💖  Inclusivity

We welcome and celebrate people of every race; ethnicity; gender or non-gender; sexuality; mental, physical, intellectual and sensory disability; neurodiversity; body size; or hair length (or lack thereof 👨🏻‍🦲). We aim to continue educating ourselves and each other on ways to intentionally cultivate a space where everyone feels seen, supported, & celebrated.

🤗  Mutual Respect

We are all on the same “level” in WAIM, regardless of experience level, figs status or knowledge, so we don’t want to talk down to each other. We aim to maintain a level of mutual understanding and respect, while also remaining open to feedback and help without defensiveness.

🫂  Vulnerability

We champion being open and real in this community. This isn’t a place for pretending we have it all together. With that, it’s important to also practice receiving someone’s courageous vulnerability with warmth, compassion and understanding.

🫶  Listening & Tactful Feedback

We support each other by offering feedback when asked, but we deliver that feedback in a way that is constructive, tactful, and compassionate. We also commit to really listen to each other for what help and support is being sought, rather than just knee-jerk reacting with our two cents.

📝  Harm Repair Process (form link)

When something has been said or done inside WAIM that has brought harm to you, this is how you can bring that feedback to us so we can make it right and learn going forward. 💕
