Dear City of Owen Sound,
Your words are Most Powerful - “Break The Bias/Equality & Inclusion”.
I do understand how agencies/promoting departments utilize ‘Stock Pics’ for imagery on their sites.
Equally, I imagine; within the ‘choices’ of images offered, one has many choices to choose-the most reflective image withIn their ‘marketed’ agenda.
Here is a thing: Upon ‘initial’ glance; One ‘SEES’ Beautiful and Young and Thin and White women only!
On its own merit, the picture of these Beautiful & Young & Thin & White Women IS quite beautiful.
It presents a dreamy & hopeful & care-free feeling which is grounded in beauty of flowers and an open blue-sky and warmth of season.
At this point, you (The Reader) may have began pondering where is this white and middle-aged woman wishing to take the point!?
Down to the point: Dear Owen Sound City, You #hash-tagged your message as ‘Being’ #Inclusive & #BreakingtheBias &#Women and offered an invite for “Help” towards breaking down the bias and inclusion and equiity.
Hence rests the issue. Do you not see?
Honorata Jones, Owen Sound
