Your personal story is a powerful way to challenge bias, promote understanding and foster empathy. Here are some strategies for using your story to address and overcome prejudice:

  • Take ownership of your story and embrace it with confidence. Be proud of the things that make you unique and use your story to enlighten and educate
  • Use your story of a platform to raise awareness; share insights into your experiences, culture or perspective to help others gain a better understanding
  • Open up channels for honest and respectful conversation
  • Highlight the positive impact that diversity and inclusion have had on your life and the lives of others you know
  • Focus on the shared human experiences that transcend prejudice and highlight universal themes including love, joy, compassion, resilience and hope
  • Share your personal struggles, challenges and triumphs to create a safe space for others to share their vulnerabilities too
  • Advocate for policies, practices and initiatives that promote diversity, equity and inclusion.
