(rambly) spoilers under the cut but like
ohmygod rwd s5ep4 was so GOOD
the description mentioning a new god was so intriguing but i didnt expect austin pulling on some wild dnd lore and creating a super interesting challenge, it was really cool
the individual scenes showing off everyones personalities and arcs sooooo well and the dice playing in line with the rp, from vhas' impulsive and carefree personality paying off (i liked vhas before but i really like him now) to vr-la engaging w the mental aspect of the maze instead of the physical (and that WILD alternate timeline dream)
kyana's trial sucked so bad for her but it also made so much sense narratively?? the point of the maze was to develop a deeper understanding of the self and commit to a goal or path and kyana doesnt seem to have a solid long term goal for the future; her whole thing is running away but at some point thats not gonna be sustainable and her reluctant choice to run from stability reflected in the dice
dani's future choice is so interesting to me and feels like a very satisfying moment for a final season arc, especially since i was relistening to older episodes and saw how much dani grew in little ways (sophia describing dani as an asshole for bullying egan, still being mean to davion but now having a sense of respect; the self realization at pandemonium and trusting herself to be able to fix anything she puts her mind to; her becoming the captain of her own ship). i think i wouldve given dani a different choice in the moment, but i think sophia chose the right pressing decision for dani
AND THEN THE FIGHT: SHRINK ON THE DINO, NAT 20 WEIRD LITTLE DUDE FAMILIAR, THE REVIVIFY AND BEATDOWN ON THE INTELLECT DEVOURER
my perfect episode, chefs kiss, im so seated for the rest of the season

➺ ELVIS' POV
Shit, shit, shit.
Me and my big damn mouth. This wasn’t supposed to happen – hell, Evelyn Harper should not be standing in front of me right now.
I knew this day would come eventually, though. She was the daughter of Christian Harper, once the nation’s best hunter, and I was… well, me. Christian didn’t like me and never had, so I wasn’t surprised he’d send one of his little minions after me, but I didn’t think he’d stoop that low to send his own daughter.
Especially considering our past together, but then again, Christian Harper wasn’t the saint he portrayed himself to be.
The fucker probably set me up with the murders too.
Sure, I killed people, but not to the extent one might think.
I was a predator, unfortunately for me it was imbedded into my DNA after I was turned into a vampire, but I wasn’t a young fledgling anymore. I learned from my mistakes in the past where I’d go out hunting unsuspecting humans just for the heck of it. Nowadays, I only killed when it was absolutely necessary – whether I, or my people, were in danger for example.
I didn’t murder the girls I’d take into my room in cold blood.
I didn’t even sleep with them most of the time.
I fed and healed them, and then compelled them to forget what they’ve seen and that they’ve been to my room in the first place. I had too many people depending on me, too many eyes on me at all times to be reckless. Leaving mutilated bodies behind in the alley of the International to let them rot by the trash cans? Not my style.
Either it was the job of another vampire in town that wanted to fuck up my reputation, or Christian Harper was behind it.
My gut told me it was the latter.
“H-How… How do you.. How do you know my name?”
I widened my eyes a little as I looked at the brunette in front of me, panic tingling my bones as I saw the look on her face. She was confused, and I could sense she was trying to hide the fact that she was growing nervous. I was the same, and I masked my feelings before she could pinpoint them.
Taking a step back to create space between us, I fought the urge to run a frustrated hand through my hair because they were still covered in Richard’s blood.
A death I’d have to grief and beat myself up for later.
“You should go,” I told her, opting to place my hands on my hips as I avoided eye contact.
I couldn’t just blurt out the truth to her. Not now.
I couldn’t tell her that she was being lied to by the people she loved and that her and I had a past together. It wasn’t something that one would just throw out there, as if it was no big deal.
“No,” Evelyn stood her ground as she pushed herself off the wall and stood straight, her eyes boring into me. “I’m not leaving before you tell me how you who I am.”
