EDUCATION IS THE MOST POWERFUL WEAPON WHICH YOU CAN USE TO CHANGE THE WORLD.
Nelson Mandela
DIFFERENCE.
Let's be the difference because no matter how we define it, difference is a positive thing. It makes us who we are and makes the world more interesting. We need to drive change and support our loved ones in striving for a more inclusive and fair world that values difference, builds equality, practices empathy, and outs all forms of oppression.
We have curated content that shines a light on diversity, inclusion, and equity for you to use with your family to help open their minds, reflect on their own situations, and better understand others.
