Further thoughts inspired by our post about 'Culture' being incorporated into Blackpool's Town Prospectus: The use of arts, culture & heritage as a tool for placemaking and regeneration is well documented and understood. But all too often, it is an afterthought or a nice to have - a mural celebrating a local hero, a parade or event linked to local heritage. These interventions are lovely and give people a temporary sense of civic pride, but do not embed culture and heritage into place management structures. By incorporating local culture & heritage expertise into place management structures, you are also embedding authentic, creative thinking into place values, brand narrative and decision-making practices from the outset - fundamentally changing how your place is experienced. Not just an afterthought. Image and case study: 'These People Are Our Kindship' by Morag Myerscough on behalf of LeftCoast at The Hub at South Shore, Blackpool.

Black women in the workplace — especially in the executive suite — are frequently misunderstood and subject to microaggressions based on biases and assumptions. Studies such as a recent Harvard Business Review report tell us that Black women are more likely to be thought of as “angry” and “aggressive” when they assert themselves at work, a stereotype that has persisted for years. Navigating these hostile workplace cultures can make it difficult to rise through the ranks, even when qualified, and contribute to higher rates of BIPOC women leaving their jobs.    Employment attorney and author Chiquita Hall-Jackson has spent years studying this phenomenon and coaching other women of color in toxic organizations. She’s outspoken about the mistreatment and unfair treatment present in these organizations, and advocates for women fighting back against microaggressions without compromising their authentic selves. Here, she discusses the problem, the options, and how to change our cultures:    #BIPOCExecutives #BlackWomenInBusiness #BlackWomenAtWork #BlackWomenExecutives

Juneteenth is a day to celebrate the freedom of all Americans and to reflect on the progress that has been made, as well as the work that still needs to be done to achieve racial justice. At Colorado CarShare, we are committed to creating a more equitable and just transportation system. We believe that everyone should have access to affordable and reliable transportation, regardless of race, income, or where they live. That's why we offer discounted rates to low-income residents and partner with community organizations to provide transportation to underserved communities. We also encourage our members to use their CarShare vehicles to support Black-owned businesses and community events. On Juneteenth, we invite you to join us in celebrating the freedom of all Americans and to recommit ourselves to working towards a more just and equitable society. #Juneteenth #FreedomDay #RacialJustice #TransportationEquity #protecttheearth #savemoney #colorado #carshare #carshareCO #coloradocarshare #explorecolorado #coloradolifestyle #coloradoliving #carsharing #electriccars #sustainabletransportation #hybrid #environment #sustainability
