Embracing Consciousness:
The Power of Being "Woke"
In a world riddled with racism, bigotry, misogyny, and intolerance, the term "woke" has emerged as a beacon of hope, inspiring individuals to confront social injustices head-on. However, this powerful term has not been without its controversies. In this blog post, we'll explore the essence of being "woke" and the necessity of embracing consciousness to combat the negative forces that plague our society.
The Dark Side of "Wokeness"
As with any movement, the "woke" culture has faced its fair share of criticisms. Some argue that it breeds self-righteousness and performative activism. Indeed, the pursuit of virtue signaling and the desire to outdo each other in the Wokeness Olympics can divert attention from the very issues it seeks to address. However, let us not forget that the core of being "woke" lies in awareness and empathy, not in empty gestures or hollow statements.
The Real Enemy: Ignorance and Intolerance
On the other side of the coin lie the true adversaries - ignorance and intolerance. Racism, bigotry, misogyny, and other forms of discrimination thrive when people turn a blind eye to systemic inequalities and perpetuate harmful beliefs and behaviors. Being "woke" represents an awakening, an acknowledgment of these issues, and a determination to challenge the status quo.
Fostering Empathy and Understanding
At the heart of being "woke" lies the cultivation of empathy and understanding. By embracing the experiences of others and actively listening to their stories, we gain invaluable insights into the struggles they face. Only through empathy can we break down the barriers that divide us and build a more united and compassionate society.
Education as a Catalyst for Change
Being "woke" is not about flaunting buzzwords or empty rhetoric; it's about educating ourselves on the intricacies of social issues. Delving deep into the roots of racism, sexism, and discrimination allows us to develop a nuanced understanding of these complex problems. Armed with knowledge, we can challenge misconceptions and advocate for informed solutions.
Turning Awareness into Action
Awareness alone is not enough to dismantle the structures of injustice. To make a real difference, we must translate our consciousness into meaningful action. Support for marginalized communities, participation in grassroots movements, and collaboration with like-minded individuals can lead to tangible progress. Being "woke" demands proactive engagement, not passive indifference.
Uniting for a Common Cause
As the world becomes increasingly polarized, it's crucial to remember that the struggle against discrimination is a collective battle. Rather than letting the term "woke" divide us, let us unite under the banner of compassion and equity. By seeking common ground and acknowledging the humanity in each other, we can bridge the gaps that separate us and work towards a brighter future.
Being "woke" is not a one-size-fits-all label; it represents a journey towards consciousness, empathy, and positive change. While it is essential to address the negative aspects associated with the "woke" culture, we must not lose sight of its fundamental purpose - to challenge racism, bigotry, misogyny, and intolerance. Let us embrace being "woke" as a call to action, to educate ourselves, foster empathy, and unite in the fight for a more equitable and inclusive society. Together, we can build a better world for everyone.

Real Life Horror Stories: Companies that still do THIS, Instead of just hiring people that look like THIS. . . Context: if you’re into makeup, fashion and more then you’ve possibly seen this. Companies photoshopping skin to feign diversity and sell to groups they were to lazy to represent 👻.

CONFESSIONS OF A DARK-SKINNED WOMAN
Beauty Is More Than Skin Deep There she stood, Jadis, amidst a sea of porcelain-skinned models on a glitzy runway backdrop. She was a stunning ebony-skinned woman in a world where beauty standards had often dismissed shades like hers. As camera flashes lit up the venue, she could feel a thousand eyes on her, making her second-guess her place there. But then she remembered what the good book…

Disability Horizons Magazine is closing. DH Shop will continue, it's business as usual.
Martyn Sibley has just posted an article about the closure of DH magazine https://disabilityhorizons.com/2023/03/disability-horizons-set-to-close-after-12-wonderful-years/
DH shop will continue trading. It's business as usual, please be reassured that things will continue. The shop was a joint project with DH and my company Equip-Able Ltd. The shop has been run separately from the magazine, and we are not closing! We intend to move the shop to https://disabilityhealthshop.com/ later this year. This new domain will also host all the articles from the DH magazine and will be an ongoing resource for the disabled community.
It will continue to be a platform for quality suppliers of independence aids and help to launch new entrepreneurs and their designs. I intend to commission articles similar to those on the shop blog currently: reviews, lifestyle information, new products, gift suggestions and themed marketing around disability, new designs that make life easier and assist independent living.We still have a lot of people to reach and sales to make and I hope all my existing and new customers will stay for the ride (and the excellent customer service and new inventions!).

