RE:ACTION - ED&I Newsletter - Issue 04 - September 2023

RE:ACTION

The autumn period often brings a sense of deceleration and while nature is transforming so do our daily lives, from the adventurous summer activities to slower paced routines which give time for deeper reflection. Coincidently, or quite deliberately, this period is also dedicated to commemorating and raising awareness of numerous significant and deeply meaningful subjects a few of which are covered here: miscarriage and baby loss, menopause, and Black History Month. In this issue we aim to delve into these topics and explore together the feelings, struggles and conversations around them as well as better understand the weight of them.

FAREWELL FROM MARIA

As you are reading this newsletter, I will already have left REL This newsletter was born from a desire to get more people involved in ED&I (Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion) content and offer a place for everyone to share their stories, bringing us closer together. It has now been a year since the newsletter was created.

Thank you to the newsletter team (Ruta, Charlie, and Claire) for our work together bringing the newsletter to life and thank you to everyone who has contributed and read it. It was really fun putting the newsletter together and heart-warming to read everyone's contributions!

MESSAGE FROM ELT

TOM BURVILL

I am really pleased to have the opportunity to write in this edition of the ED&I newsletter. I am passionate about building a culture where every individual feels valued and empowered to make a positive impact. I have been facilitating an Empowerment Working Group with individuals from across the business which is a great forum to understand different perspectives and other people’s views on what empowerment means to them. It has become evident that we need to adapt our leadership styles and create enough flexibility in our processes and best practices to have the widest reaching impact across all individuals that make up our company and culture.

Before joining Reaction Engines, I spent seven years working in France, in a very French plant (when I started there was only one other English person out of the 1500 employees, and that happened to be Jonathan Grief, now at REL too). My GCSE French did not equip me for what I faced, and it was a very steep and tiring learning curve. I really appreciated the occasions when my colleagues would adapt their communication style to help me understand, and I think this ability to adapt to individuals’ needs and preferences is key to building an inclusive culture.

Beyond the language, the culture was also new to me, and I was ‘new’ to some of my colleagues who had not been exposed to working with diverse cultures that often in their careers. After a year or so, when the language had become less of a barrier, I could see that the diversity I brought to the team was adding value and this really helped build my confidence and sense of belonging.

After a few years this multi-cultural experience became part of my identity, and I even felt a little foreign when returning to the UK. We are so lucky at Reaction Engines to have such a diverse range of backgrounds and nationalities, and I really hope that everyone does feel a sense of belonging and part of the team.

WHAT IS AN ALLY OR ALLYSHIP?

CLAIRE FARROW

“The quality or practice of helping or supporting other people who are part of a group that is treated badly or unfairly, although you are not yourself a member of this group ”

Cambridge Dictionary

Depending on the source, the definition of an ally or allyship varies; however, the meaning behind it remains the same – being an ‘ally’ is not an identity, but a constant act and approach to life.

Whether you like the word ally / allyship or not, what we are describing is the act of showing up, speaking out, using your resources, and amplifying marginalised voices resulting from racism, ableism, sexism, religious persecution, or other forms of prejudice. Supporting someone other than yourself, whether you know them or not, publicly, and / or when no one is watching.

There are many ways to practise allyship and these may vary depending on the circumstances Being an ally doesn’t necessarily require grand gestures and as a starting point, I’m going to focus on ‘quiet allyship’

Important distinction: Quiet allyship doesn’t mean staying silent, or doing nothing, but rather is the ACTION you take when no one is looking, the way you amplify others, the modelling and normalising of pronouns and correct name pronunciation, the removal of exclusion or disadvantage, and the adoption of inclusive language

Here are some tips on practising quiet allyship or changing your habits in ways that may often go unnoticed but knowing it is the right thing to do:

If you haven’t taken the Harvard Implicit Association Test yet, visit www implicit harvard edu /implicit/takeatest html to check for biases

Buy from (and support) minority owned businesses

Seek out different versions of historical accounts to gain diverse perspectives

Find out when the next holy festival is, the story behind it, and how it is celebrated

Read work by diverse authors and watch films by minority filmmakers

Follow diverse voices in the media and share with your networks

‘Pass the mic’ when others are better placed to respond than you

Share your pronouns and correct name pronunciation in email signatures and video calls

Want to know where to start with community volunteering? Check out www goodgym org and impact app, ‘On Hand’, for community volunteering opportunities

Call others IN (rather than publicly shaming) to a conversation when you feel they may be misinformed or genuinely not realise that their words or actions are potentially harmful and help them to understand

Always use alternative text if sharing an image digitally and check out www lifeofablindgirl com for further tips, including making hashtags accessible

Practise active listening

Consider volunteering within your local community

Check your biases and work on unlearning harmful beliefs

Check for barriers to inclusion in processes or activities and ask yourself if anyone is being disadvantaged.

Want to learn more about becoming a better ally? Nova Reid’s book, The Good Ally, listed in the ED&I recommendations, is a great place to start.