She’d always been stubborn. Something I liked about her but sometimes it got on my nerves because it would get her in trouble. Now was one of those cases.
Looking up at her with a serious expression, no more smug grins, I shook my head.
“You’re staying at the hotel I got plenty of connections in. Besides, it ain’t like the VHA is some secret operation vampires don’t know about. Don’t flatter yourself, sweetheart,”
The words came out more harsh than I intended to. But I needed to create distance between us, keep her at bay… at least, for now. It’s been three years since I’ve seen her and talked to her, and I needed to get my head straight. Despite not showing it, I’d been going through inner turmoil the second I saw her in the crowd tonight.
Once upon a time she looked at me with love and admiration in those beautiful chocolate eyes of hers, and now there was nothing but indifference, hatred for the creature I was.
They’d brainwashed her, the way I do to the girls that I feed from.
“I don’t buy that,”
Goddamnit, Evelyn.
“You know something and because of that, you think you’re already one step ahead,” she continued, taking a step closer to me. My jaw clenched as I looked down at her, forcing myself not to look at her lips. “I’d be careful making your next victim if I were you, Elvis, because I’m-“
My eyes lowered to the jewelry around her neck, silver pendant with a small ruby stone resting over her collarbone. “Ask your father where you got that necklace.”
She shut up at my interruption and frowned, her dainty fingers touching her necklace for a second. She slowly looked back up at me and it caused a shiver to run down my spine, but I managed not to show it. “M-My… father?” She whispered.
“If he truly cares about you, he will tell you the truth and it will set you free,” I told her pointedly, my voice dropping to a whisper too. I slowly brought my hand to her necklace, groaning softly at the feeling of the vervain laced jewelry underneath the pad of my index finger as I caressed it. I could hear her breath stammering slightly and as we looked at each other, my fingertip ghosting along her clavicle.
I wanted to grab her and kiss her, make love to her until the sun would rise again and drag us back to reality. But I couldn’t. We couldn’t.
“You need to go,” I told her once more as I pulled my hand back, veins crawling underneath my eyes as my vampiric face threatened to come through my human one. Not because I wanted to sink my teeth into her soft skin, but because it was hard to control myself this close to her, in all senses of the word. “Please leave, Eva,”
I cursed myself at the pet name that was only used by me for her, but a sprinkle of hope sparked at my heart as she looked at me with slightly widened eyes.
Could it be...?
But then she took a step back and turned, walking to the door and that spark of hope was killed as fast as it had grown.
She looked at me once more as she stood in the door opening and I mentally begged her to speak, to say something, but instead we just looked at each other for what both felt like an eternity and a split second. And then she was gone, taking what was left of my undead heart with her.
The Memphis Mafia was used to my raving and ranting whenever the opportunity called for it. They’ve been around me long enough to know what I was like.
I was the one who turned most of them into vampires.
Some willingly, some not.
I now realize how selfish I’d been in the past, but I couldn’t stand to face an eternity all alone. I needed companionship around me and I gave them everything they wanted and needed…
Protection, money, status, luxury things.
It made them stay and now that the person I needed most wasn't by my side anymore, I couldn't stand the thought of my guys not being in my life either.
But I knew they were unhappy with me killing Richard.
The vampire that had fallen into Evelyn’s trap had been with me since the early sixties. I liked the guy and regretted taking his heart, but the guys also knew who Evelyn was and what she meant to me. I would kill for her, no questions asked.
And they didn’t ask any questions. They simply got rid of the body, grieving their friend silently and didn’t mention a word to me.
All but one were afraid to speak to me about the situation.
“Breakfast, boss?”
I looked up as the door to my bedroom in the penthouse opened and Red appeared into view.
It was 4 o’clock in the afternoon, the usual time I’d come out of my cocoon and get ready for the night’s show. I hadn’t rested or even slept a wink because my mind had been racing with thoughts.
Consumed by one person.
Evelyn Harper.
