Another EXCELLENT DAY in the Shark Tank! #RepresentationMatters #LiteracyIsLiberation

Me and yeetheeast had the pleasure of covering the amazing Shirley Le thatannoyingvirgo for our latest estmedia doco! Watch the full episode at the link below! 😊😊😊🙏🙏🙏 https://www.easternstandardtimes.com/episode/docs-shirley-le Le is a Vietnamese-Australian author whose debut novel ‘Funny Ethnics’ is celebrated as a seminal piece of Aussie literature. For the last seven years, the astute writer has been turning heads with her ability to interweave keen insights of growing up in Sydney’s west with fictional prose. Comedy, angst, and a good helping of slice-of-life minutia punctuate her writing. Dig into any of her works, and you’ll laugh, cry, and, most importantly, reflect equally.  We had the joy of hanging with Le and picking her brain about her upbringing, Australia’s relationship with diversity, and what it means to her to have the ability to pick up the pen and express herself. Along the way, we got a small tour of Bankstown, drank a mugwort thingy (which was pretty good, haha), went to a signing, and got to film a special chat with the literal brightest man in Sydney, Benjamin Law. Have a swipe through for some clips from the doco!  I want to thank Shirley Le for taking the time and allowing us so much access to such a fantastic time in her career! Big shout-outs to the good people at sweatshop.ws for making this happen. They are doing amazing things in the space of Aussie writing, and you should check them out. I can’t say enough good things about frequenc.co and their amazing work on this one and of course my twin producer Chris. And lastly, to kinokuniya_sydney betterreadbookshop and of course,mrbenjaminlaw, your cooperation with the piece is greatly appreciated! 💪💪💪 #ShirleyLe #FunnyEthnics #Australia #Writer #Ethnic #Asians #Yagoona #Bankstown #Storytelling #BetterReadThanDead #Vietnamese #Australian #AsianAuthors #RepresentationMatters

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.

representASIAN at the @ctgla gala 🇻🇳🇨🇳 🎭 Reminder that Center Theatre Group is a nonprofit org! I’ve always admired the work they’ve done on and off stage. Growing up a theatre kid in LA, I was so lucky to see free shows at the Ahmanson Theatre with my theatre troupe. I love that they give back to the community to inspire the next gen. I was so honored to attend The Gala with my theatre bestie @keshiasih! We had to dress up to see one of our biggest childhood inspirations @msleasalonga headline the event! We even got to meet @melissamccarthy and witness CTG honor Sir Matthew Bourne, as well as be the first to witness the 24-25 theatre season. It truly was a night to remember ❤️ 🎶 thanks again for letting me be your date Keshia and to CTG for having us! #kelicia #theatre #ctgla #theatrekid #representationmatters

Embraced Body believes this is absolutely necessary! Representation is so important and being reflected in the media matters for disabled people! We want to see more varied representations of different types of disabled people that don't rely on ableist tropes and ideas. Also - big pet peeve - disabled actors should be cast for disabled roles!! Disabled community members and access consultants should also be consulted to ensure accurate representation and portrayals of disabled experience and disabled community! #DanceForAllAbilities #RepresentationMatters #DisabilityJustice #BlackDisability #DisabilityCommunity #DisabilityInclusion #BlackAndDisabled #DisabilityPride #Ableism . . . [Image Description: At the top in white is the ""Embraced Body"" logo in a circle is a heart attached to a curvy rope. Below in white text reads, "Is it necessary for media and entertainment industries to accurately portray diverse experiences of disability? " Below are two white text boxes. On the left reads "YES" in black text and on the right is "NO" in red text. Below in smaller white text reads "@embracedbody1." Image is on a purple background.]

Reflecting on an unforgettable moment from last Sunday! 🎥✨ Screening ‘La Misma Luna’ (Under The Same Moon) at the Harmony Gold Theater for the Mexican American Film & TV Festival was a dream come true. It’s been 17 years since our premiere, and revisiting it with loved ones brought back so many memories. But it also reminded me of the ongoing battle for issues like immigrant rights and authentic representation in Hollywood. Let’s keep pushing for change! 💪🎬 #LaMismaLuna #RepresentationMatters #mexamfilmfestawards @mexamcef

