Diversity & Inclusion Statement 

The team at Stir is wholly committed to diversity, inclusion, anti-racism, and anti-discrimination here, in our work, and in our lives.

Stir is a safe place where everyone is welcome. 

Our goal is to listen, to share people’s stories with honesty and integrity, and to provide a platform for people of all backgrounds and cultures to be represented, seen, and heard.

To Black people, Indigenous people, People of Colour, and members of the LGBTQAI2S+community: we see you, hear you, respect you, stand with you, and support you. We are your allies and fans.

We want Stir to be a place that celebrates your work, your art, your history, your culture, your beliefs, your traditions, your dreams, your spirit—you.

We pledge to check our privilege at every turn and to act with humility. 

We vow to lead by example, to write, work, collaborate, live, and raise our families in a way that is welcoming, sensitive, respectful, and honourable to all.

While it’s our hope and aim to never falter, we vow to be held accountable if we don’t get things right—and if that happens, we want to hear from you. We promise to learn, grow, and do better.

We recognize that systemic racism is real, and we vehemently stand against discrimination of any form.

We can’t undo the past, but we commit to making the world a better place in our own small way every single day.
