Ever wondered what it truly means to belong and be authentic at work? Let's unpack this together! In our season finale, we bring back Veronica Rivero, Lauren Glazin, and Britt Andreatta where we uncovered the nuances of the Creating Belonging model and its four different areas. Veronica shared her perspective on how authenticity can change and evolve in the workplace, depending on the environment and people around us.
From there, we turned our attention to the Crown Act, unraveling how it’s dismantling discrimination based on hair texture and hairstyle, and its significance in affirming identity. We pondered over the power of representation and how it allows us to channel our authenticity unapologetically. We even heard a powerful anecdote about reclaiming an identity as a widow, illustrating the importance and complexities of individual identities.
In dissecting the relationship between representation and authenticity, we acknowledged the media's critical role in shaping this dynamic and our perceptions. We discussed societal expectations, the struggles we face in trying to conform to them, and the importance of confronting our own battles to truly discover our desires. Stay tuned as we redefine what authenticity and belonging at the workplace mean and continue this incredible journey of discovery and understanding.

When the pages of "Creating Belonging" came to life during our inaugural podcast season, I uncovered a tapestry of diverse human stories that not only enriched our dialogue but also unexpectedly deepened my own understanding of belonging. Reflect with us as we revisit the high points and transformative conversations with incredible guests who lent their voices to this journey, some of whom will be featured in the upcoming second edition of my book. Their generous sharing of personal experiences has woven a broader narrative that you, too, can be part of—reach out, and your story may just join this expanding collage in print.
As we cue up for the next season, expect a symphony of fresh perspectives with a line-up of dynamic guests, including those from the LGBTQ+ community, who'll share their unique experiences on religion, family, love, and career. It's not just about queer identities; our canvas remains broad, inviting a rich exchange across all backgrounds. Stay tuned for heart-to-heart exchanges with a mix of familiar and new voices, opening doors to new connections and the ongoing evolution of belonging. Embrace the richness of this journey with us, without preconceptions, letting each story and its lessons naturally steer us through another invigorating season.
