How are you celebrating Wear it Purple Day today? 💜
Meet Huia Raniera, a grain terminal operator who's leading change in her workplace.
The Carrington grain terminal was once a sea of orange high-vis, but splashes of other colours have been appearing at the Newcastle site.
There are rainbow posters around and Huia has been spray-painting tutus purple to help her colleagues celebrate and show solidarity with LGBTQIA+ folks like her.
Huia is one of the ambassadors for the company’s Inclusion and Diversity Action Plan and runs engagement sessions once a month.
"[At first] it was challenging, but we overcame it and a lot of the guys are more chill now. They can openly ask questions, joke, and have meaningful chats now.
"And a lot of them have kids and I expressed to them, 'If ever there are questions that you need to ask, I'm happy to help'."
