Our next Lunch and Learn session is just about sold out! One place left! Who wants it? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ As more organisations create roles with responsibility for inclusion, there has been a lot of commentary on the fact that these roles are being filled by white women. In this session we will explore if this is a problem. Why are some people bothered by this? What are the challenges? Where does it leave people of the global majority who have lead diversity and inclusion work in a range of spaces for many years? How do we take everyone with us on these journeys? Join us for a free online lunch & learn on Friday 3rd November to find out more.

Positivity sparks positivity! One of my favorite stories is about a bad wolf (negative thoughts) and a good wolf (positive thoughts) battling it out in a child's mind. The child asked their grandparent, "Who will win?" The grandparent replies, "The one you feed." Negative news is easily available. You can choose to feed on them, become a critic, a cynic, or all-around depressed. Or you can choose to #lookforthegood that's in front you all along, to be inspired and radiate that contagious energy. One of the most beautiful things about our job in research is we talk to so many types of people. While we hear their hardships, we also hear what's motivating them, the things that keep them going, and their optimism. Our team at Nimbly thought: Why not share the good we hear? Perhaps our posts will be a nudge that helps someone feel, "Maybe things aren't so bad." It might make change the wolf they feed. Well, stay tuned. If you have stories yourself, share them please! #lookforthegood #positivity #inspiration #marketresearch #optimism

I am building the biggest Neurodiversity Community in the world. In public! Quick Updates: 1. rejuven8d.me has recently onboarded a marketing professional. 2. We have already started working on our marketing and branding strategies. 3. We are about to launch our website this week. 4. There are quite a few marketers/content creators/editors about to get interviewed. 5. We are forming our second point of monetization. So far, in theory, but it makes more and more sense as we work on it. Essentially, we may save lots of lives with this project, so I feel like the whole Universe is there to help us. By the way -> You are welcome to become a part of the process. Share your thoughts in the comment section. Let's build together! #diversity #inclusion #equality #rejuven8withme

 I feel like I’ve lost a little bit of that hope that I had been feeling. These are uncertain times that make me feel insecure and uncomfortable about what’s coming next. But part of my job is finding that spark in people - finding the thing that can ignite them - excite them. So, at Nimbly, we’re highlighting the good from our interactions with people.  In a world of unease, we hope these positive stories & insights make you feel better about humanity. To start us off, as Pride Month has just wrapped up, we had the pleasure of working with a major streaming service realigning their LGBTQIA+ offering.  They wanted to figure out how to talk, really talk and relate, not just “rainbow wash” and check a box, but talk to this audience and show it in their brand.  What we found was streaming was a way for this audience, who often felt so isolated in a small town in rural Mississippi, or Alabama, to see themselves represented with characters who were dealing with the same challenges they were.  Streaming was a place they could turn to, tune into, and feel that they didn’t need to hide from who they were. Moreover, it was refreshing to hear they wanted content that reflected a more modern take on their LGBTQIA+ lifestyle - with storylines integrated into larger society as it is in real life, and not solely camp representation of gay culture (although, there still IS a time and a place for RuPaul’s Drag Race!). Streaming this type of content was a way of connecting their experiences with their families and friends - sharing what they were going through and building connections that sometimes words can fail at. And even more, they are gravitating towards brands that can capture this real experience and not just cater to the stereotype. This work tugged at me personally. As someone who struggled with my own identity for so many years impacting my own career, it was such refreshing work/research to see how far this next generation has evolved and what they are demanding and expecting from brands. – ✨Welcome to #LookfortheGood from Nimbly! We highlight the good from our fieldwork. In a world of unease, we hope these positive stories & insights make you feel better about humanity. Have an uplifting bit to share? Comment below 👇

I know what you are thinking… 🤨 “HER?! SHE is partaking at Empowerment Day organized by WiT - Women in Toys, Licensing & Entertainment?” - and I will own it, while being very transparent with you: Historically, I have been vocal about my reservations regarding organizations or missions that include ONLY women, as I believe true diversity and inclusion involve all genders. However, with the shifting dynamics in DEI efforts over the past year, it's clear women need robust support now more than ever—but not only from other women (I just happen to be female:)) but from everyone – whatevers and even purple trolls. This is a critical moment, especially for young women in sports + women from diverse backgrounds (such as the young Jewish female students) who feel that current DEI programs do not fully represent their voices or address their unique challenges. I’ll be hosting a Masterclass, where I look forward to supporting all women and equipping them with the tools to sharpen their storytelling skills, drawing on my experience in Licensing and the Creative industries. This is about fostering empowerment through diversity of thought and inclusivity in every sense. People helping people get ahead. I invite you to join #WIT, Informa Markets Walmart and others in this mission during Licensing Expo on May 24: Let's learn, grow, and succeed together. 🌐 Learn more and register here: https://bit.ly/4aKP3uu #womenintoys #licensing #entertainmentindustry #WiTEmpowermentDay #IndustryExperts #ToyInnovation #ConsumerProducts #Mentorship #LevelUpYourCareer #LicensingExpo2024 #NetworkingSuccess #CreativeCareers

When we celebrate our uniqueness together, we impact change and create a roadmap to sharing our authentic selves. There is an evolutionary purpose for each age group to dream it and do it. That is intergenerational wisdom transference. Making visible the presence of diverse intergenerational collaborations provides examples of hope that we can break the bias.

Minority Representation in Digital Age: Amplifying Underrepresented Voices 🙌 In the ever-evolving landscape of the internet, marginalized voices are finding a newfound platform for expression and advocacy. The digital sphere, alongside social media networks, has emerged as a catalyst for amplifying voices that were once overlooked or silenced. This shift has not only democratized access to information but has also diversified the narratives shaping our digital society. Previously confined to limited channels of oral or interpersonal communication, marginalized communities now leverage a plethora of digital tools to share their stories and advocate for their rights. The #digitalecosystem has empowered these collectives with essential skills, enabling them to contribute to the social and informational tapestry in meaningful ways. Through compelling digital campaigns, underrepresented groups are shedding light on social issues that were once confined to the sidelines. What was once considered niche or irrelevant is now gaining traction and support from a broader audience, thanks to the concerted efforts of these digitally empowered communities. As we navigate this new media landscape, it's imperative to recognize and embrace the diversity of voices shaping our digital discourse. By fostering an inclusive environment that celebrates and amplifies minority perspectives, we can truly harness the transformative power of the digital age. Let's continue to champion diversity, equity, and inclusion in the digital sphere, ensuring that all voices are heard and valued We look forward to working towards your company's objectives together.

Close the dream gap ! Today, I want to speak about an issue close to my heart: closing the dream gap. This gap represents the disparity between what young people dream they can achieve and the reality shaped by societal, economic, and cultural barriers. As we move forward in our professional and personal lives, it's crucial to recognize the importance of creating environments where every individual, regardless of gender, race, or background, feels empowered to pursue their aspirations. Closing the dream gap means actively working to provide equal opportunities in education, mentorship, and career advancement. It means fostering a culture of inclusion where diverse perspectives are not only welcomed but celebrated. It's about supporting initiatives that uplift underrepresented communities and dismantling the biases that hinder progress. Each of us has a role to play—whether it's through mentorship, advocacy, or simply being an ally. Let’s commit to nurturing the potential in every young person we encounter, ensuring they see no limits to what they can achieve. Together, we can build a future where dreams are not constrained by barriers, but fueled by boundless opportunities. Join me in this vital journey of closing the dream gap. Let's make a difference, one dream at a time. #Inclusion #Diversity #DreamGap #Equality #Mentorship
