Encouraging tolerance and acceptance with an inclusion program for schools is our mission at Don’t Hide It Flaunt It. Here DHIFI, we dream of a world where the individuality of each young person isn’t just recognized but actively celebrated. Our mission is to give children and adolescents the confidence they need to accept their unique characteristics and stand proudly with confidence. Our efforts are crucial in helping young people develop into compassionate and confident individuals. To achieve this goal, our offerings include a inclusion of programs for schools, universities, communities, and corporate settings.

Social Emotional Learning Program

Central to DHIFI’s mission is the advancement of empathy-based workshop for organizations. We focus on enhancing the youth’s capacity for emotional understanding, establishing positive goals, cultivating empathic interactions, strengthening relationships, and executing decisions. We magnify SEL’s impact at DHIFI by encouraging learners to be proud of their individualism, supported by offerings for education that emphasize growing SEL’s reach, inspiring students to take pride in their individuality, which is reinforced by endeavors that include:

  • Narrative exchange: Students boost their self-confidence and break down social boundaries that typically produce bullying, by recounting the stories of their own lives.
  • Emphasizing the things that make us unique: We teach that differences are assets to be valued, not deficits.

Championing the acceptance of one’s self and the acceptance of others, fostering respect for various backgrounds, and ensuring a feeling of belonging for everybody, no matter their individuality, are key parts of our vision.

Get To Know You Activity Ideas For Kids

At Don’t Hide It Flaunt It, we’ve also created the Project Flaunt Hub, an online interactive platform for SEL activities for kids . Project Flaunt strives to empower students through the celebration of the things that make us unique, promoting self-acceptance, and fostering an inclusive school environment. We believe that when students flaunt their unique experiences and qualities, the result is increased confidence and empathy among peers. This is what this initiative is all about. Various activities and resources designed to integrate into school curricula, emphasizing inclusion and social-emotional learning (SEL) are provided by this program. To create a understanding and nurturing community where every student feels valued and accepted, schools should consider implementing these activities.

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.