BLACK HISTORY MONTH

Created in 1976 as an expansion of Negro History Week, Black History Month is observed every February in the U S In a deliberate act to maintain the distinction between U S black history and British black history, U K celebrations have been taking place during the month of October since 1987

Predominantly a time for celebration and recognition of the many contributions and achievements of black people throughout history, Black History Month also serves as a reminder that there is still much to learn

We recognise that Black History Month means different things to different people and we want to use this time to listen, reflect, and educate ourselves so that we can ensure we’re taking the right action towards a just and inclusive workplace

To quote U.K. Black History Month’s mission statement, we pledge to:

Dig deeper by listening, doing our own learning, and looking to organisations like the Association for Black and Minority Ethnic Engineers for guidance.

Look closer by auditing our culture to ensure that no individual is being disadvantaged.

Think bigger and act upon our findings.

If you are interested in reading more, with the help of our contributor, Jordan, we have identified some interesting books which delve into both U S and U K black history:

For Britain’s black history, described by historian, writer, broadcaster, presenter and film-maker David Olusoga as ‘Encyclopedic, courageous and passionately written’, Staying Power by Peter Fryer, first published in 1984, is “a panoramic history of black Britons, spanning the Roman conquest to the present day. ”

David Olusoga’s own work, Black and British: A forgotten history, “tells the rich and revealing story of the long relationship between the British Isles and the people of Africa and the Caribbean Reviewed as vivid confirmation that black history can no longer be kept separate and marginalised”

For U S black history, The 1619 Project: A New Origin Story “contextualises the systems of race and caste within which we operate today It reveals longglossed-over truths around America’s founding and construction - and the way that the legacy of slavery did not end with emancipation, but continues to shape contemporary American life ”

WHAT BLACK HISTORY MEANS TO ME

DAN CHERIN-YOUNG

g p ulder CO, a not very diverse town in a not very diverse state. In my immediate community, a small private school I attended from kindergarten through 12th grade, there were maybe a handful of kids who were also persons of color (BIPOC); not very diverse. No one seemed to realize the lack of diversity as their self-image boasted of being welcoming and inclusive. They posed as inclusionary but did not realize the community they’d created was so incredibly exclusive The cost of living in Boulder alone, not to mention the exorbitant cost of enrolment for the school, made it so a very particular set of people made up the community

“ We were taught of a version of racism that was indeed awful yet barely scratched the surface of the atrocities A version of racism that was explicit, primarily existed in the deep south, and that was a long time ago And, in this version, it ended there too ”

When it comes to teaching black history, if you had asked them, they’d say they did the best they could. There was a section focusing on black history where we learned about key figures in the civil rights movement They brought awareness to this awful era and how those civil rights leaders led a movement to overcome Now, over the last few years I have started seeking out my history on my own, trying to find a connection with my roots And I’ve come to realize that back then I was taught the bare minimum, tokenized versions of Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King Jr., Harriet Tubman, Frederick Douglass, etc. Versions of people that were made to be palatable, but that did not truly portray the depth of who they were or what they did. And completely skipping over so many others. We were taught of a version of racism that was indeed awful yet barely scratched the surface of the atrocities. A version of racism that was explicit, primarily existed in the deep south, and that was a long time ago. And, in this version, it ended there too

“ Focusing on black history for a month is an important step, yet there’s so much more to go. For me personally, this means trying to educate myself on the true depth of this history. I push myself to challenge the limiting ideas instilled in me and that portray black history as this foreign concept. ”

I saw a beautiful example of black history exploration in a show I’ve been watching recently, Abbot Elementary, about an all-black elementary school in Philadelphia. At Abbot, outside of two or three white characters, everyone is black In this episode, it’s black history month and a parent is upset that a white man would be the one teaching black history at this all-black school He angrily expresses this to the school’s principal who decides to sit in on the class to evaluate She ends up sitting in on the class every day that week loving the class, and even learning and gaining an appreciation for black history Not only is the white teacher excellently portraying this history in an engaging way, but he also teaches that many of the issues from that history long ago are still present, just in other forms. He even goes so far as to tell the students to question his lessons, as he’s white and therefore biased. The principal goes back to the parent and tells him that for one, the teacher is doing a surprisingly amazing job of it, and secondly, he teaches black history year-round and not only during that month. She goes as far as shaming the parent for only paying attention to this during black history month It’s a funny show and a comedic dynamic, but there’s a lot to unpack there

Maybe it resonated with me because it portrayed an education I wish I had A much more comprehensive and selfaware teaching on black history than was ever offered to me. Ultimately, I think the show represented what I’d like to see going forward. Focusing on black history for a month is an important step, yet there’s so much more to go. For me personally, this means trying to educate myself on the true depth of this history. I push myself to challenge the limiting ideas instilled in me from back then, that portray black history as this foreign concept. I’ll never be able to trace my family roots back more than a few generations, so I find solace in the idea that black history is my history More so, the roots of black history are completely entwined through all our pasts I’d argue that makes it your history too With that, I’d challenge you to join m questioning what you’ve been taught about black history and what ideas you holding onto.

