Tip of the Month
Make Sure Your Small Business Is Diverse and Inclusive
By taking steps to become more diverse and inclusive, you can help create a more welcoming environment for everyone. This is especially important during Hispanic Heritage Month. Celebrate the richness of Hispanic and Latinx culture by making your small business a truly inclusive space. Ensure that your marketing materials are culturally sensitive and respectful. This includes everything from the images you use to the language you employ.
Experts like Mia Bolton, Vice President of Digital and PR at Mixte Communications, recommend a thoughtful and self-reflective approach to communications strategy by first determining the values you want to celebrate and mapping out a strategy by “de-centering yourself and lifting others up, focusing on education and action, being an ally all year round and remembering that it’s not about being perfect.”
