This is an interesting program and it made me recall an experience with my 4 year old in a grocery store. There was a man of east Indian descent in line behind us and my daughter kept looking at him and looking back at me. I swallowed hard wondering if she was about to say something about our differences that might me uncomfortable. But instead she pointed out that we were wearing the same type of shoe. The man smiled really big and said one word to me: “similarities.”
My six words, inspired by this….Thank you for your work.
