Erica Vogel, Author: Advice from Your Trans Aunty, and I recap the latest 5 Things (good vibes in DEI) in just 15 minutes. This week our conversation is about women leading in the NFL, voting rights never going out of style, and, of course, legacy privilege getting the boot.
Here are this week's good vibes:
- Levi's: Voting Rights Never Go Out of Style
- Women Leading NFL—And Winning!
- Bye-Bye, Legacy Privilege!
- BoA Boosts Teller Pay
- Outing Isn’t an Option Anymore
Good Vibes to Go:
There are a number of Jewish holidays coming up – and Rosh Hoshana just wrapped. Learn the dates and some tips for your team in this LinkedIn post by Nate Shalev.
Erica’s tip: Be kind to trans folks; escort them to public bathrooms; talk to them using their correct names and pronouns. Before you ask an invasive question, particularly about bodies, ask yourself if you would be uncomfortable with someone asking you that same question. And if so, don’t ask!