Wyndham Hotels & Resorts celebrates a significant milestone – surpassing 15 hotel openings and securing over 50 signings within its groundbreaking Women Own the Room (WOTR) initiative. Launched just over two years ago, WOTR is a first-of-its-kind program empowering women in the hospitality industry by addressing the unique challenges they face on the path to hotel ownership. Dismantling Obstacles for Women Hotel Owners Despite comprising nearly 60% of the hospitality workforce (source: U.S Bureau of Labor Statistics and Castell Project), women hold a mere 10% of leadership positions in hotel ownership. Recognizing this disparity, Wyndham created WOTR to bridge the gap and foster a more diverse ownership landscape. “For decades, the hotel industry has been complacent in allowing women to remain on the sidelines of ownership," says Galen Barrett, VP of Strategic Franchise Initiatives at Wyndham Hotels & Resorts. "Women Own the Room, and similar programs inspired by it, are finally changing the narrative. Wyndham is proud to lead the way in promoting diversity and inclusion within hotel ownership." A Tailored Approach to Empowering Women Hoteliers WOTR goes beyond simply offering franchise opportunities. It provides a comprehensive support system designed to address the specific needs of women entrepreneurs in the hotel industry. Here's a breakdown of the key features: Financial Solutions: WOTR offers access to tailored financial solutions, assisting women in navigating the complexities of securing funding for hotel ownership. Operational Support: The program provides personalized operational support, including guidance on renovations, marketing strategies, and day-to-day hotel management. Networking and Education: WOTR fosters a supportive community of women hotel owners, fostering valuable connections and offering educational resources to enhance their skills and knowledge. This holistic approach is proving to be highly successful. Let's take Christina Lambert, a WOTR member and film and television producer, as an example. Inspired by her entrepreneurial mother, Lambert ventured into hotel ownership in 2020, acquiring two properties in Loveland, Colorado. However, securing financing for one of the hotels proved challenging. "After facing rejections from multiple lenders, I finally found a partner who believed in my vision," shares Lambert. This breakthrough, coupled with the comprehensive support offered by WOTR, empowered Lambert to move forward. Wyndham's one-on-one renovation assistance and commitment to diverse ownership through WOTR played a pivotal role in her success. Today, both of Lambert's hotels – a Travelodge by Wyndham and a Baymont by Wyndham – are thriving, exceeding industry benchmarks. Revenues for the Travelodge have surged over 29% in the past two years, while the Baymont, acquired and rebranded in 2021, has witnessed a year-over-year growth of more than 26%. Lambert credits Wyndham's accessibility, responsiveness, and willingness to work on an individual basis as key factors in her success. "Through Women Own the Room, Wyndham is actively investing in women and changing the face of the hotel industry," she states. The Wyndham Advantage: Beyond WOTR In addition to WOTR's unique benefits, Wyndham franchisees enjoy the comprehensive advantages offered by the Wyndham network. This includes: World-Class Marketing and Distribution: Leverage Wyndham's extensive marketing and distribution channels to reach a wider audience and drive bookings. Innovative Technology Solutions: Access to best-in-class technology solutions, including next-generation property management systems and revenue management tools, for efficient hotel operations. Loyalty Program Powerhouse: Tap into the vast network of over 106 million members enrolled in Wyndham Rewards, the number one hotel rewards program according to USA Today and U.S. News & World Report. Wyndham Rewards members contribute significantly to hotel occupancy. Nearly half of all U.S. check-ins at Wyndham properties stem from reward program members, who typically spend almost double compared to non-members. Women Own the Room: A Catalyst for Change Since its launch in early 2022, WOTR has facilitated the signing of over 50 hotels, representing over 4,000 rooms, across the U.S. and Canada. Sixteen hotels are already operational, spanning various Wyndham brands like Days Inn, Baymont, Wyndham, and Trademark, across several states. An additional 5 to 10 hotels are projected to open in the next year, further solidifying WOTR's impact. Wyndham's Women Own the Room initiative is a groundbreaking program empowering women to become successful hotel owners. By dismantling barriers, providing tailored support, and fostering a supportive community, WOTR is paving the way for a more inclusive and diverse future within the hospitality industry. FAQs: Q: What is the Women Own the Room initiative? A: Women Own the Room (WOTR) is a program by Wyndham Hotels & Resorts designed to empower women in the hospitality industry by addressing the unique challenges they face on the path to hotel ownership. Q: What kind of support does WOTR offer? A: WOTR offers a comprehensive support system including financial solutions, personalized operational support, and access to a network of women hoteliers for education and mentorship. Q: What are the benefits of being a Wyndham franchisee? A: Beyond the support offered by WOTR, Wyndham franchisees benefit from world-class marketing and distribution channels, access to innovative technology solutions, and the power of Wyndham Rewards, the number one hotel rewards program. Q: How many hotels have opened under the WOTR initiative? A: As of now, 16 hotels have opened under the WOTR initiative, with an additional 5 to 10 expected to open in the next year. Q: How can I learn more about the Women Own the Room program? A: You can visit the Wyndham Hotels & Resorts website or contact their franchise development team for more information on the Women Own the Room program.
