🌎 Do you work in a second language?

πŸ™Š Have you ever started speaking to your colleagues in a completely different language out of the blue? (I must say, realizing the situation just from their perplexed faces is actually quite funny 🀣)

🐹 Have you ever felt the hamster in your head was giving up translating for the day?

Well, if you ticked these boxes, then you know how I feel..

I felt very insecure when I first started speaking/learning English and Spanish only a few years ago.
I did feel very little support, but very high judgement about my language skills.

I mentioned this before, I honestly felt stupid. I wish for none this feeling and I wish I had a more supportive working environment at the beginning of my career.

However, I'm so glad things changed and nowadays we do have a more understanding and inclusive surroundings.

Just remember..

Diversity is having a seat at the table,
Inclusion is having a voice,
and Belonging is having that voice be heard 🧑

Happy Diversity Month everyone ✨