“Yeah. Come in.” I told Red as I waved him over, sitting up straight against the headboard of my bed. The curtains of the canopy of my bed were drawn at the window’s side, engulfing me in my own dark shelter. I turned on the light on the bedside table and cleared my throat a little, thanking Red for the tray he put on my bed.
Fruits, bacon, coffee and blood.
The usual.
I reached for the crimson liquid that had been poured into a mug, taking a sip of it as my eyes followed Red’s figure around the room. He sat on a chair near the bed and leaned his arms on his knees, looking at me knowingly.
“How do you feel?”
An uncomfortable question I didn’t know if I was able to answer. I felt a lot of things and even after thinking things over for the entire night, I didn’t know how I was supposed to feel.
Hurt, angry, frustrated, heartbroken.
“She don’t remember me, Red. I knew she wouldn’t, but goddamnit, seein’ her like that.. it.. it’s hell, man.”
Red nodded his head a little, rubbing his hands together. He’d been there when everything went down – he knew the reason why she didn’t remember anything and he knew how much it broke me.
Back then, and now all over again.
“You know how easily this can be reversed, right? We get her here alone and undo the compulsion.”
“And then what? We’d have to fight off hunters for the next ten, twenty years.. Take her whole life away from her. I can’t do that, Red.”
Red sighs deeply and looks down at his daylight ring, twirling it around his finger. “You’ve done it before..”
His words were low and maybe he didn’t mean for me to hear them, but I did.
I was aware he didn’t mean it in a malicious way and his intention wasn’t to hurt me, but the words made something inside of me snap.
I threw the mug of blood against the nearest wall, shoving the tray off my bed, not caring about the mess it made.
“I did not take her life away from her,” I gritted through my teeth, standing at the side of my bed as I pointed my finger at the other vampire. “We loved… we love each other.”
Evelyn might not remember me, but that wasn’t her fault. It was the fault of the people she called friends, of the people she called family. In my heart, I knew she still loved me.
And I wanted her to remember, more than anything in the world, but I’d never experienced someone being uncompelled.
I didn’t know what the aftermath would be.
Would it even work? Would she remember everything or just small snippets of the past? Would it hurt her?
Would she even want anything to do with me?
Hell, who knows. It could possibly even kill her and I'd rather step into the scorching Vegas sun without my ring rather than for that to happen.
At least now I had her nearby and she felt something, hatred of all things, but that was better than nothing.
By uncompelling her, I’d turn her whole life around.
Red got up and raised his hands as if he was surrendering, knowing not to anger me further. I groaned and sat down on the edge of my bed, my head in my hands. I felt Red patting my shoulder twice, releasing a low sigh through his nose.
“I know you did. She loved you once, Elvis, and she can do it again. There’s plenty of witches running around Vegas, just say the word…”
I stayed silent, listening to Red’s soft footsteps walking to the door. I wasn’t sure what the best way to handle all of this was yet, but I had to have at least a back up plan.
Raising my head, I spoke up before Red could leave the room.
“Red..”
“Yeah, boss?”
He looked back at me as I got back into the bed, grabbing onto open curtain of my bed. “Make the call.”
With that, I pulled the black velvet curtain closed, drowning myself in darkness before the show tonight.

The Kingdom of Mapungubwe (or Maphungubgwe) (c.1075–1220) was a medieval state in South Africa located at the confluence of the Shashe and Limpopo rivers, south of Great Zimbabwe. The name is derived from either TjiKalanga and Tshivenda. The name might mean "Hill of Jackals". The kingdom was the first stage in a development that would culminate in the creation of the Kingdom of Zimbabwe in the 13th century, and with gold trading links to Rhapta and Kilwa Kisiwani on the African east coast. The Kingdom of Mapungubwe lasted about 80 years, and at its height the capital's population was about 5000 people.
This archaeological site can be attributed to the BuKalanga Kingdom, which comprised the Kalanga people from northeast Botswana and western Zimbabwe, the Nambya south of the Zambezi Valley, and the Vha Venda in the northeast of South Africa. The Mapungubwe Collection of artifacts found at the archaeological site is housed in the Mapungubwe Museum in Pretoria.
