Why we get so stressed out when the topic is Diversity and Inclusion?
2020 was a transformational year offering challenges to all of us in the not only from a worldwide pandemic but also the come back of racial discussions to the front line of every news channel.
It seems we are stuck in a PROTEST mode when the topic is racial injustice. I mean stuck because while to protest and raise our voice against inequalities is critical, we are not being able to go beyond the protest phase.
It’s time to get together, be vulnerable to sit down with others that have different life stories, different ontologies and opinions. And co-create new and more effective solutions TOGETHER.
Diversity, Equality and Inclusion is NOT only about Black. It affects all of us to some extend. For example, how much diversity of thought you allow yourself to have? How much you embrace inclusion of new perspectives in your own life?
The division we are seeing in the external world is a reflex of the division we have within ourselves. A division that causes incredible pain to Blacks, Latinos, Whites, everyone.
2021 and the years ahead offer us an unique opportunity. The chance to REBUILD TOGETHER. And BETTER. The infinite possibilities to create a world with Equality, Diversity and Inclusion are available to us. Let’s be brave to create new CONVERSATIONS every day, coming from a mood of peace, curiosity and motivation to create this better future. Now is the time!
