EQUALITY INSIGHTS
Weekly 5 Things editions plus essays and GUIDANCE on inclusive communication
5 Things / Express Yourself
Confession: I trained Chat GPT in my writing style (by uploading samples) and ask it to draft the article summaries you read below. I then revise the summaries, and two people on my team do the edits. Using artificial intelligence (AI) saves me time that I now use to play pickleball. That’s priceless.
5 Things / Gayborhood
Earlier this year, I refreshed my office decor but I was still looking for a piece of art. I finally found it: “Happy Night in the Gayborhood”, a painting by a queer Latine’ artist who lives down the street and live-paints on Instagram.
5 Things / Trojan Horse
For years, I had a front-row seat to witness transformation. I got my first business license in Boston in February 2004 when I started the first wedding planning business in the US to plan legal LGBTQ weddings.
5 Things / Cringe
Today begins Pride month and our team has a bunch of workshops coming up (respond to book one!) In our planning sessions, a common theme is people being afraid of saying the wrong thing, of getting the LGBTQ letters wrong, or out of order. So they say nothing and the great disconnect continues.
5 Things / Meaningful Moments
Many people I know are stressed or grieving. It can be tough to find good vibes when it seems the world is falling apart. This weekend, a long weekend here in the U.S., I hope you prioritize things that bring you joy and peace.
