Hello Maria,

When is the last time you took some time for you? Most likely you're bulldozing through all the things you need to do today but now the motivation is slowing down, and you're kicking yourself for not getting things done faster. You're not alone. In this issue, we have included some great recommendations that will help bring perspective, tips, and calls to action to improving self-awareness.

There are many resources and tools to guide and educate organizations and their teams on the importance of DE&I. Don't forget to register for our virtual, half-day IDEA(s) in Motion Summit on October 19. Check out all of the sessions below.

Did you know, you can access any of our past IDEA trainings? They are located in our webinar archive, under the DE&I section.

We hope that you take advantage of the resources for this month, and if you have a resource that you think would be worthwhile to share, tell us about it!

I had the privilege to attend a showing of this film pre-pandemic. This film resonated with me since I am one of many transplants to the Valley of the Sun and I have seen this state grow so much over the years, but it still has a long way to go. This film's first-person stories are so moving. The film ‘You Racist, Sexist, Bigot’ captures stories of discrimination throughout the United States, allowing the viewer to understand the intolerance that other races, sexes, and members of the LGBTQ+ community suffer. Filmmakers Pita Juarez and Matty Steinkamp call on viewers to get uncomfortable by having the difficult discussions that are presented throughout the film and to answer difficult questions and educate themselves.
