Throughout May, I'm going to be embarking on a daily journey to spotlight LGBTQIA+ Asian-American and Pacific Islander icons, shedding light on a rich tapestry of history often overlooked. George Hosato Takei, born in Los Angeles, California in 1937 to middle-class Japanese-American parents, is an iconic actor, author, and LGBTQIA+ activist. Beginning his acting career in the late 1950s, Takei navigated through the limited opportunities available to Asian-American actors at the time. Despite a troubling era in Hollywood where roles for Asian characters were often given to Caucasian actors, Takei's breakthrough came in 1965 when he was cast as Hikaru Sulu in the original “Star Trek” series, marking a significant step forward for Asian-American representation on television. Though "Star Trek" was canceled after a brief three-season run, Takei's portrayal of Lieutenant Hikaru Sulu left a lasting impact, reshaping public perceptions of Asian-Americans in the media. Beyond acting, Takei is a prominent LGBTQIA+ activist, using his platform to advocate for equality and acceptance. In 2005, Takei publicly came out as gay, and in 2008, he and his partner, Brad Altman, became the first same-sex couple to marry in West Hollywood. He is a spokesperson for the Human Rights Campaign's "Coming Out Project" and has raised funds for projects supporting LGBTQIA+ individuals, such as the web series "Camp Abercorn." Takei's activism extends beyond LGBTQIA+ rights. His contributions to US-Japanese relations were recognized in 2004 when he was awarded the Order of the Rising Sun by the government of Japan. Join in celebrating George Takei's remarkable career and activism, as he continues to inspire and empower others with his advocacy and leadership. https://lnkd.in/dapxjpHJ #GeorgeTakei #AAPIRepresentation #LGBTQIAAdvocacy #StarTrek #Activism #Trailblazer #RepresentationMatters #DiversityandInclusion #SocialJustice #LGBTQHistory #LGBTQRights #AsianPride #PrideMonth #Community #History #Intersectionality #Empowerment #Awareness #Visibility

One of the big questions that comes up in the work we do is, 'how do you deal with resistance?' "I don’t understand the big deal with all of this diversity stuff. Everyone is treated equally, no one ever gave me anything in my life, I’ve had to work for everything I’ve got. I feel like, if I go for a promotion now, if there is a Black Disabled person there, the job is theirs- no point in even trying. The pendulum has swung too far the other way in my opinion. It’s nonsense." Does this sound familiar to you? Read our blog post on how to deal with resistance in EDI work here: https://buff.ly/44SnWKt What are your top tips for dealing with resistance?

Race Equality Week - There’s a lot of topics to unfold and address, but I wanted to share my personal experience about fighting for race equality. I was 20 years old when I found out that I identified as mixed race, crazy right? From the moment of birth, us girls and women are forced a gender stereotype, however I had that plus a ethnicity stereotype… “You have an African Heritage? But you aren’t dark?” Or “If you’re Italian you should speak it fluently?” - all this and more. I realised that I felt like I didn’t fit into any community. Even on forms, I ticked Mixed, other… and still do. It took a toll on my mental health that I would have privileges over others, but opportunities missed in other cases. Therefore I made a promise to myself that I became aware of colourism, aversive racism and other forms of harmful racism within my personal life and career life. And at the time, it was difficult to navigate these discussions as sometimes it came with a backlash… I was exposed to racism at a work place, and the effect it had on me mentally but realising that I need to challenge these conversations for not only myself, but others. To which they said - “Taia, you’re not going to get anywhere in life if you’re offended over racism” my heart sank as I knew this was what I’m going to be faced with. I knew that I was going to have to speak up about all forms of equality, therefore I’m ready for this challenge. I reached out to social media platforms, attended events, networked with speakers of Equality, Diversity & Inclusion to use my experiences of inequality on how I can make a difference for not only myself but others around me. Therefore a highlight of this process and journey I have to thank is mixedracefaces for giving me the opportunity to heal from within, but have the drive to speak up and address discussions that need to be actioned to create a better life for myself and others that are faced daily with racial inequality. Please see below for my story, with other captivating individuals ❤️ #itseveryonesbusiness #actiondriveschange #raceequality #raceequalityweek #equalityanddiversity

This mostly happened at musical theatre university, racism was never ‘called out’ just constantly gaslighted. I thought I finally found my ‘home’ after moving away at 15 to start a new life, I felt that I was accepted for WHO I was. But
