DIVERSITY
Information

"Before you shoot
off your mouth,
make sure your
brains are loaded!"


- Abraham Lincoln
 

"Knowledge is power
IF we never stop
learning and we're not afraid
to talk about diversity candidly & respectfully.

Listening well & being
willing to learn about
another's person's
 truth, without judging,
are crucial
if all media is to be
inclusive &
 successful."


- Prof. Bob Rucker
