whose POV the story is told. Susan has the most compassion for everyone else, and definitely struggles with her own sense of worth. The mental health representation in this book felt visceral, and some of the emotions and interactions between characters struck me raw. This was not an easy or light read, though it was not without joy. I think Tracey well captured the complexity of humans in evolution, as this really is a book about growth, finding yourself, and generational healing. While I wouldn't call this a romance, much of the story centres around the relationship between Susan and her partner Tamika---and so much of their dynamic had me really reflecting on the kinds of relationships in my own life that I want to give energy too, and those that I cant afford to. For folks who want to delve deep into the gritty realities of flawed humans just doing their best; who feel a connection to nature and or the spiritual world; who are open to witchy ways and the interconnectedness of the universe; and who are asking big questions on their own healing path, please consider this beautiful book! #contemporaryfiction #womenslit #sapphicbookstagram #sapphicfiction #womensliterature #sapphicreads #readersofinstagram #igreaders #witchyreads #generationalhealing #selfcompassion #healingjourney #booksthatmatter #spiritwarrior #booktherapy #bookrecommendations #mentalhealthawareness #lgbtq2sia #representationmatters #witchybooks #sapphicwitch
As surprising as it sounds, many accomplished leaders grapple with imposter syndrome, a psychological pattern where individuals question their achievements and have a persistent fear of being exposed as fraud. It can be particularly acute for leaders from ethnic minority backgrounds and women in the construction sector, who may face unique challenges which can be exacerbated by societal stereotypes and the male-dominated nature of the field. Imposter syndrome can manifest many forms, from feeling inadequate despite evident success to being “found out” as unqualified/unfit....

I've always found it hard to draw with this new point of view I have thanks to @saturday_am opening my eyes to this world outside this box of ignorance I was trapped in.. .... Why was it so hard to see myself in anime or anything I did... why did I think anyone that wasn't Japanese didn't fit in Anime/manga as I subconsciously made (before learning about the true) manga with European influences like the Japanese were doing. One piece, Fairy Tail, Attack on Titan, Seven Deadly sins, My hero academia, Black Clover, Full metal alchemist, Dragon ball, Naruto and so much more... . .

Two rising Latina stars are no longer starring in upcoming Scream VII. (And we are ok with it. Barrera @melissabarreram raised awareness on the Israel-Hamas war and her support for the Free Palestine movement on her social media. It was only after voicing her care and her stance that she was terminated from Spyglass Media Group. The claim by Spyglass was that Barrera’s stance was anti-semitic of which Barrera released a statement on her social media, “First and foremost I condemn Antisemitism and Islamophobia. I condemn hate and prejudice of any kind against any group of people.” A day after, Jenna Ortega @jennaortega resigned from Scream VII. Ortega’s reason was due to scheduling. Both actresses have links to Save The Children campaigns to support children impacted by the violence in Israel and Gaza We can look forward to seeing both Latina actresses in TV and film projects - Barrera has three films coming up including a romcom horror film ‘Your Monster’ and a co-starring role in the biopic The Collaboration, about Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat. Ortega is set to star in season two of Netflix’s Wednesday and in movie, Beetlejuice 2. The strength of a nation lies in the diversity of its voices. OUR LATINA VOICES MATTER. Our unique perspectives and powerful voices enrich our global society. Don’t back down. #boldlatina #representationmatters #diversevoices #latinaempowerment #latinavoices

My 5-year Anniversary with Max was on Saturday! 😘 It can be hard to find photos of us without the kiddos but I managed to find 10! Five years and two kids later, life feels so different than when we were first dating .. but some things never change. It’s the way you are genuinely curious about people and ask them the kind of questions that make them feel so seen. It’s the way you operate with such consistency that brings a sense of peace and stability to our lives. It’s the way you love to play and don’t take yourself too seriously so life remains joyful even when it’s hard. It’s the way you show up for our kids with your big heart and your intentional hands, guiding them and loving them so deeply. It’s the way you show up with me with such dedication, commitment, loyalty, and acceptance. Five years later and it’s still you ... all the you I’ve seen and all the you you’re becoming and all the you I have yet to discover. Here’s to many more years together and maybe another kid 😜 Pics: 1. 1st date night after having Marcus 2. Impromptu photoshoot at a family party (dating days) 3. 4 year anniversary 4.