Black queer narratives, especially for Black same-gender-loving men, often get stuck in a one-dimensional story.⁠ ⁠ #BlackQueerAndSeen was born because we deserve to see ourselves in all our complexities! From the luxury of Summer House Martha's Vineyard to the hilarious insights of the Jerrod Carmichael Show (check out my last post!), Black same-gender-loving men are thriving and defining our own space in the world. ✊🏾🏳️‍🌈⁠ ⁠ Big thanks to @preston.mitchum for reminding us that our stories matter!⁠ Check out more unique perspectives on Black queer media from Preston by tapping #PrestonsPoint!⁠ ⁠ #summerhousemv #jerrodcarmichael #blackqueermedia #RepresentationMatters #BlackExcellence

Let's take a moment to appreciate the beauty in discomfort. In those awkward moments, where silence lingers a bit too long or truths are spoken a bit too loudly, lies the potential for growth and transformation. It's the courage to embrace the awkwardness that propels us out of our comfort zones and into the realm of possibility. These moments challenge our assumptions, provoke reflection, and ignite change. So, here's to the brave souls who dare to make things awkward, who refuse to settle for the status quo, and who push us to confront the truths we'd rather avoid. They are the catalysts of progress, the champions of authenticity, and the architects of a brighter tomorrow. Are you ready to get out of your comfort zone and create change? . . . . #LovisaGylletornConsulting #EducateEmpowerEmbrace #DiversityInclusion #EducateToEmpower #InclusiveWorkplace #ResumeBuilding #DiverseLeadership #InclusiveCulture #BusinessDiversity #Definition #DEI #DiversityEquityInclusion #CelebrateDifferences #DiversityandInclusion #EqualityForAll #InclusionMatters #DiverseVoices #EquityNow #UnityInDiversity #Belonging #Intersectionality #RepresentationMatters #EmpowerAll #FairOpportunity

Disability Book Week is about celebrating books written by disabled authors and those featuring disabled main characters. But why does it *really* matter? 🤔 👇🏾 Stories written by or about someone with disabilities provide a window into our world, helping readers understand the challenges, triumphs, and unique experiences of those who live with disabilities. Secondly, it’s a powerful way to promote inclusivity. How? By giving us insight and empathy into lives that may be different than our own 💜 Reading books about disabilities can help break down barriers and stereotypes, understanding that the character of a person is not defined by their disability. So, here’s a challenge for you! Pick up a book featuring a disabled character or written by a disabled author. Share your thoughts and engage with others about it. Let’s start a conversation! 💬 ✨ Remember, your voice can make a difference. Together, we can promote inclusivity and understanding, one book at a time. #DisabilityBookWeek #DisabledAuthors #DeafBlindAuthor #DrDeafBlind #DisabilityVisibility #RepresentationMatters **ID in Comments**

Good afternoon, all! Today is Monday, which means it is #MatriarchMonday! Today we are sharing this powerful quote (said in response to a White lawmaker’s dismissal of Native Peoples and their rights) by Tlingit civil rights activist, Elizabeth Peratrovich (1911-1958). Growing up, Peratrovich would see signs in local businesses that read “no dogs, no natives” often. This inspired her to fight for equal rights as an Indigenous woman in Alaska. Not only did Peratrovich fight for the rights of fellow Alaskan Natives, she helped pave the way for Native Americans across Turtle Island. Let us know who inspires you below! —————————————————————————————— Follow for more Native and geeky content! 🧡🪶✊🏻 —————————————————————————————— #MocsAndComics #Cincinnati #Matriarch #Native #NativeAmerican #Indigenous #FirstNations #NDN #AmericanIndian #TurtleIsland #Education #Representation #RepresentationMatters #Culture #NativeWomen #Powerful #Feminism #Strong #Inspirational #Tlingit #NativeAlaskan #ElizabethPeratrovich #CivilRights

“We know that there are fewer teachers, not just Black teachers, but teachers in general. But we know that growing up Black in America and growing up Black in American schools have, unfortunately, a lot of similarities.“ - @selmekki Schools are supposed to be melting pots of diversity, right? But hold up – where are all the Black male teachers? Because let’s be real, according to a recent federal survey, Black men make up a measly 1.3% of teachers. That’s a diversity deficit, and it needs a solution – ASAP! Black male educators are powerful role models. They break stereotypes, inspire young minds, and bring a unique perspective to the classroom. But something’s keeping them out. So, what’s the deal? Our classrooms deserve to reflect the beautiful diversity of our communities. Let’s get to work and close the Black teacher gap! #BlackHistoryMonth #MoreBlackTeachers #RepresentationMatters #BuildingABetterPipeline #SupportOurEducators #SalarySolutions #blackeducators #blackeducation #BreakingStereotypes #AmplifyBlackVoices #blackmaleeducators #blackteschers

