Purpose is a word that can often be overstated and overused in our industry, but organizations can have the greatest impact when they are crystal clear about why they exist and who they serve.
At Sesame Workshop we focus on meeting the most pressing needs of children and families, to help children grow smarter, stronger and kinder, in order to build a better world.
It was truly a privilege to join Carla Zakhem-Hassan to talk about how our companies that share common core values like inclusion & belonging keep purpose at the center of everything we do.
Thanks to Nat Ives and The Wall Street Journal for bringing this conversation to life.

🌈Happy Tuesday to all from #LBBEdutainment!🌟
In times of adversity, it is our shared humanity that lights the way forward. Challenges test our resilience and resolve, but they also reveal our capacity for compassion, understanding, and collective action. Pushing through tough times requires more than just perseverance; it demands that we harness the power of unity to create a more positive, equitable, and productive society.✔️
When we come together, we amplify our strengths, share our burdens, and inspire each other to reach new heights. By standing together, we create an environment where everyone can thrive, where diverse voices are heard, and where every individual feels a sense of belonging.
Understanding the role each of us plays in this collective journey is crucial. We all hold the power to influence our communities, to advocate for those who are marginalized, and to push for policies and practices that promote fairness and opportunity. 🟰
Let us embrace our shared responsibility with courage and determination. By uniting in our efforts, we can ensure that our society is one where everyone has the chance to succeed and where humanity guides us through even the most challenging times. Together, we can build a world that reflects the best of us, grounded in the principles of equity, justice, and belonging.

Happy Tuesday to all from #LBBEdutainment!🌟
🗣️Each of us holds the power to shape our world through our daily actions and choices.🗣️
It's easy to overlook the significance of our contributions, but the truth is, every positive decision we make creates a ripple effect that extends far beyond our immediate reach. When we choose kindness, inclusion, and support, we lay the foundation for stronger, more connected communities. This collective effort not only benefits those around us but also fosters a sense of purpose and prosperity within ourselves and our businesses.
🌈Imagine the impact if we all committed to uplifting others, advocating for inclusivity, and supporting those in need. Our individual actions might seem small in isolation, but together, they form a powerful movement toward a more compassionate and equitable world. By embracing our role as agents of change, we can inspire others to do the same, creating a cycle of positivity and growth that benefits everyone.✊🟰
Let's remember that every act of kindness, every effort to include, and every moment of support contributes to a better, brighter future for all. We have the ability to make a difference, and it's up to us to seize that opportunity with both hands. Together, we can build a world where everyone has the chance to thrive, and in doing so, we will find that our own lives and endeavors flourish in ways we never imagined. 🌍✨

🌈💫Society is a complex and multifaceted entity, often characterized by its two distinct sides, each contributing to its overall dynamic. On one side, we find the positive aspects of society, where individuals come together to create a sense of community and support.🧑⚕️🧑🔬
🌈💫This side is characterized by cooperation, compassion, and the pursuit of common goals. In this facet, people engage in acts of kindness, volunteerism, and social responsibility, which promote the well-being of the collective.🧑⚕️🧑🔬
🌈💫Conversely, society also harbors a darker side, marked by conflict, inequality, and injustice. This side highlights the disparities that exist in the world, whether related to wealth, power, or access to resources. Discrimination, prejudice, and social divides can perpetuate these inequities, creating a less harmonious and more tumultuous societal landscape. Often, it's this darker side that compels individuals and groups to advocate for change and social justice, driving progress and striving for a fairer society.🧑⚕️🧑🔬
🌈💫The two sides of society are inextricably linked, with their interaction shaping the world we live in. The positive aspects provide a foundation for unity and progress, while the negative aspects call for awareness and action to rectify the injustices and disparities that persist. Striking a balance between these two sides is an ongoing challenge, but it's essential for societies to evolve and create a better future for all.🧑⚕️🧑🔬

Advocating for Youth-Led Movements: Embracing Substantive Transformations
In our ever-changing world, where deep-rooted challenges persist, we must recognise the immense potential of youth-led movements in driving meaningful transformations. These movements hold the key to addressing core issues and creating lasting, positive change.
Embracing the spirit of youth-led initiatives entails nurturing an environment where our youth are encouraged to challenge established norms and question existing power dynamics. It is essential to acknowledge the value of their unique perspectives and ideas, allowing them an active role in shaping policies and decisions that significantly impact their lives.
Actively listening to the experiences of those who have been historically overlooked or silenced is paramount to understanding the intricacies of the challenges that need addressing. When we amplify the voices of the marginalised, we can build truly inclusive solutions that leave no one behind.
Let's come together and throw our full support behind youth-led movements, which are tirelessly working towards a more equitable and sustainable future. By embracing their boundless energy, passion, and innovative thinking, we can collaboratively break down barriers and build a world that genuinely celebrates diversity and empowers all individuals.
Share this post to show your support for youth-led movements and their pursuit of a brighter tomorrow.
