We live in a world where exclusion often overshadows acceptance. It’s important to foster a sense of belonging. It’s crucial to build a safe community from a deep belief value of diversity and respect. My brand is founded on the principle that everyone deserves to be seen, heard and valued. True connections can only flourish in an environment where individuals feel safe to be themselves and free from any judgment. I prioritize a culture of inclusiveness and acceptance. One way to build a safe community is by promoting diversity. Celebrating unique perspectives and experiences allows for underrepresented communities to thrive. Creating this culture allows for opportunities to be made. I am committed to creating a safe space where anyone is allowed to act or feel. It’s a place that ensures all interactions are respectful and are free of harmful speech. I think it’s important for people to know there voice is heard. There have been many times where I have felt that what I’m feeling is not valid or appreciated. People need a space like this in order to survive. It’s unhealthy to live in an environment where you don’t feel any ounce of freedom. I have learned that setting boundaries and learning who your real friends has allowed me to feel and talk about what I pick and choose. I have experienced being excluded from many events or hangouts. Although it was hard to know that someone didn’t like me, it made me realize who I wanted to surround myself with. It’s difficult but it makes you only stronger. Building a safe community for all is a moral imperative. I am passionate about having a space where everyone is welcome. By embracing diversity, it can create a world where everyone belongs somewhere.
