WorkPride - Focus Panels for Communities: Bi-Inclusion

This series of community panels aims to explore the reality of some more misunderstood communities.

Our bi-sexual community is often misunderstood - asking people what being bi-sexual means to them is sure to yield a variety of answers. While some view the term as re-enforcing the gender binary, others apply a broader meaning. This panel aims to explore the reality of living as a bi-sexual and the challenges relating specifically to bi-inclusion.

Some key areas that will be explored are:

- What it means to be bi

- Experiences and challenges faced by our bisexual peers

- What can be done to support bi-inclusion, specifically in the workplace

Camille François-Nienaber

Pride Community Lead | HRIS Analyst
Criteo

Proudly Queer, I want to stand up for everyone to be able to bring their full, great selves into the world. The workplace is a great way to start, since a lot of us spend most of our daytime there. This is why I represent the Pride community within my organisation. To provide visibility that we are indeed here, we are indeed queer, and most of all we are proud to celebrate Love in all its shapes and forms. A topic even closer to my heart is the intersectionality of identities, making sure that EVERYONE is included in the conversation.
