Encouraging tolerance and acceptance with disability acceptance activities for youth groups is what we’re all about at Don’t Hide It Flaunt It.

The work we do helps young people grow into confident and compassionate individuals. We develop initiatives for a variety of institutions, such as schools, higher education centers, local communities and businesses.

Inclusion And Belonging Programs

Central to DHIFI’s mission is the advancement of empathy-based program for students. We concentrate on developing the youth’s capacity for emotional understanding, establishing positive goals, cultivating empathic interactions, building relationships, and executing choices. At DHIFI, we increase the scope of SEL by inspiring students to take pride in their distinctive characteristics with programs that highlight individualism.

  • Sharing narratives: Motivating individuals to tell their stories builds their self-esteem and breaks down the societal constructs that frequently cause bullying.
  • Accentuating individuality: We educate students that their different characteristics are merits rather than inadequacies.

Championing self-acceptance and the acceptance of others, encouraging respect for various backgrounds, and ensuring a feeling of belonging for everybody, no matter their uniqueness, are key parts of our objective.

The program provides various activities and resources designed to integrate into school curricula, emphasizing inclusion and social-emotional learning (SEL).

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.
