#diversityandinclusion
Hey pals! This week the first book I ever helped illustrate came out in the U.K., & on 18th March we’re having an online book launch for it! LINK IN BIO it’d be great to see you there!
‘Just Like Me’ is written by Louise Gooding @onceuponalouise & illustrated by me, @melissaiwai1 @angelchangart @caterinadellicarri & published by @studiobooks (with the frankly amazing @thegingerbread_lady )& it’s about a series of neurodivergent & disabled people who’ve done amazing things! Here’s my illio of #FridaKahlo made for the book ILYSM thanks for being here for me lately, friends. I appreciate your company & your energy so so much ☔️

Football & particularly international tournaments are about unity & people coming together, including LGBTQ+ people!
To @uefa_official & @euro2020, whilst the rationale you gave for not permitting @dfb_team to light up the Allianz Arena, as they specifically requested it as a protest against Hungary’s treatment of LGBTQ+ people. At the same time this kind of neutrality towards hate is a huge part of the problem as not opposing it allows it to foster. Being LGBTQ+ is not political.
The saying is #footballisforeveryone but a lot of the LGBTQ+ community will be asking ‘is it really?’ with the decision to not put the rainbow flag up in lights. If we want the game to be truly inclusive then these things matter.
All over social media grassroots clubs, bodies, & charities are showing their support for LGBTQ+ inclusion in football - now let’s see some meaningful, top down action.

Meili is advocate for social justice in the making. Last week we attend about diversity design rethinking. I am so fortunate to live in Silicon Valley where I can attend different conversations about diversity and inclusion and how to make an impact in society. #design #techicolor #diversityandinclusion #diversitymatters #diversitydesign #problem #entrepreneur #entrepreneurlife #entrepreneurlifestyle #impact
