‘Diversity’ is a powerful concept that encompasses a variety of differences between people. It involves the collaboration and inclusion of a myriad of perspectives and experiences. When we embrace people of different social backgrounds, ethnic influences, genders, and sexual orientations, we create a rich tapestry of uniqueness and distinction.
