Awesome. Inspiring is this talk. Yet very interesting and disappointing. Tim & I are both are diversity trainers and actually this is our story, It’s how we met based on our passions and training people about culture. Diversity training is at the center of our hearts, so we share this video in all good conscience and to encourage up a new level of thought life.
