What Do We Miss When Everyone Looks and Thinks the Same?
This week at I Am Here, we’re asking: What Do We Miss When Everyone Looks and Thinks the Same?
- What does true inclusion look and feel like?
- What everyday actions help build belonging?
- How can we create environments where everyone is seen, heard, and valued?
Inclusion brings colour to our communities. It’s how we expand our perspectives, challenge assumptions, and create environments where everyone belongs—not just on paper, but in practice.
Whether it’s at work, at home, or in our wider communities, true diversity asks us to not only invite others in, but to learn from them.
What Are We Watching This Week?
We are watching Inclusion Makes the World More Vibrant by Uniting.org.
This heart-warming short film follows a little boy helping his blind mother experience an art gallery in a beautifully surprising way.
Created to celebrate the International Day of People with Disability, it reminds us that inclusion isn’t about ticking boxes—it’s about empathy, creativity, and seeing the world through someone else’s eyes.

It’s a hopeful call for action: to move beyond policies and into everyday behaviours that help every Team Member feel safe, respected, and Real.