Tumblr media
The largest settlement from what has been dubbed the Leopard's Kopje culture is known as the K2 culture and was the immediate predecessor to the settlement of Mapungubwe. The people of the K2 culture, probably derived from the ancestors of the Shona and Kalanga people of southern Africa, was attracted to the Shashi-Limpopo area, likely because it provided mixed agricultural possibilities.The area was also prime elephant country, providing access to valuable ivory. The control of the gold and ivory trade greatly increased the political power of the K2 culture. By 1075, the population of K2 had outgrown the area and relocated to Mapungubwe Hill
Tumblr media
The capital of the kingdom was called Mapungubwe, which is where the kingdom gets its name.  There is controversy regarding the origin and meaning of the name Mapungubwe. Conventional wisdom has it that Mapungubwe means "place of jackals," or alternatively, "place where jackals eat", thavha ya dzi phunguhwe, or, according to Fouché—one of the earliest excavators of Mapungubwe—"hill of the jackals" (Fouché, 1937 p. 1).  It also means "place of wisdom" and "the place where the rock turns into liquid"—from various ethnicities in the region including the Pedi, Sotho, Venda and Kalanga.
Tumblr media
Mapungubwean society is thought by archaeologists to be the first class-based social system in southern Africa; that is, its leaders were separated from and higher in rank than its inhabitants. Mapungubwe's architecture and spatial arrangement also provide "the earliest evidence for sacred leadership in southern Africa". Life in Mapungubwe was centred on family and farming. Special sites were created for initiation ceremonies, household activities, and other social functions. Cattle lived in kraals located close to the residents' houses, signifying their value. Most speculation about society continues to be based upon the remains of buildings, since the Mapungubweans left no written record. The kingdom was likely divided into a three-tiered hierarchy with the commoners inhabiting low-lying sites, district leaders occupying small hilltops, and the capital at Mapungubwe hill as the supreme authority. Elites within the kingdom were buried in hills. Royal wives lived in their own area away from the king. Important men maintained prestigious homes on the outskirts of the capital. This type of spatial division occurred first at Mapungubwe but would be replicated in later Butua and Rozwi states. The growth in population at Mapungubwe may have led to full-time specialists in ceramics, specifically pottery. Gold objects were uncovered in elite burials on the royal hill (Mapungubwe Hil

Bit of Headcanoning this morning. Forgive the length.
Tarnese / Kaonese
Kaonese and Tarnese contain the same basal foundation, with a very phonetic form and function. Due to the lack of adequate reading programs and a lack of access to education, this language was created around the ability to teach from one mechanism to another without the use of coursework.
Primarily, it is taught from batch leader to batch clade, and so on and so forth. In each subsequent generation the language shifts and expands as new words, modifiers, inflections, and actions are added to the vernacular. The main difference between the two city-states is the series of action modifiers that either includes factories or mining.
Basal glyph structure-
ae / ei / i / ai / ea / he / ve -
These basal sounds are the foundation of the lower levels of Kaon and Tarn. They are replicated through subvocal cortexes located within the back part of the vocalizer, or vox-coder (depending on one's construction or emergence) and simple action indicators.
Secondary Glyph Structure.
These secondary sounds are the building of the subject on top of the action indicators. The subject changes the rules of the action indicators, which allows the beginning phrase to take on several different meanings despite grammatically remaining the same.
Example:
che - to run vhe - to walk mhe- to jump
Adding secondaries such as:
sai - This one mhi - That one vha - That One (honorific- as neither basal dialect has a word for the singular possessive of "I.")
This changes with the addition to:
sai'che - this one runs mhi'vhe - that one runs Vha'mhe - The One jumps.
