We develop initiatives for a variety of institutions, including schools, centers for higher education, local businesses and communities.

Inclusion Activities

Core to the mission at DHIFI is the promotion of empathy-based curriculum for high schools.

We magnify SEL’s impact at DHIFI by urging learners to celebrate their individualism, supported by educational offerings that emphasize expanding SEL’s reach, encouraging students to take pride in their uniqueness, supported by initiatives that include:

  • Sharing narratives: Motivating individuals to tell their stories strengthens their self-esteem and breaks down the societal constructs that regularly cause bullying.
  • Accentuating distinctiveness: We enlighten students that their various features are advantages rather than inadequacies.

Included in our mission, we endorse for self-acceptance and the acceptance of others, foster respect for people from diverse backgrounds, and make sure everyone feels they belong, regardless of their differences.

Testimonials

During our 2019 annual President’s Council of Cornell Women (PCCW) Symposium, Meg gave an impressionable presentation titled “What You Think of Me is None of My Business: Embracing Your Superpower” which embodied our theme of PCCW Celebrates One Cornell: Diversity and Inclusion.” Not only was Meg’s presentation insightful, thoughtful and impactful, but she captivated the audience. Sharing stories about those who go through life with visible and invisible differences made us aware that we all face difficulties and challenges in many ways, but together, through education and awareness, we can be compassionate, loving and caring to everyone, no matter the trials and tribulations ahead.

When the U.S. Embassy in Israel hosted Meg Zucker as a Distinguished American Speaker in 2015, the audiences she spoke and met with were deeply inspired by her personal story, her effective advocacy, and the early success of Don’t Hide It, Flaunt It.  Her appearance made a huge impact with advocates for inclusion and acceptance which still resonates today with those who met her.

Daniel Shapiro

Meg is an energetic and engaging speaker who inspires all who meet her with her life story of growing up with a blatant physical difference and parenting kids who share her difference.   Her message of “the things that make me different make me, me” is heartfelt and impactful and resonates with audiences of all ages and backgrounds.  Meg’s mission of building acceptance, tolerance, and empathy is more important now than ever before.  Everyone who has the pleasure of hearing Meg’s story and her vision will be better for it.
