Heck Yes, Y’all is committed to:
Saying ‘Heck Yes!’
…as often as humanly possible (with bonus points if it’s preceded by fear!)
Laughter and vulnerability…
as the greatest tools for human connection.
Never taking ourselves too seriously.
Pssht. That’s preposterous.
Sass.
…that’s it. That’s the commitment.
Humor that doesn’t alienate an entire group of humans
…because that’s not humor, but it is incredibly lazy, unoriginal and inept.
A lifelong anti-racist allyship practice
…because allyship is a journey: there is no finish line.
Embracing accountability, education and action when we screw up
…and we will screw up.
Messages that elicit a guffaw, make you think or touch your heart
…via digital content and products.
Making sure that you know that you have inherent value
…as do those of all colors, gender identities (including none at all), sexual orientations, developmental levels, ability levels, body types, religious or philosophical beliefs (including none at all), pro or anti-cilantro folks - all.
There’s no choice in the matter. It’s too late. The value is there and you can’t get rid of it.
Don’t even try. You’ll just embarrass yourself.
