I haven't done years of diversity training, so sometimes I say things which are probably tactless, and I don't mean to, to be honest, I don't mean to do that.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
'Diversity' is like, 'Ugh, I have to do diversity.' I recognize and celebrate what it is, but that word, to me, is a disconnect.
It's really important to share the idea that being different might feel like a problem at the time, but ultimately diversity is a strength.
Diversity means understanding.
Diversity really means becoming complete as human beings - all of us. We learn from each other. If you're missing on that stage, we learn less. We all need to be on that stage.
I think diversity is a challenge everywhere.
Like, you can't tell a certain race, like, 'You're supposed to act this way, and you're not supposed to act this way because of what color you are,' like, that's just holding everybody back, you know what I'm saying?
Diversity is about all of us, and about us having to figure out how to walk through this world together.
Diversity is such an interesting word. I feel like when people hear the word 'diversity,' they think that it means only people of color, when in reality, diversity is all-inclusive; it means everyone.
I'm a fierce advocate for diversity. Always have been, always will be.
I have never wavered from my intention to advance the cause of diversity in new and more effective ways.
