Fostering acceptance and tolerance with empathy-based workshop for schools is our mission at Don’t Hide It Flaunt It. The vision of DHIFI is a community that doesn’t merely recognize but actively celebrates each child’s individuality. Our mission is to give children and adolescents the confidence they need to embrace their individuality and hold their heads high. The work we do helps young people grow into confident and compassionate individuals. Our offerings include a inclusion of programs for schools, universities, communities, and corporate settings to this end.

Inclusion Programs

Central to DHIFI’s mission is the promotion of inclusion workshops for military families. We focus on developing the youth’s capacity for emotional understanding, establishing positive goals, fostering empathic interactions, strengthening relationships, and making informed choices. At DHIFI, we broaden the scope of SEL by motivating students to embrace their unique characteristics with programs that highlight individualism.

  • Sharing narratives: Motivating individuals to share their stories strengthens their self-esteem and breaks down the societal constructs that frequently result in bullying.
  • Accentuating distinctiveness: We educate students that their different traits are merits rather than inadequacies.

Championing self-acceptance and the acceptance of others, encouraging respect for diverse backgrounds, and ensuring a sense of belonging for everybody, regardless of their uniqueness, are integral parts of our goal.

Sel Activity Ideas For Families

By encouraging students to flaunt their unique qualities and experiences, the initiative seeks to build empathy and confidence among peers. Emphasizing inclusion and social-emotional learning (SEL), the various activities and resources offered in this curriculum are designed for integration into school curricula.

Bullying Prevention Initiatives For Universities

Thinking about DHIFI for a social emotional learning program for students? Our organization, established by Meg Zucker, was created from an individual journey and is focused on promoting self-acceptance. Tapping into their family’s collective experiences with obvious differences, Meg and her husband-who share an unusual genetic condition-have inspired DHIFI to become a community where sharing differences is completely normal. DHIFI began as the seed of an idea and has since blossomed into a thriving community, where educational institutions and families are encouraged to flaunt their differences, transforming potential barriers into opportunities for empowerment. DHIFI founder Meg Zucker also offers speaking engagements to further our mission. Get in touch with us today to discover more.

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.
