Hej! 👋 I'm Charlene (she/her), a Flow Planner at IKEA Savannah. To #TakeUpSpace means every day is an opportunity for us to inspire others and make our mark. This is leading through passion, which ultimately helps others achieve their dreams and goals.
Hej friends! 🙂 My name is Mayra Nelson (she/her), and I am an Info & Smaland Leader at IKEA Draper. Taking up space is important to me because it's a lesson I'm learning in my journey to self-love. My voice helps me build more confidence and step into a life that resonates with my authentic self. I hope to encourage others whose voice is not often heard, or their presence noticed, to step out and share their light because we are worthy of love and space. 💛

The IKEA Foundation has donated €10 million to provide emergency assistance in southern Türkiye and northern Syria. The donation will go to the Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) emergency fund to provide medical assistance where needs are greatest. The grant will support the delivery of essential aid, including medical assistance, psychological support and healthcare services to people impacted by the devastating earthquakes. We are also calling on others to join us in the relief support for southern #Türkiye and northern #Syria. We will continue to speak with other partners in the region who are coordinating with officials from Türkiye and northern Syria to further understand needs and opportunities to provide additional assistance.
Hej friends! My name is Monique Edwards (she/her) and I am a Loyalty Manager at IKEA Fishers. I would encourage young Black people to #TakeUpSpace by taking intimidating opportunities, especially when no one in the room looks like you, because you are qualified to be there, and you belong. 💛 #LifeAtIKEA #BlackHistoryMonth
