"As an African American female, wife, mother, and servant leader, I have a passion for human rights and social justice. I seek a just and equitable society based on mutual trust and respect and I continue to be a champion for inclusion. This Juneteenth, I will be celebrating both at work and with friends and family. At Thomson Reuters, we will be taking part in a day of learning and celebration – in addition to offering US employees with a day off in recognition of Juneteenth. On Saturday, I will be joining my neighbors at a community celebration complete with storytelling, music, and soul food." #BeYouAtTR Meet Sharon, Vice President Partnerships & Alliances, Government, Minneapolis #WorkingAtTR
"As a gay, cisgender man, it's interesting to look at PRIDE month and reflect on what it means to me. My sexuality is part of me; it doesn't define who I am, but is certainly a fundamental part. As a journalist for Openly, I am proud to cover the underreported stories from around the world affecting the LGBT+ community." #BeYouAtTR Meet Hugo, LGBT+ Editor, Thomson Reuters Foundation, London #WorkingAtTR

"Born and raised in China, I moved to New York as a first-generation immigrant. I’m proud of my identity and hope that people will learn more about the rich history of Asian countries, and the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) history in the US. Asia is a vibrant region that is reshaping the future of our global economy. We can all do our part by learning and being an ally to the AAPI community. We recently had a CEO listening session with senior leadership where the members of our Asian Affinity Network (AAN) shared powerful personal stories about the rise of anti-Asian violence and the underrepresentation of Asian employees in leadership positions. Our leaders showed their commitment to diversity and inclusion starting with the CEO listening sessions, and reacting with strong support and immediate action. We appreciate the forum to make our voices heard. As Tom Kim, AAN Executive Sponsor wrote: “We belong here and we have a voice." #BeYouAtTR Meet Hannah, Senior Manager, Business Development and Strategy, NY #WorkingAtTR
"What I appreciate about our work culture is the respect and commitment to supporting the mental health and wellbeing of employees. Playing the piano and composing music improves my mental health and allows me to work with vitality. It can be difficult balancing my professional life with being a musician, but my career at Thomson Reuters gives me the work-life flexibility I need to pursue my interests which ultimately improves my overall wellbeing. More than that, I feel supported as the unique individual I am inside and outside of the (virtual) office." #BeYouAtTR Meet Kaoru, Proposition Lead - OneSource Global Trade, Tokyo #WorkingAtTR
"What I like most about our Asian Affinity Network (AAN) is finding shared experiences with colleagues on other teams and feeling like I'm part of a community. As part of the AAN - New York chapter, I’ve been busy planning events for Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month (AAPIHM). I’m especially excited for our panel discussion on May 26 about the role the media has in its coverage in the rise of anti-Asian violence. One of the panelists will be Helen Zia, who is an incredibly inspiring activist and journalist. AAPIHM is a great time to appreciate all the contributions from Asians, learn about the issues that affect Asian Americans, such as microaggressions in the workplace or the rise in hate incidents during the pandemic, and discuss ways to be good allies. While the issues impacting the Asian community can be difficult to talk about, the more we can communicate with each other the more we can grow as people and continue fostering inclusion." #BeYouAtTR Meet Priscilla, Senior Associate Editor, Practical Law, New York #WorkingAtTR
"All too often, as a woman in the field of technology, I’ve been the only woman in a room full of men. As a woman technologist, I’m definitely in the minority. The more senior I get, the more of a minority I’m in, and the more of a problem I realize that this is. Without women getting into careers in technology, we are missing critical voices at the table where decisions are made and problems are solved. I lead the architecture for Order to Cash and Finance, and my team is at the very core of the Change Program that Thomson Reuters is embarking on. We are moving from being a holding to an operating company, and putting the customer experience at the heart of everything we do... We’re recruiting much more than any time I remember, and front of mind is how important it is to have a diverse mindset when implementing new solutions. A career in technology is challenging and exciting, and I want more women to join our team and have the opportunities I've had at Thomson Reuters." #BeYouAtTR Meet Effie, Senior Enterprise Architect #WorkingAtTR
Celebrating achievements, challenging gender inequities, and creating an inclusive world were the three pillars of this year’s International Women’s Day (IWD) #ChooseToChallenge. In honor of IWD last week, we’d like you to meet some of the women of Thomson Reuters we’ve celebrated and the voices we’ve amplified through our #BeYouAtTR social campaign.

"Growing up, I remember hating my skin tone and wanting to be lighter - so much so that I used bleaching creams. I straightened my hair because my afro was looked at as “messy” or “wild.” I permed (the chemical process of straightening) my curly/kinky hair to death in my younger years. Beauty is my passion, and I see representation and ideals promoted in the media and within our communities that are catalysts for colorism and racism impacting our mental health. I could go on about the length of time it took me to remove those negative images of myself, and I want to break through these negative stereotypes. As a member of our Black Employee Network (BEN), I share how we can use mindfulness to be aware of our inner dialogue to rethink societal beauty standards and understand different human experiences. I amplify the voices of marginalized communities while fostering closeness among black and non-black racial groups. Being a part of BEN means I get to have a hand in racial healing within ourselves and each other." Meet Tina, a Technical Support Representative in Toronto.
