SUMMARY:Belong: Where Every Employee Matters
DESCRIPTION:UHA Health Insurance\, Hawaii Business Magazine and the Hawaii Employers Council present this webinar on cultivating safe work relationships and encouraging inclusion\, connection\, and equity. With Francis Choe\, External Affairs Director at Hawaii Employers Council\, and Ikaika Regidor\, Senior Programs Director of YMCA of Honolulu\, Nu‘uanu Branch\, will be sharing their personal stories of inclusion\, trust and belonging\, told from an employee point of view. \nAttracting and retaining top talent is critical to the long-term success of any organization.

We’ll hear from both leaders as they responded to their employees’ struggles\, gained their trust and worked to provide a safe\, inclusive environment that embraced diversity and equity. \nThe free webinar will be moderated by Michael Story\, Senior Workplace Wellness Advisor at UHA Health Insurance.

SUMMARY:NQAPIA Family Is Still Family
DESCRIPTION:May is Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month and it’s a great time to revisit the beautiful “Family Is Still Family” multilingual videos produced by the National Queer Asian Pacific Islander Alliance (NQAPIA). \nAccording to NQAPIA: “In the Asian\, South Asian\, Southeast Asian\, and Pacific Islander (API) community\, coming out to family can be difficult. Lesbian\, gay\, bisexual\, transgender\, or queer (LGBTQ) children feel being open about sexual orientation will shame or dishonor their family\, but staying in the closet takes a greater toll\, causing isolation\, depression\, and even suicide. \n“NQAPIA’s ‘Family is Still Family’ is an international\, multifaceted campaign to promote the acceptance of LGBTQ people in API families and to diversify the faces and languages of those who support the LGBTQ community. The campaign offers a powerful message: offer your LGBTQ child a lifeline\, support their coming out\, and keep the family strong and unified.” \nLearn more and watch the videos here.

SUMMARY:An Evening with Sasha Issenberg
DESCRIPTION:Join the Hawai’i LGBT Legacy Foundation for our first in-person event of 2022: a very special evening of selected readings\, talk story and pau hana cocktails with Sasha Issenberg\, best-selling author of “The Engagement”. Register for this free event here. \nSasha Issenberg has written what is arguably the best and most complete story of the fight for marriage equality (which began right here in Hawai’i in 1990 when local activists set in motion a civil rights struggle that would change the world). \nHis richly detailed narrative follows the coast-to-coast conflict through courtrooms and war rooms\, bedrooms and boardrooms\, to shed light on every aspect of a political and legal controversy that divided Americans like no other. Pete Buttigieg says the book “…will inform the efforts of anyone who strives for a more equal country\, and touch the heart of anyone who has seen their rights come up for debate.” O: The Oprah Magazine called it among the very “Best LGBTQ Books of 2021.” \nJoin us at the beautiful Kaimana Beach Hotel and spend an intimate evening with Sasha\, one of the most articulate and knowledgable chroniclers of the LGBTQIA+ communityʻs fight to win marriage equality\, and whose work for The Boston Globe\, Businessweek and the New York Times Magazine\, sets a new standard for compelling reporting and analysis of the the most important issues of the day. \nVisit daShop to purchase your copy of “The Engagement”.