Tertiary Glyph Structure The last part of the basal structure is the modifier. The modifier is akin to the human adjective- as it describes how the subject is doing the action. This changes more on inflection than it does with actual word change and modification. Modifiers such as se, ve, ha, ni, cho help give the scope of what the action is doing in relation to the subject at hand.
Example:
sai/che + se = This one runs quickly mhi'cho'vhe = That one runs slowly. Vha'ha'mhe = The One ran loudly.
The modifiers help describe how the action is done, and what the subject is doing. This, of course, changes with honorifics, intent, and tone- depending on the situation at hand.
Sometimes, hand gestures can be incorporated to emphasize a point- which lends to Kaonites and Tarnians to be highly visual speakers with grandiose and exaggerated gestures. In more reserved cultures, this can be misconstrued as threatening or pompous- but it's simply because the Tarnians have had less access to the more verbose and intricate wordplay that higher Castes can utilize.

It's good to see you posting again Sarai! I have a question though. Vhaso'a has a new tumblr now and he talks of being single. I thought he and Sarai were a happy couple. Did something happen or is he playing you? He used to be really bad about that and I hoped he was getting better, but...
First of all, thank you for the welcome back! It feels good. I’m going to do my best to get content out more, even if a lot of it is aesthetics or screenshots. I want to do more writing though!
Second: Rest assured, nothing happened, Vhaso’a and Sarai are still a happy couple. He is in no way playing me, or anyone else for that matter. After his tumblrs got nuked from orbit, he didn’t bother making them again, he was fed up. Of course, he and I continued to RP outside of tumblr, and still have that going on! However, he decided recently to revamp Vha, and have his ingame play be a new verse - specifically, his single, playboy, Priest of Menphina persona - and have that verse be his default on tumblr. Kind of a reset, if you will. (that persona is the one he enjoys best and gives him the most drive to write and create content, he told me. I’m sure he’ll explain it sometime soon.) There are still other verses to be had, of course. Which includes ours and the history we already have over the past two years. He still hasn’t worked out all the kinks on how to handle that on tumblr just yet, but that’ll work itself out soon enough.
With that in mind, for now, anything I post that doesn’t have a specific tag is considered to be in Sarai’s canon. Her canon includes her history with Vhaso’a, however that happens to work out with his own tumblr. I will have to update my tags to denote what’s what outside of canon, and perhaps create a canon tag? 
Once he’s figured out how he wants to tag/go about his verses, I’ll come up with something to match for easier tracking.
Anyway, that’s about it. Things are great, don’t worry. He’s totally awesome. I know all about the things that happened in the past and he’s moved on and become better about them. If you have any other concerns, anon (or anyone else), please come to me directly, either by ask OFF ANON or DM. My blog is really not the place to deal with drama, I only answered this so that I could explain what’s going on with his blog - he’ll be getting around to making a post about it soon, he’s told me, but said it was okay to shed light on it for now.

