Heather Hester talks about building DEI and belonging into a brand's values. She emphasizes that safety and what feels right varies by person, and that explaining how values benefit others fosters real connection.

There's a piece of being— enjoying the process of learning.
We can't assume what is safe for other people. What is safe for you might not necessarily feel safe for me and vice versa.
Brave allows for a total— something totally different. Again, to your earlier point, what's wrong for one person may not be for another. Depends on the space.
Because when you can share not just why a value is important to you, but also how that value is a benefit to other people, you are actually creating more of a human connection because it's no longer just about you. Best advice would be to trust yourself and be brave.