We are nearing the end of Disability Book Week!  It's the simple 🧦 things for this little 🐕 pup that make or break her day. More often than not, it's a great day. Any day with her 🧑🏽‍🦽 owner, chasing a cat or a stolen 🌭 snack is a great day. When she rolls in something 🐾 stinky requiring a 🧼 bath her day takes a turn. From here things get worse but a simple act of love 🥎 from her boy brings her back around.  It's wonderful to see a book with representation of a child with a disability, but even more so to see that the focus is on their joy and not on their disability. The illustrator shares a special connection to this story and to her dog as well. Dogs have a wonderful attitude that we could certainly benefit from developing. They find joy in the smallest of things and never let anything get them down for long. What a great mindset! ❔What book(s) are you enjoying this Disability Book Week?  Best Day Ever!

Susie Baker, born into slavery in 1848, defied Georgia’s strict laws against educating African Americans by attending secret schools taught by black women. She became literate, which was rare and valuable among African Americans at the time. At 14, she gained freedom when her uncle led her to a Union gunboat near Fort Pulaski. During the Civil War, Baker joined the First South Carolina Volunteers, the first black regiment in the US Army. She served as the regiment’s laundress and reading instructor, teaching fellow former slaves to read. After marrying Sergeant Edward King, they moved to Savannah, where she opened a private school for freedmen’s children. Her teaching career ended when her husband died, forcing her to work as a domestic servant. In 1872, Baker moved to Boston and married Russell Taylor in 1879. She spent much of her later life working with the Woman’s Relief Corps, a national organization for female Civil War veterans. Baker Taylor passed away in 1912, leaving behind a memoir of her remarkable life. #BlackHistory #BlackMedicalHistory #HealthEquity #History #Medicine #Health #HBCU #Education #WomenInMedicine #WomensHistory #BlackWomenInMedicine #BlackHerstory #BlackInMedicine #BlackMenInMedicine #BlackWomen #BlackMen #BlackCulture #BlackExcellence #RepresentationMatters #Nurse #BlackNurses

I had a financial advisory and wealth management consultation recently via Zoom and one of the first things they joyfully said when they saw me was “YOU LOOK LIKE ME!” This simple statement underscores a profound truth in the world of financial advisory and wealth management. I’m deeply committed to empowering women and undervalued communities to create legacies and manage their wealth. 🤝🏾 Why is representation important? Because seeing someone who looks like you, understands your background, and has shared similar experiences can make all the difference in feeling confident and secure about your financial decisions. It’s about more than just numbers; it’s about creating a legacy that honors who you are. I deeply believe that everyone deserves to see themselves reflected in their advisors—because it’s not just about building wealth, it’s about building trust and understanding. Let’s create a legacy that reflects all of us. 💼🌍 #TSharpLegacyAndWealthCounsel #RepresentationMatters #WealthManagement #FinancialFreedom #BuildYourLegacy #Empowerment

🌟 Let's talk about social media representation by race ➡️ Listen up, fam! Social media isn't just about likes and follows—it's about shaping perceptions, building connections, and impacting the lives of Youth and Young Adults of Color. But here's the kicker: our study uncovered a major issue. There's a serious lack of diverse representation online, and it's taking a toll on the mental well-being of diverse young individuals. As we come to the end of Celebrate Diversity Month, we're shedding light on this crucial topic. When nearly half of us feel invisible, it's time to speak up! Seeing people who look like us and share our experiences is crucial, yet it's missing from the platforms we scroll through every day. That's a problem. So here's the deal: Let's push for change! Platforms need to listen to us, hear our stories, and include diverse voices from marginalized backgrounds. It's all about making social media a place where everyone feels seen and valued. ❤️💜💛 Join the movement! Share this post, spread the word, and let's be part of the solution together! #RepresentationMatters #YouthVoice #ChangeTheNarrative . . .

