It is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept, and celebrate those differences.” -Audre Lorde

“What if I’m not a Minority?”
You can and should still join!
Even if you don’t identify as a minority, you still need to know how to relate to your future customers and coworkers!
