Diversity Umbrella Celebrates Lesbian Visibility Week Through Leadership Community Connections and Inclusive Collaboration

Programming example

Feels like an age ago… My first full week as CEO of Diversity Umbrella also happened to be during Lesbian Visibility Week - and honestly, I couldn’t have asked for a more inspiring start 🌟 The week reminded me why visibility matters so much. Not just being seen, but creating spaces where people feel they belong, where stories are shared openly, and where genuine connections lead to real change.From incredible conversations and exciting collaborations at The DIVA Awards with DIVA Charitable Trust, to spending time with phenomenal women including Amanda Collier from The Traitors, Dame Kelly Holmes, Christine McGuinness, Nicola Adams, Heather Peace and Lianne Sanderson… and many MANY more…I’ve come away feeling energised, grateful, and even more ambitious for what comes next.The biggest takeaway? Collaboration is everything. The future of inclusion, belonging and workplace culture will only move forward when we work together, support one another, and keep opening doors for the next generation.I feel incredibly lucky to lead this next chapter for Diversity Umbrella, alongside so many passionate people who truly care about making a difference.This is only the beginning - as and I genuinely cannot wait for what’s ahead. 💫Linda Riley Phyll Opoku-Gyimah Jo Atkins-Potts Marie-Helene Tyack Stella Smith Jude Guaitamacchi Sally Jeffrey Adelle Barker Florence Henderson Stephanie Todd Mandy Rico and of course Marshajane Thompson and Kate Osborne MP 🙌🏻 hashtag#LesbianVisibilityWeek hashtag#LVW26 hashtag#Leadership hashtag#DiversityAndInclusion hashtag#Inclusion hashtag#Belonging hashtag#LGBTQIA hashtag#WomenInLeadership hashtag#Networking hashtag#Collaboration hashtag#VisibleLeadership
