The James Beard Foundation Awards have long been considered one of the most prestigious awards in the food and hospitality industry, recognizing outstanding restaurants and chefs from across the country.

Ahead of kick-off, both teams took up position together behind a banner with the matchday motto, and the FCB women including Glodis Viggosdottir, Giulia Gwinn and Pernille Harder also wore special warm-up shirts with the 'Red against Racism' slogan.

I take this action to replace you with a qualified Navajo individual, again, of my choosing and who will reflect my management leadership approach.

Hegseth removed two female and two Black officers' names from a one-star promotion list, even though he's really not explicitly allowed to do so.

Andrea Shorter described her life as 'a vigorous expression of the power of diversity at the intersections of race, gender, class, and sexual orientation.' Her work exemplified a unique fusion of grassroots organizing and public service.

"Mr. Buria told Mr. Driscoll that President Trump would not want to stand next to a Black female officer at military events," the Times reported, citing three unnamed officials familiar with the exchange.

Coun. Michael Thompson stated that the motion is a way to prevent the city from becoming a divisive place, aiming to reduce tensions stemming from global issues affecting local communities.

"I mean, all of us look like we come from a different family. But that's something I love about the way we look."

Every year on Remembrance Day, the bishop of London leads a public Christian act of lamentation in the open air, accompanied by hymns, Bible readings, and prayers in the name of Jesus Christ.

However, when Russell Crowe won for A Beautiful Mind in 2002, it was his speech that got edited out. That was because he decided to recite the Patrick Kavanagh poem Sanctity, and it went on and on. When Crowe realised what had happened, he tracked down the show's director at the afterparty, pinned him against a wall, called him a cunt and then allegedly kicked three chairs across the room.

The beats blasted endlessly as designers from across the globe showcased their best looks on models from everywhere imaginable. The lights pulsed like an underground celebration inside Sony Hall, where Runway 7 held its 10th annual showcase during New York Fashion Week. Runway 7 is a Fashion Week production company redefining what accessibility looks like in high fashion. From designers to models to media, the platform integrates cultural diversity with intentional inclusivity, creating an environment where both everyday New Yorkers and industry professionals feel welcome.

The stats speak for themselves. In 2015's 'A List', out of 418 executives, 79 (19 per cent) were women and only eight (2 per cent) were BAME. Shockingly, in the second decade of the 21st century, it is still possible to go to a leading marketing or communications industry event and only see a handful of black or Asian faces in the room.

Ryan Coogler's "Sinners" did something that had never been done before Thursday morning: It was nominated for 16 Oscars. The previous record was held by "Titanic," "All About Eve," and "La La Land," which all notched 14. Yes, there was a new category this year (Casting) and that helped but "Sinners" added an extra nomination over the previous record just to destroy that talking point.

Most organizations still hire for culture fit-even those that loudly champion diversity and inclusion. The phrase sounds benign, even wise: who wouldn't want colleagues who "fit in"? But behind this feel-good notion lies one of the biggest obstacles to innovation and progress in modern workplaces. Culture fit has become a euphemism for cultural cloning: selecting people who already look, think, and behave like the incumbents.

When USA Bobsled and Skeleton unveils its Olympic rosters, the most likely scenario is that either eight or nine women will wind up competing for that federation on the ice at the Milan Cortina Winter Games. Most of those sliders will almost certainly be women of color. By the time the Games open, this could be the most diverse U.S. Olympic winter roster ever assembled.

London ushered in 2026 with a spectacular fireworks and strobe-light display that celebrated togetherness. As Big Ben struck midnight, crowds counted down in unison before erupting into cheers to welcome the New Year. The London Eye took centre stage in the incredible display, organised by the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, with towering fireworks and dramatic strobe effects. More than 12,000 fireworks and over 400 lights were used, making it the largest annual firework display in Europe.

X Screenshot Britain's King Charles III enraged British conservatives and some MAGA adherents with his annual Christmas message, where he pleaded for compassion and reconciliation, and proclaimed that diversity is one of the UK's greatest strengths. Charles spoke from the 500-year-old Lady Chapel within Westminster Abbey in London, saying, he longed for resilience in the face of adversity, peace through forgiveness, simply getting to know our neighbors and, by showing respect to one another, creating new friendships.

We hold in our thoughts the millions of people worldwide who are enduring the devastating impacts of interconnected crises of climate change, war, conflict, and displacement, the many families this Christmas who will sadly experience fear, uncertainty, or profound loss,

This year, as legacy news outlets slashed diversity teams, eliminated community beats, and gutted cultural coverage, they undermined the very asset that determines relevance in today's fragmented media environment: cultural fluency. These cuts were framed as cost-saving measures, but in reality, they stripped away the expertise that allows media institutions to build trust, resonance, and meaningful connection with the audiences they claim to serve.

Hoff has more than 40 years of experience in the real estate industry including roles as a broker, managing broker/owner, and instructor with the Tennessee Real Estate Commission.

ABC radio's chief, Ben Latimer, says there is always more to do on diversity after Chris Bath was replaced with a male presenter on ABC Sydney, leaving the station with an all-male lineup from Breakfast through to Drive in 2026. Bath, who announced her resignation after only one year on Monday, will be replaced by Thomas Oriti in the key Drive slot, which was vacated by the veteran broadcaster Richard Glover after 26 years.

Tieu's work consists of a contract engraved onto four A4-sized mirrors. It harshly criticises KW's board structure, which charges a €5,000 yearly fee from each member. The fee is a key revenue stream for the institute, already under pressure as Berlin cuts arts funding, but also hampers diversity in the management of the city's cultural institutions, in which "legacies of exclusion and economic gatekeeping" persist.

Teen Vogue covered fashion and celebrity, but also took in-depth looks at politics and social justice issues. Their writers have tackled everything from climate change to political pressures on universities, celebrity style to Billie Eilish's recent comments about billionaires. According to a statement posted on X from Conde United, a bargaining unit of the union the NewsGuild of New York, six of its members who worked for Teen Vogue are being laid off.