‘Nura and the Immortal Palace’ by @maeedakhan: 4/5 ⭐️ Just beautiful both in storyline and the physical book itself. The world building was incredible, I could picture each location in vivid colour in my head. I felt like I was following alongside Nura on her adventure. The book is set in modern day Pakistan and draws on Muslim cultures and traditions that the author has in her own life. As a side note having greater diversity in the stories that are told is so important so props to this book for that. This is a story of family, friendship, a strong female lead, fantasy and realising what truly makes you happy. But as the author explains in her note at the end this story has a purpose other than just entertaining. It draws attention to the real life child labourers as mica is a substance mined across several countries. One way for children to escape work and get a better future is through education, also emphasised in the plot. I wonder if possibly it was a little deep for a children’s book or perhaps they would just read it as an adventure book? But overall a magic and meaningful read. (As a side note can we all appreciate my Pride and Prejudice bookmark). #representationmatters #diversifyyourbookshelf #diversityinbooks #middlegradebooks #bookreview #bookstagram

Book Link In Bio: "Every summer, Mama takes her two daughters to the library to pick out books. Not just any books—books about Black people. In the 1960s, such stories were not taught in schools. If there were any books at all, they were often shelved in a separate part of the library. But that didn’t stop two sisters from making a beeline to that very spot and gathering up the library’s limit: ten books each. Back at home, the three retreat to their favorite reading spots, and the older sister is soon running to freedom alongside Harriet Tubman; reading poetry with Paul Lawrence Dunbar; listening to Martin Luther King say, “I have a dream.” In these books, the older sister sees the struggles, the strength, the love, the hope, and the happiness of people who look like her and never gave up on their dreams. She sees herself."

KBIS 2024 Recap Part 7: Fabuwood One of my favorite booths to visit at KBIS is always Fabuwood. They always seem to have something exciting and unique. As a lover of anything mini, they never disappoint with their miniature kitchen displays. This year they took it to the next level with their Miniature 3D Product Showcase.  And just when I thought that it couldn’t get any better, I turned the corner and they had huge oversized Instagram flatlays. My buddy @captainturnup and I were geeking out!

𝑰𝒏𝒕𝒓𝒐𝒅𝒖𝒄𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑾𝒊𝒔𝒉 𝑺𝒂𝒗𝒊𝒐𝒖𝒓! ⭐️💜 We are so excited to offer this incredible character! She is full of adventure, bravery and wonder and we can’t wait to see her at your special occasions bringing all of the star magic! ✨ Speaking of stars, why not make a wish on one and invite her to your Enchanted Event? 💫 I personally ADORE this story - it celebrates 100 years of Disney magic so perfectly with so many interesting, creative and meaningful elements and the songs are incredible! It’s also amazing to see the first biracial female protagonist in a Disney movie, representation matters and we proudly follow that ethos at Enchanted Events 💜 Find out how to make wishes with our saviour here 👇🏽 𝙴𝚗𝚌𝚑𝚊𝚗𝚝𝚎𝚍 𝙴𝚟𝚎𝚗𝚝𝚜 𝙼𝚊𝚗𝚌𝚑𝚎𝚜𝚝𝚎𝚛 ✩ 𝙼𝚊𝚔𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚖𝚊𝚐𝚒𝚌 𝚑𝚊𝚙𝚙𝚎𝚗 ✩ 💌: 𝙚𝙣𝙤𝙡𝙖.𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙙𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨@𝙜𝙢𝙖𝙞𝙡.𝙘𝙤𝙢 📱: 07795909576 💻: 𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙙𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙝𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙧.𝙘𝙤𝙢 . . . . . . . #wish #asha #thiswish #princessparty #kidsentertainment #youreastar #atallcosts #princessparties #manchestermums #manchesterkids #manchesterbusiness #representationmatters #star #wishuponastar #picoftheday #magical

This is so much more than a re-telling of a fairy tale. First up, it’s a work of art. Rich colours, bold patterns and expressive faces draw you in, telling the story and weaving a world. The narrative is dramatic, descriptive and magical. Echoes of the Rapunzel story are there, like the outline left on the shore as the tide rushes in, but with this consideration comes thoughts about freedom, history and the beauty of Afro curls. I first saw The Magic Callaloo @trishcookewriter @sophiebass_illustration @bigpicturebooks in October at a @walkerbooksuk showcase event. I spoke to Trish Cooke who kindly shared some of her process for creating new books and her joy at the illustrations Sophie Bass had created. This is a love letter to her family roots in the West Indies, to her ancestors and to the ingenuity of African women who would plait directions to follow for help into hairstyles. The abundant plant is a callaloo. It grows healthier and stronger the more love and care it receives and gives out wishes to the villagers. My children and I learnt about callaloo from an episode of JoJo and Gran Gran, but for families with Caribbean links this plant will be very familiar. We meet a greedy, selfish man, who takes the plant, a couple who long for a child, a wise old woman and a child called Lou. Her hair grows in abundant shiny coils, out and out. Centering the joy of Black hair here is beautiful. She’s captured by the evil man, but don’t fret, a successful rescue takes place using the magic of her woven locks. I think this would make a brilliant class read-aloud book. One to highlight to teachers if you hear they are doing fairytales - let’s freshen up the approaches taken and put the dusty versions where they belong. Trish’s book So Much! has stood the test of time, and I remember her on children’s TV. I hope this book ends up on many shelves too. ad - pr sample: I was sent a copy of this book to see what I thought about it. I only share books worth your time checking out in the library at a minimum.

