Financial Awareness and Daily Empathy
Amidst a busy schedule, Turma do Jiló brought forth the idea that awareness is a driver for any change. The reflection "This money I spend on anything, I could invest more" transcends the financial realm, extending to how we invest our energy and attention. It's about making a conscious accounting, evaluating where our resources – whether monetary or emotional – are being directed and how we can use them to generate a positive impact, especially in the field of inclusion.
Vulnerability: The Bridge to Human Connection
Empathy, according to Turma do Jiló's perspective, goes beyond simply putting oneself in another's shoes. It requires us to "activate our vulnerability." This means accessing that part of us that feels, that hurts, and that avoids others' judgment. It's an invitation to recognize our own fragility to understand that of others, creating a genuine and profound connection. When we allow ourselves to be vulnerable, we open space for true understanding and for building bridges, instead of walls.
Turma do Jiló in Action: A Productive Setembro Verde
The month of September was marked by various initiatives from Turma do Jiló, which exemplify the application of these principles. Participation in the LIDE Inclusion Seminar, classes for the Finanças na Quebrada project at Instituto Baccarelli, and lectures on neuroscience and prejudice for IOS - Instituto de Oportunidade Social, demonstrate the commitment to addressing diversity from multiple perspectives. These actions aim to empower professionals, make spaces more accessible, and, above all, transform mindsets so that "no one is left behind."
Turma do Jiló continues its mission to build an inclusive ecosystem, where empathy, awareness, and vulnerability are powerful tools. May the reflections from this Setembro Verde inspire each of us to look at others with more acceptance and less judgment, actively contributing to a more equitable and just future for all.