Often children’s books about bodies or anything medical take quite a cold, remote, factual tone. They can be clinical (which is understandable), but lack warmth and personality. That means younger readers don’t engage beyond a cursory glance. Here’s a new book which definitely doesn’t fall into that trope. The Brilliant Brain: How It Works and How to Look After It @roopafarooki @violawangstudio @walkerbooksuk explores everything wonderful about the role our brains play. Centring personality and individuality, the book also gives information on how each part of the brain leads different senses and organs. I don’t like to put age recommendations on titles and this is a great example as to why; whilst the layout and language could pigeon hole this for younger readers, I think the tone and meaning here will work for those all the way through school. I found this one in my local @kentlibraries and Viola Wang’s illustrations drew me in. I’ve reviewed a couple of her other books which I adore (Rabbit Bright and Hello) so see those on my grid. She’s my favourite fluoro artist! #KidsNonFiction #BrilliantBodies #ChildrensNonFiction #BrainHealthy #EYFSTeacher #LoveYourLibrary #ViolaWang #RoopaFarooki #BodyBooks #EYFSBookshelf #EYFSTeachersOfInstagram #EYFSClassroom #BookTok #KS1Science #KS1Teacher #SchoolLibrarian #SchoolLibrary #Brains #BrainFood #KidsBookstagram #NewChildrensBooks #WalkerBooksUK #RepresentationMatters

The Life Time Chicago Spring Half Marathon and 10K is coming up this Sunday, and @familystylerc and @trailblazincrew are ready to cheer on all the runners! We'll be setting up our cheer zone by 7AM along the east side of the Lakefront Trail after Mile 4 of the 10K route and before Mile 11 of the Half Marathon route (near the Soldier Field Children's Garden). We'll have some snacks and drinks for the cheerers, and photographers and tons of energy for the runners! After you're done racing and cheering, join us at our team finishers' tent (number 72) at the Post-Race Finish Fest at Maggie Daley Park. *Cheerers please note that the race kicks off at 7AM so if you come late, plan to dodge racers on the trail to get to over to our cheer zone. See you all there! #FamilyStyleRC #TrailBlazinCrew #RepresentationMatters
This teen story is about a Thai girl determined to escape her status in life and finds herself on a sea exploration to find a fabled land. Sai pretends to be a girl from a good lineage and has so far got away with being an assistant to a renowned map-maker. When he discovers her gift of accurate copying, he invites her to journey with him on a dangerous journey in search of the mythical Sunderlands. Sai grabs this opportunity, until she discovers that someone who knows her true identity, is also on the ship. I love the Thai representation in this story. European colonialism during the age of sails is well-known, and I enjoyed this twist using Thailand as the dominant nation. After all, it is the only country in South-East Asia that was never colonised. The author has made several nautical terms in the story, which conjures a good picture of the crew sailing in a tallship. What a refreshing read. A bonus for map-lovers; there is a map in the front. 4/5 Opening line: I must have looked like all the other Assistants standing in line for breakfast that morning at the Three Onions Cafe. . . . . . #middlegrade #middlegradereads #middlegradefiction #middlegradecovers #bookstagram #childrenbookstagram #instabooks #bookcovers #middlegradebooks #kidlit mgliterature #mgbooks #mgbookshelf #mglit #bookshelfie #bookstagramcommunity #readersofinstagram #ireadmg #readersofig #kidlitpicks #middlegrademagic #childrensliterature #mgbookstagram #diversebooks #diversereads #diversebooksforkids #diversechildrensbooks #representationmatters
This morning I had the privilege to be the keynote speaker for @constellationenergy’s Asian American Resource Group (partnering with Constellation’s People of Color in IT interest group) and their celebration of AAPI heritage month. I delivered my Stand Your Ground workshop (through @inclusionaf) to 35 people in person plus over 200 online - and I was so heartened to get real-time feedback and hear about the experiences of the participants. Many awkward moments were experienced (those of you who know me will not be surprised) and some profound learnings came out as a result. Heck of a day. Thanks to Julie Xia and the AARG for bringing me into Constellation and enabling this dialogue! #inclusionaf #speaking #diversity #inclusion #belonging #dibs #equity #dei #deib #diversityandinclusion #inclusionanddiversity #representation #representationmatters #ascend #ascendleadership #asian #asianamerican #asianamericans #aapi #panasian #microaggressions #awkward #awkwardness #growth #growthmindset #aarg #erg

Last week I went to @believeinwonder_pub self publishing workshop with my son. One of the things that resonated with me that the author Brian said is that representation in books matters and growing up, we didn't see that very often. Not just in the books storyline/characters but also in who is writing these books. What do they look like? Is their lived experience similar to mine or not? On Sunday, I saw my son sketch out and write his own comic book when he came to ask me how you spell a word. That right there was the moment that I realized, not only am I continuing to break generational cycles, I am also instilling in my son the belief that he can accomplish what his heart desires. It's important for children/teens to see people who look like them or have similar lived experiences doing the things they may dream about. As a child/teen, it can be hard to envision yourself accomplishing something you want to do when you don't see that in the environments you're exposed to. But when you see someone else who does look like you, talks like you, etc., you get a little sense of hope that maybe you can do it too. Last 2 pics are my son's comic book he sketched out and the back side of the bookmark he made me at school for Mother's Day. (Special thank you to @tualatinvalleycreates for being cool with my son tagging along with me because any single parent household knows, it's not always easy coordinating babysitter drop offs when you're trying to accomplish things too). #representationmatters #selfpublishing
