 What does diversity mean to me? What does diversity mean to me? What does diversity mean to me? What does diversity mean to me? What does diversity mean to me? Diversity is actually just a fact of life. It's what makes our society rich. It makes it productive. It makes the society healthy. When I think of diversity and inclusion, I think of community. When I think of a community that represents multiple identities, it works really hard to respect and honor each other. Diversity to me is an unspoken language that is used to understand shared experiences. You know, speaking of diversity, it's not just about race. A lot of people think it is about race issues. It involves a lot of things like religion, sexuality, ethnicity, and much more. All of those things we consider to be defined under the umbrella of diversity. How does my diversity impact the way that I see my clients, the way that I'm going to meet my treatment plan goals or develop my treatment plans goals with them? It's sort of like stepping into someone else's shoes to see the world through their eyes and trying to remind myself that my worldview is only just that and that there are other perspectives and ways of seeing things. It means that there's a vast collective, whether it's religions, ethnicities, genders, races, all in the collective working towards a common goal. Compassion, curiosity, knowledge, and really engaging with people, learning about people and empathizing with what people have gone through and just really listening to try to better understand. As psychologists, we're called to respect all people and to be open to learn more about them. Then I can truly appreciate the differences in other people and allow them to enrich my world. And that's what diversity means to me. And that's what diversity means to me. And that is what diversity means to me. And that's what diversity means to me.
