Our goal at Don’t Hide It Flaunt It is to encourage tolerance and acceptance through a inclusion program for corporations. The vision of DHIFI is a society that does not just acknowledge but actively celebrates each child’s unique qualities. Giving adolescents and children the confidence they need to accept their unique characteristics and hold their heads high is our mission at DHIFI. Our efforts are essential in helping young people develop into confident and compassionate individuals. To achieve this goal, our offerings include a inclusion of programs for schools, universities, communities, and corporate settings.

An Inclusion Program Curriculum

Central to DHIFI’s mission is the advancement of SEL activities for students. This includes instructing younger individuals on goal-setting, emotional intelligence, empathy, relationship-building, and prudent decision-making. At DHIFI, we increase the scope of SEL by motivating students to take pride in their unique characteristics with programs that highlight individualism.

  • Narrative exchange: Students bolster their self-confidence and dismantle social barriers that typically result in bullying, by sharing their own life stories.
  • Emphasizing the things that make us unique: We teach that differences are strengths to be valued, not deficits.

As part of our mission, we advocate for self-acceptance and the acceptance of others, cultivate respect for people from diverse backgrounds, and ensure everybody feels they belong, despite their differences.

Self Acceptance Activity Ideas For Families

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