From media to schools to religion the message is clearly stated. It is not ok to be different.

Why do we hate differences so much and how do we learn to not just appreciate our differences but use them to work together to make things better? #embracedifferences #diversityandinclusion #unityindiversity #e360tv #trajectorytv #workingitoutacrossgenerations
