A few thoughts about media longevity, life and loss. Thanks for the opportunity Women In Media Australia

Let's make sure our voices are heard…. Take inspiration from Shirley Chisholm, the first Black woman to be elected to the United States Congress. As she once said, "if they don't give you a seat at the table, bring a folding chair." Today, we see an unprecedented number of people making their own space in the conversation about diversity, equity and inclusion - including me and other Black women. For women, Blacks and others who have faced discrimination, it's crucial to remember our worth, not what anyone else thinks it is. Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm knew that securing a seat at the table meant using her voice to facilitate change and impact progress. We can all learn from her bravery and be the change we want to see in the world. Don't wait for an invitation, be determined to make an impact, have some courage. Use the power of your words and be heard - not just during Women’s History Month. We need all hands on deck all year long during these challenging times for our nation. If your voice didn't have power, nobody would be trying to silence it. If our history wasn’t important, nobody would be trying to hide it. So, believe in yourself, know that you belong even if you don’t receive an invitation. Bring up a chair for yourself and make a difference for all. At Ponder Diversity Group, this is what we strive to do every single day. Let's continue to empower each other and make a positive impact together.♥️ #shirleychisholm #womenlead #blackwomenleaders #voices #seatatthetable #makeadifference #womenempoweringwomen #politicalleadership #genderequity #racialequity #diversityequityinclusion #diversity #equity #inclusion