“ The roots of black history are completely entwined through all our pasts, I’d argue that makes it your history too. With that, I’d challenge you to join me in questioning what you’ve been taught about black history and what ideas you’re holding onto. ”

MY EXPERIENCE WITH MISCARRIAGE

It is estimated that in the U K approximately 1 in 8 pregnancies end in miscarriage¹ I couldn’t believe that statistic when my doctor said it to me At the time, I didn’t think I knew anyone that had suffered from it and it didn’t seem to be covered much in the news or widely shared anywhere

I had a miscarriage at 6 weeks pregnant in 2021 after 18 months of trying unsuccessfully for a baby It was devastating to have something that you so desperately wanted snatched away from you, even if it was still relatively early on in the pregnancy As soon as you find out that you are pregnant, you imagine that you are going to have a baby and become a parent, and it just hadn’t entered my head that miscarriage was a possible outcome

Aside from the pain and discomfort of the physical symptoms of the miscarriage, I also suffered mentally, as did my husband When I then managed to get pregnant with my daughter a few months later, we spent every minute of the next 9 months worrying that it would happen again, and didn’t enjoy the pregnancy at all I also didn’t share anything to do with the pregnancy on social media, and only told friends and family when I was much further along

The thing I found the hardest was the lack of information Miscarriage and the reasons for it haven’t been widely studied, and what I desperately wanted most was answers as to why it had happened, so that I could see if there were any ways to try to prevent it happening again I spent hours fruitlessly searching the internet and stumbled across the charity Tommys²

Tommys is a baby charity that funds research into miscarriage, stillbirth, and premature birth so that they can help save babies’ lives and stop the heartbreak of baby loss. Their vital research is starting to make progress on understanding why baby loss happens and helps to improve safety and care during pregnancy. They also provide information and try to reassure and answer questions where possible. I found their website to be a huge help and comfort.

I decided after the miscarriage that I would discuss it openly to help break down the barriers of dealing with this particular form of grief. In doing so, I have found that many people I know have also sadly had a miscarriage, and while it is deeply sad that so many people have been affected by it, talking about it has been enormously helpful and has made me realise that I am not alone, and that it is not something that I personally did or could have done.

If you know someone that has experienced baby loss, try to be as supportive and understanding as possible. Give them the space to talk about it if they want to and give them time to come to terms with it. It is something that stays with you over time, like all grief, and eventually becomes something that you get used to dealing with. Support from family, friends, and your manager (if you’re comfortable telling them) is hugely important.

Note from the Editors

9th - 15th October 2023 is Baby Loss Awareness Week. Here at Reaction Engines we would like to create a safe and supportive space for anyone touched by pregnancy and baby loss to share their experiences and know that they are not alone.

If you suffer a miscarriage, at any stage of pregnancy, reach out to your line manager or the HR team and they support you during this time In the EAP (Employee Assistance Programme) you will also find trained professionals who can offer counselling/advice regarding this topic and many others

Supporting our local Armed Forces - Visit from Dalton Barracks Troops in Transportation Logistics and Engineering Careers Event - Harvey Thomas, David Ward, Claire Farrow, Nik Khanna

“Running the interview practice session at Aylesbury High was really fun and very insightful. It was also very interesting to hear what kind of concerns the students had around interviews in general. Especially at such a young age where they are just entering university or work and facing the prospect of an interview for the first time. I remember having very similar questions/fears during that period myself and hope to have helped by providing advice based on my own experiences or by debunking some common interview myths.“

- Loukia Kritioti

EMPLOYEE SPOTLIGHT

MARCEL WELSH

" I joined Reaction Engines three and a half years ago, initially on secondment from Rolls-Royce, but I liked it so much I never left I worked on the DEMO-A programme for about two years, initially as a Systems Engineer on the SABRE engine core demonstrator and then on the test side as part of the Themisto team More recently I have been working in Applied Technologies leading V&V activities and planning and executing testing

My role as a Systems and Test Engineer involves working with lots of people across the business and one of the things I really enjoy about working here is the diversity we have in cultures, with lots of different nationalities represented I feel there is a lot to learn about diversity and inclusion and am happy that Reaction Engines has put a significant emphasis on this in recent years, trying to make sure that everyone feels more included Looking forward to getting more involved and continuing the discussion in the future!"

" I have been at Reaction Engines since October 2022 when I joined as part of the Graduate Scheme. After a first month placement in manufacturing, I joined the Systems and Test team in Applied Technologies where I had the opportunity of working on some great projects like the HXLife Foils. I am currently halfway through my second placement in SAPA, where I am mainly working on some very cool CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) stuff.

I was born and raised in Italy and lived in the Netherlands for two years, where I studied for my Master's degree, before moving to the UK. After moving abroad, I realised how enriching it is to meet people with different cultures, backgrounds, and stories, and how fundamental being exposed to all of this was for my personal growth. I am passionate about ED&I because I believe sharing and embracing differences will make us better individuals, both on a personal and professional level, and I am really excited about being part of the team that will make this happen!
