Diversity*


Accepting people regardless of their ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, ability or religion means to respect and understand that each person is unique. As a concept might sound deep and beautiful, but the truth is that this has been the most difficult issue for humanity. How to understand or value something that you do know? That’s the problem.


Many times the same culture to which we belong, don’t allow us to accept something different to us, but who has shaped the culture? People who didn’t dare to see beyond of the end of their noses, missing the opportunity to enrich their minds. In short, I can say that I've had great experiences knowing people from a different culture, helping me to understand and see things beyond what might seem at first sight. I am thankful to have these people in my life!
