We believe a rainbow would be boring without all the colors. We also believe the world would be less interesting, impactful, and meaningful without the wide range of people in it.
We understand that it is diversity and a wide range of thoughts and backgrounds that create powerful transformation in the world.
We respect all races, religions, creeds, gender identities, sexual orientations, ages, national origins, disabilities, and backgrounds and have a zero-tolerance policy for those who don’t.
