Too often people stay silent about injustice or ot

Too often people stay silent about injustice or other issues they're concerned about, not because they agree with what's happening in front of them, but because visibility blocks are silencing them. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s time to clear those blocks.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What are some blocks that might be holding you up right now?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Being afraid of saying the wrong thing creates visibility blocks. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Feeling self conscious about your appearance or your knowledge creates visibility blocks. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Watering down your message to something that's palatable to everyone (and noticeable by no one) is what happens when you have a visibility block. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As Audre Lorde noted many years ago 'Your silence will not protect you'. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Time to speak up.

Here's how #amplifyawoman works; on the first Frid

Here's how #amplifyawoman works; on the first Friday of the month I invite you to tag us in one of your posts. We then share your post on our IG stories to help spread the word about your business, project, piece of writing, art work, or social enterprise.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We highlight different groups of women each month. This month it’s disabled women. If you’re a disabled woman tag us in a post you’d like amplified. And if you know of a disabled woman whose work would benefit from amplification let us know in the comments below.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Been in a rut lately? We can help. When your bus

Been in a rut lately?

We can help. When your business is stalling you have to try something new.

Here’s what we do with our students at the School of Visibility; we do inner block clearing work AND strategic and tactical work. We don’t send them elsewhere to learn how to be visible online while just attending to their visibility blocks. Nor do we just teach strategy and pretend inner blocks don’t affect the effectiveness of your implementation.

As a result, our students end up building huge momentum and reporting things like this;

‘This has been game changing for me. I’ve started taking action in my work to reach new audiences, where I didn’t feel it was necessary before. I’m also feeling more confident in asserting my opinions in my personal life, like my voice matters more.’ – Christey, Japan  
‘Since doing visibility block clearing work I’ve had an article accepted to Mamamia and they’ve asked to republish one of my blog posts. I’m also going to be on Talking Lifestyle Radio, Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane today AND was invited to be on TODAY EXTRA. Holy Moly.’ – Isiah, Australia

‘My 11.5 year old business is suddenly going in a new direction that is very much more aligned with my strengths and value. Since it is so aligned, promoting it and being more visible in it is coming much more easily to me.’ – Wendy, USA  
‘I’m taking a lot more action, posting on social media, have had more opportunities to be on podcasts and radio shows, and have been seeing more traffic to my business’ - Kara, USA  
‘I’ve started taking massive action in my business!’ – Tomar, USA

We know how to get you out of your rut. All you need to do is say yes.

Ableism, patriarchy, and white supremacy teach tho

Ableism, patriarchy, and white supremacy teach those oppressed by such systems that they're not strong. They teach us to look to the perspective centred by each of those systems - the ably bodied, white, male - and understand that to be the very epitome of strength.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In truth it's the oppressed who are strongest and most resilient.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Oppressed people have to be strong to survive.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Listening to the lies perpetuated about people with disabilities, women, and BIPOC will keep you disconnected from your power.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We fight back first and foremost by searching out and clearing out - within ourselves - the social conditioning we've internalised. The stories we've unconsciously absorbed.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
About ourselves. About others.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We'll be doing a lot of that deep inner work throughout July with our students at the School of Visibility. Apply now to join us using the link in our bio.

Your community is waiting to know if you stand wit

Your community is waiting to know if you stand with them.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Not just your niche, but in regard of their lived experience.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
They want to know that you see them in this space.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That you understand and value and celebrate the differences. That you have an open, democratic platform. One that is ready to raise up their voices.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Visibility is not a journey of safety. It is a journey of courage.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The more you clear your own wounds, the greater your capacity to stand in witness to other people’s experiences and genuinely hold space for that.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That's one of the things we can help you with at the School of Visibility; healing the wounds that are stopping you from fully supporting the women in your own community.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We're taking applications now to start with us next Monday. #linkinbio
