Happy Pride Month! 🏳️‍🌈 This month we celebrate our wonderfully diverse lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, queer and asexual community. 🌈

We had a chat with Curtin University PhD graduate and Lecturer at Curtin’s Centre for Human Rights Misty Farquhar OAM to get their views on what this month means to them and how to be a better ally.

A. There’s absolutely still work to be done, but Pride celebrations are moments for us to reflect on all the cool stuff the LGBTIQA+ community has done in the face of adversity. It’s an opportunity for the broader community to celebrate with us, learn more about our histories, and find ways to support us throughout the year.

A. Genuine engagement in a deep process of diversity and inclusion is a must, but signalling safety is a really important part of making a workplace more inclusive for LGBTIQA+ folk. That might include things like putting up rainbow flags/posters, wearing LGBTIQA+ flag and pronoun pins, adding your pronouns to email signatures and acknowledging important LGBTIQA+ dates.

A. Educate yourself! Engage in formal training where you can, but you could also try things like consuming more LGBTIQA+ media, visiting LGBTIQA+ organisational websites and following their social media, and having respectful conversations with LGBTIQA+ people you know (bearing in mind that they have no obligation to educate you). Some of my top picks are the TV series #SortOf on @stanaustralia and the book, #LifeIsntBinary by Meg John-Barker.

An entrepreneur at heart, Curtin Malaysia Interior Design graduate Fatema Majdi’s career journey has been far from linear. 🎓💛

“I knew I wanted to study abroad; my parents had their own ideas about where they wanted me to study, but I was determined to plot my own path. I had a small business designing and selling phone covers which helped fund my travels to Malaysia to study Interior Architecture.”

After graduating from Curtin, Fatema returned to her hometown, Bahrain, to work full-time for a local architectural firm, but this plan was disrupted when she secured a job as a language trainer in India. 

While working in India, she was introduced to her passion, yoga. A few years later, she travelled to Nepal, obtained her yoga license and is now running her own yoga studio, ‘Bohemian Being’, in her hometown, which is focused on inspiring others to be comfortable in their own skin.

Her biggest advice for young graduates worried about not finding their passion is to keep trying new opportunities.

“I was constantly falling out of careers because they didn’t feel ‘me’ anymore; it is very important to understand that is okay. I kept on trying again and again until I found my purpose, which was teaching yoga; you know it’s different when you truly find special happiness in what you do.”

The world is changing, and so is business. 🌎♻️

Whether we like it or not, the world is still on a trajectory of global heating, which will cause a rise of 3°C above pre-industrial levels by the end of the century.

Sadly, just 10,000 out of 400 million businesses currently measure their emissions globally.

Thankfully, Curtin Chemical Engineering graduate and Co-Founder of Unravel Carbon Marc Allen, is arming businesses around the globe with the tools they need to reduce their carbon footprint.

Here are Marc’s top reasons why your business needs to prioritise climate action. 👇

1. “𝐂𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐢𝐭’𝐬 𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥 𝐢𝐭. Nowadays, most people see carbon emissions as a problem and genuinely care about making a difference and reducing these emissions for the wellbeing of the planet.”

2. “𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐚 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐠𝐦 𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐟𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰 𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞. Businesses now need to show they are motivated to create change and are often asked to show their net zero transition plans when going to a bank or an equity investor. That’s become a real driver of change.”

3.	“𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐜𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐞 𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐧 𝐛𝐨𝐭𝐡 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬, so arming your business and networks with the tools to decarbonise is becoming increasingly important.”

As the CEO and Co-Founder of @halodoc, Jonathan was recognised for his trailblazing digital healthcare platform that simplifies healthcare access in Indonesia, where there are only four doctors for every 10,000 people.

Since launching in 2016, Jonathan has grown the Halodoc mobile app into Indonesia’s leading end-to-end health tech ecosystem with over 17 million monthly active users and attracting investors like @thisisbillgates.

The platform brings together more than 20,000 general practitioners and specialists offering consultations to users, as well as partnerships with more than 1200 pharmacies nationwide.

We are so proud of the incredible work you`re doing, Jonathan, to overcome barriers to healthcare! ⚕️

Curtin journalism student and WA country local, Dylan Storer came face-to-face with the effects of climate change late last year. 🌎

Armed with just a mobile phone, Dylan unwittingly found himself providing ground-breaking coverage of the devastating floods, caused by Cyclone Ellie, that ravaged his hometown of Fitzroy early last year.

“Fitzroy Crossing gets floods almost every year, some small and some larger, but the region had never seen anything like the 2023 floods.”

As a casual ABC News reporter amid a hopeless situation, Dylan pushed his emotions aside to shine a vital spotlight on the issues facing locals who had lost everything.

“Disasters like this one destroy so much and affect so many people but it was heart-warming to see the community come together in our darkest time. I feel honoured to have been on the ground to document the resilience of the people of my community.”
