Hej everyone! My name is Suzanne Dale (she/her) and I’m an ED&I Ambassador at IKEA San Diego. Women empowerment and gender equality, to me, means a fair chance at the same opportunities that are afforded to my male counterparts. I admire my mother, the late Johnnie Mae Wells, who taught me that I can be whomever I want to be at any time of my life, as long as I believe in myself. At IKEA, the co-worker who has empowered me the most is Cortney Baldwin. She has challenged me to be a more persistent leader and to use all that I’ve learned through life experiences, ED&I and IKEA values to help others.
Today is Transgender Day of Visibility, a celebration of the lives of transgender people. We are committed to supporting all of our co-workers, which is why we launched global trans-inclusion guidelines to help managers build trans-inclusive teams and workplaces.
Hej! My name is Elora Prescott (she/her) and I’m a Loyalty Manager at IKEA Bolingbrook. At IKEA, I’m supported by a company that cares about inclusion. In my role, my supervisor empowers me and pushes me to embrace my talents and strengths. She’s an amazing woman who motivates me every day by challenging and supporting me. She embraces who I am and encourages me to be me, flaws and all.

Hej! 👋🏽 My name is Kayla Coleman and I’m a Customer Resolution Manager at IKEA College Park.

As a commitment to our community, we have funded Nu Spiral, an interracial public art collective with an anti-bias, anti-racist lens. The collective was named in honor of Spiral, a collective of Black artists that formed in New York’s West Village during the 1960s. The Nu Spiral artists launched the project formally last August with the theme: “What does liberation for Black, Brown and poor folx look like?” The collective will be bringing three new underpass murals to New Haven this spring.