Telstra Corp Ltd Analysis & Company Information - GlobalData
In December 2020, Communications Minister Paul Fletcher officially pronounced the National Broadband Network (NBN) "fabricated and completely functional". What's more, it was proposed in an Australian Financial Review (AFR) interview that an obtaining by another telco, conceivably "Telstra Corp market analysis", was not off the table as the mode to privatization, a U-abandon past remarks made in 2019. As bits of hearsay flourish about a likely offer of NBN Co to Telstra, no mystery Telstra's CEO Andy Penn had long held plans on NBN Co. Nonetheless, Australian regulation keeps vertical incorporated telcos from claiming NBN, which was the thing Fletcher had been implying when he had excused such a suggestion."As such, someone who conveys retail media communications administrations can't claim NBN. That is prepared into the regulation," he said. Could Telstra at any point avoid NBN regulation?Apparently there might be a legitimate workaround this limit and Telstra is doing precisely only that through a rebuilding that will see its business parted into four organizations to be held by a holding organization - InfraCo Fixed to possess latent foundation, InfraCo Mobile to claim the versatile pinnacle resources, ServeCo to take the retail arm and one more element for its worldwide business. The substance probably going to gain NBN Co was distinguished as InfraCo Fixed. Nonetheless, it was accounted for by AFR that Penn had conceded in a meeting that Telstra needed to go further to be permitted to purchase NBN Co. Telstra's rivals were expectedly exasperated by Penn's remark, particularly Optus. A feeling of disloyalty is normal in the event that such an arrangement was permitted to go through. NBN Co was initially framed to break the upward imposing business model that was made when Telstra was privatized in 1997, leaving different players hazardously subject to Telstra to offer fixed line administrations. In 2011, both Telstra and Optus consented to an arrangement to separately move responsibility for great piece of their organizations to NBN Co for AU$11 billion and AU$800 million. For all that to fall under the control of Telstra would leave Optus perilously burdened. TPG Telecom, presently converged with Vodafone Hutchinson Australia (VHA), would be the main serious opponent to Telstra, never being important for that arrangement with NBN and having clutched its own cross country fixed network, which it amassed throughout the long term through the acquisitions of different ISPs including iiNet, Chariot and AAPT.As different proprietorship models are being considered for NBN, there are better choices out there to a securing by Telstra, which wouldn't think twice about open access model and keep up with the fair serious climate it was expected to make. The Singapore approach - business trustSingapore's Next Generation National Broadband Network (NGNBN), embraced a comparative division model where the dynamic framework was intended to be isolated from the detached foundation. The element, initially named OpenNet, was then offered to Singtel completely possessed auxiliary NetLink Trust, yet was sent by rival telco StarHub through an auxiliary Nucleus Connect. An IPO was chosen as the method of privatization and a perplexing three-layered trust structure was created to guarantee that no predominant telecom administrator could assume command over the organization. Netlink Trust would be held by Netlink NBN Trust, and the legal administrator supervisor of Netlink NBN Trust would be held by Singapore NBN Trust of which the deedholder is Singapore's biggest bank, DBS.After Singtel pared down its stake in Netlink NBN Trust to beneath 25% following an IPO in 2017 because of administrative necessities, this implied that following 2017, there is no prevailing investor in Singapore NBN trust. For NBN to arrive at a comparative end-state, NBN would should be an alluring resource for cost well in the IPO market. NBN Co might should be cut out into an "metropolitan" NBN Co, comprising of the more productive major metropolitan regions and fiber spines for privatization, and a "provincial" NBN Co, which might need to be held by the public authority for social reasons. Typically, country broadband inclusion is upheld by a widespread help commitment expense demanded on all telecom organizations. This would be like or expect alterations to the Regional Broadband Scheme which was carried out just January 2021. Dissimilar to Singapore, which has the monetary heave of its sovereign abundance reserve Temasek and it portfolio organization Singtel to mediate, shields should be set up with the goal that a threatening takeover probably won't be an issue for the freely recorded NBN Co. The New Zealand approach - cut out to non-telco playersNew Zealand, which faces comparative geological difficulties however has had an exceptionally effective execution of their public broadband organization, got going with two separate projects, the Ultrafast broadband (UFB) Initiative and the Rural Broadband Initiative (RBI), the two of which are overseen by Crown Fiber Holdings (CFH), an element laid out by the public authority. Telecom NZ, the New Zealand partner to Telstra, had to go through a demerger into Spark, which would claim the tasks, and Chorus, which would acquire the latent framework, as a precondition for support in the UFB sending projects. Chorale would in this manner become the