Inclusion & Interconnectedness
Inclusion in its broadest sense, is about embracing an intersectional approach to diversity and acknowledging our interconnectedness. Everything is connected and contributes to the whole. Interconnectedness is a philosophical and spiritual idea that refers to the connection of all things — from our personal multi-faceted experiences, to nature, to the universe.
