Embrace Distinctiveness to Create Unity

Diversity work should focus on celebrating individual identities rather than framing it as a conflict between oppressors and the oppressed. It encourages people to retain and share their unique cultural and personal backgrounds, akin to a potluck where everyone brings their distinctive contributions. By highlighting and valuing these individual stories and traditions, diverse groups can foster richer interactions and creative combinations, exemplified by the blending of different cultural influences in music and cuisine.

Embracing distinctiveness is key to forming a unified community where all voices and histories are honored and shared.
