The things that tormented me were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, or who had ever been alive.*
James Baldwin
An increase in racial diversity by just one standard deviation increased productivity by more than 25 percent in legal services, health services and finance … Diversity isn’t some optional add-on. It isn’t the icing on the cake. Rather, it is the basic ingredient of collective intelligence.**
Matthew Syed
The great oneness,
As Mohandas Gandhi named it,
Is our great endeavour.
We are wrong
if we believe this only exists
in diversity, equality, and inclusion policies.
It is, as those
who have orbited our planet know,
Our reality.
I once was lost in a smaller world,
But, thank God, I keep being found
into a larger world.