"A great man doesn't seek to lead. He's called to it, and he answers." -Leto Atreides It's rainy and overcast outside today, so it seemed like the right time to post this one.

San Francisco Bay Area #AsianAmerican Olympic champ @kristiyamaguchi trailblazes her way to getting her own @barbie doll for #AsianAmericanPacificIslanderHeritageMonth. Born in Hayward, raised in Fremont, the figure skating star was the first Asian American to win an individual ice-skating gold medal at the 1992 Winter Olympics. The doll is a part of Barbie’s Inspiring Women Series by toymaker giant @mattel. Kristi will be joining the likes of incredible women Anna May Wong, Maya Angelou and Rosa Parks. “I think a lot of pride comes along with it,”” Yamaguchi said, “”not just recognizing the Olympic achievement, but also being recognized during AAPI Month and following in the footsteps of some incredible women that I idolize ... It’s hard to see me put in the category with them.” Kristi’s image has made it onto another iconic brand before, Kellog’s Special K cereal box. And during her touring show “Stars on Ice” decades ago, she inspired another doll. However, for the fourth-generation Japanese American, to be honored by a brand like Barbie is on a whole different level. Its progress made since 1992 when she couldn’t secure the same number of endorsements as her peers because she was Asian American. “It looks like me for sure … You know, the eyes and just the shape of the face. And then, of course, the hair, for sure. I mean, it has the bangs that are the ‘90s.” For generations, Asian American children had to settle for toys that did not look like them, reinforcing the stereotype that being Asian American is not good enough, not beautiful enough, not enough for toys, movies, television shows. It is a major win that, to Kristi’s surprise, even impressed her 18- and 20-year-old daughters. “When kids see themselves or see someone who inspires them, then it just opens up their world and their imagination to what’s possible.” Read more: https://www.sfchronicle.com/entertainment/article/kristi-yamaguchi-barbie-doll-19420317.php #RepresentationMatters #WeAreEnough #FightAsianHate #StandwithAsianAmericans #standwithasians Source: @sfchronicle

I am ecstatic to receive another major endorsement today from the @victoryfund !! As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I will always be a champion for equality and fairness for ALL Kentuckians! After this session, there will be ZERO LGBTQ members in the KY House of RepresentativeS, so it’s imperative that we have at least one representative to have a seat at the table!!! #76thkyhousedistrict #victoryfund #lgbtq #fairness #equality #representationmatters #celebratediversity #loveislove #loveoneanother #bekind #teampalumbo #votepalumbo

🎁Reminder: Enter the Proudly Asian x Big Bites Break Boundaries Giveaway NOW! Proudly Asian is a space for those who don’t fit in. The truth is, everyone is confused (no one REALLY fits in when you think about it)! We are a place for Asians, half-Asians, part-Asians, Asians who don’t look like what they are “supposed to be”, Asians who got told they were not Asian enough, those who got told they were too Asian, and also those who got told they are not qualified to claim their Asian upbringing just because they aren’t ethnically Asian despite being born and raised in Asia. This is also a space that challenges harmful stereotypes and biases about Asians around the world, because being Asian means a huge diaspora of languages, experiences, and cultures. With this degree of diversity, Asians, naturally, do not fit in. There’s beauty and power in not fitting in - because that makes you someone who can also adapt and fit in anywhere. Instead of saying “I don’t fit in”, let’s just say “Everyone is different and I am just breaking boundaries in my own unique way”💪🏻 🌟And NOW we would like to hear from you what breaking boundaries means to you! Simply go to the Proudly Asian x Big Bites Break Boundaries giveaway announcement post on @proudly.asian and find out how you can stand a chance to win a signed copy of mental health advocate and author Steph Ng’s new book “Big Bites Break Boundaries” and a set of Proudly Asian goodies💜 🌏Giveaway open worldwide, everyone welcome.