foundation organization to plan and construct the fiber organization. Be that as it may, three other Local Fiber Companies (LFC) were likewise chosen to frame joint endeavors with CFH for sending of UFB across different areas; two of which - Northpower and WNL - come from power organizations, while the third was an ISP laid out by Christchurch City Council's venture arm. Under the business model utilized in the joint endeavor, the CFH joint endeavor begins as 100 percent CFH claimed, however the business accomplice's portion in the endeavor increments as business take-up continues, ultimately privatizing the element naturally and totally. This component implied that the UFB brought about a serious climate with four confidential area players, yet with local syndications. Rejecting NBN regulation would inconvenience more modest playersTo accomplish a comparable end express, Telstra's rebuilding should go further to cut out InfraCo Fixed into a different fiberco that gives just discount access and that Telstra doesn't have command over. In the mean time, NBN Co ought to be distributed segments, with fibercos, for example, the completely stripped InfraCo Fixed, and non-telco players, for example, service organizations and confidential value firms permitted to take part, with the precondition of not having a retail telco business in Australia. Another less difficult and less tangled privatization approach is scrap the regulation banishing upward incorporated telcos from taking responsibility for and to have each of the three significant telcos bring non-controlling stakes into NBN. Such is the situation with the making of China Tower from China three significant occupant telcos in 2014. Notwithstanding, this may then weakness more modest players, for example, Superloop, Aussie Broadband, MacTel, and possible future contestants.Join Free Demo Secession Now

Innovation revolutionary: Diversity and inclusion at the point of care
VA’s Office of Resolution Management, Diversity and Inclusion (ORMDI) focuses on ensuring Veterans feel seen and heard, ensuring VA meets people where they are. Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) can be uncomfortable for staff to navigate without a guide or additional resources. Pamela Black, Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) manager at Orlando VA, had an idea to change that. A history of compassion Black is an Air Force Veteran. She learned about camaraderie and diversity in the military. That isn’t something she had experienced in her hometown of Memphis. Raised by her grandparents and single mom, she developed a passion for helping others, particularly the marginalized and underserved. Pamela Black Black began as an EEO assistant at the Department of Defense (DoD) before applying for other EEO roles at VA. Because she wasn’t yet qualified for the positions, she left her 15-year career with DoD to join VA as an EEO intern at the West Palm Beach VA. After being promoted to EEO manager at the Orlando VA in 2020, Black began questioning her capacity. “Am I really doing a service to these people on my own? I can’t be everywhere at once, but I can equip others to serve.” Diversity and Inclusion advocacy Needing support to grow D&I advocacy, Black applied to the VHA Shark Tank Competition. At the same time, VA Secretary McDonough and his team were looking for D&I projects to grow. Getting support from her facility’s innovation program, the VA Diversity & Inclusion Advocate Program (VADIAP) went live in January 2021. VADIAP trains staff to be D&I advocates, supporting VA employees and Veterans alike. Creating a culture of inclusion, diversity, equity, and access (I-DEA) and building a strong VA-wide Special Emphasis Program are just some of these advocates’ responsibilities. Supervisors nominate one or more employees to serve as a service-level Advocate. The nominated Advocate is trained by EEO staff, Special Emphasis program managers, and other VHA stakeholders. Black is looking for people who are just as passionate and active about the work as she is. Supporting Veterans After three DoD Civilian tours in Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom, Black says her service has drawn her closer to the work she does. “As a civilian, the empathy and compassion it takes to serve Veterans helps me and shapes my work because I know what they’ve gone through.” A Veteran with a hearing impairment felt he was not being heard or treated fairly because he talked loudly. Black drew upon her compassion to better understand. She was able to advocate for the Veteran and educate other staff on how to better serve Veterans in similar situations. Get involved in innovation “Learning about people and the importance of taking the time to get to know them, that’s what advocacy is all about,” said Black. She has already seen a positive culture shift through open I-DEA discussions. If you are interested in learning more or adopting this program in your local VA, head to the Diffusion Marketplace site for VADIAP. Want to support VHA IE’s innovation revolution? Visit our website (https://www.va.gov/innovationecosystem/) to learn about opportunities to become involved in innovation at VA. Innovation Revolutionary is a recurring series from the VA Innovation Ecosystem. It focuses on VA employees who are disrupting the status-quo, breaking down barriers, and attempting to radically revolutionize Veteran care and the employee experience. https://ift.tt/gRnhiMH https://ift.tt/u4zvED5
