The work of creating a more equitable planet Earth should never take coffee or lunch breaks for personal or professional convenience.
Be strong, but not rude. Be kind but not weak. Be humble but not shy. Be proud but not arrogant.
When we show up fully to work regardless of our chosen professional spaces, we must do our jobs without watering down the truth. Let us all consider why equity work is never separate from our chosen career paths and how discomfort is often the first step toward real change.
This isn’t about being provocative for the sake of it. it is about being honest, and refusing to make justice more palatable for people who benefit from silence.
Speak up and do the right thing for your brothers and sisters worldwide.
Equity work doesn’t take coffee breaks.
The work of creating a more just and equitable world should never pause for personal comfort or professional convenience.
No matter what field we’re in, when we show up, we must show up fully—bringing the truth with us, not watering it down to make others comfortable.
Equity is not a side project. It is not separate from our careers, our institutions, or our daily choices. Discomfort is often the first sign that real change is happening.
This isn’t about being provocative for attention. It’s about being honest. It’s about refusing to sugarcoat justice for those who have always benefited from silence.
Speak up. Stand firm. Do the right thing for your brothers, sisters, and everyone in between, all over the world.
