A Belonging Curriculum

Advancing social emotional learning programs for universities lies at the heart of DHIFI’s mission. This entails instructing younger individuals on emotional intelligence, goal-setting, empathy, relationship-building, and wise decision-making. At DHIFI, we increase SEL’s scope by inspiring students to embrace their special characteristics with programs that highlight individualism.

  • Story sharing: By sharing the experiences they’ve had with others, students achieve confidence and tackle the barriers that often lead to bullying.
  • Accentuating individuality: We enlighten students that their different qualities are advantages rather than inadequacies.

Championing the acceptance of one’s self and the acceptance of others, fostering respect for various backgrounds, and ensuring a sense of belonging for everybody, regardless of their uniqueness, are integral parts of our objective.

Disability Awareness Training For Organizations

DHIFI, created by Meg Zucker, is more than a nonprofit; it’s the realization of a personal journey toward self-acceptance.

Since its early days, DHIFI has grown into a force full of energy, empowering academic entities, families, and individuals to accept and show off the qualities that make them unique, thereby transforming obstacles into possibilities for growing and feeling empowered as an individual. To further our mission, speaking engagements are also given by DHIFI founder Meg Zucker. Discover more by getting in touch with us today.

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

former U.S. Ambassador to Israel

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.
