TO #BREAKTHEBIAS, YOU HAVE TO KNOW YOUR BIAS
In order to challenge unconscious biases we must first confront them. An all-female team that works for Helen James, Managing Director of Crispin, Porter & Bogusky and lead of Creative Equals' Women's Business Leaders Programme, came up with this campaign for #IWD2022. This tracks into one of our bias exercises (just Google CEO: what do you see?). Now imagine a world where genders make no difference. At RISE2022, you'll get one of their #BreakTheBias colouring-in books - a great way to explain bias in all its forms to children. After all, biases are often in play by the age of five.
A MEGA PROUD PARTNER OF THE VALUABLE500
Huge news. Yesterday the Valuable 500 launched the world’s first independently expert reviewed global directory of B2B consultants and service providers specialised in disability inclusion and accessibility – over half of which are female founded or led (that's us, no VC, no funding, just a powerful team). The Directory convenes business disability intelligence and experts from across the globe spanning 6 continents and 19 countries to assist the Valuable 500 collective in advancing disability inclusion. We are INSANELY proud to be on this.
For RISE, we're raising funding for a disabled talent programme (that's where the profits will go), plus you'll get to hear Hannah's message on the equity pay gap for disabled women in sport.
