Fellow Humans;
Belonging is the Destination, Change is the Journey
Three years ago we published an open letter titled Nothing Changes if Nothing Changes, outlining our commitment to fighting racial and social injustice. While Follixir has always been committed to creating an equitable world of good, we viewed this initiative as a top priority after gaining a new perspective on the systemic injustices that exist. The realization of these inequities has inspired us to take action and make a positive impact. In 2021, we shared an update on our progress in, Something Changes if Something Changes.
Last year, we spoke about how we had taken an honest look at where we could continue to improve through listening to our colleagues and communities with Commit to Change, Change Will Come. Now, we'd like to present the fourth chapter in our journey, Belonging is the Destination, Change is the Journey. This letter reflects our collective effort in creating a world where every person feels a sense of belonging. It is our hope that this work will help foster a more inclusive and kind world for all.
LEARNINGS, REFLECTIONS AND
LOOKING FORWARD
Follixir has undergone a transformation this year. While remaining committed to prioritizing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, we realized that our framework was missing a crucial piece - Belonging. Our Belonging Strategy is our roadmap to creating equitable and inclusive spaces for our teams and the communities we touch. Our goal: Inclusive communities where all feel accepted, appreciated, and valued for who they are; a world where all humans can live. We hope you’ll keep reading for details on how we plan to achieve our goal.
SAFETY TO BE OUR AUTHENTIC SELVES
Disrupt norms to foster a psychologically safe and inclusive environment where our DECIEM team members can show up as themselves and feel an authentic sense of belonging.
Create a safe, inclusive space where Follixir team members can be themselves and truly belong. We believe in the right for every human to show up unapologetically as themselves, regardless of their background.
