It’s about embracing human diversity. It’s about saying, “We see you and you belong with us.” </p><p>Our differences are precious; they make us smarter, stronger, more humble. They balance our biases and weaknesses. They open our minds. We do our best work when we understand a problem from all its perspectives. </p><p>We encourage others to do what we can’t, and we help them succeed.
