What’s the difference between tolerating diversity and embracing and celebrating diversity ? | Mother’s Entrepreneurs with Vicky Wu Davis and Cristina Pujol

Episode Summary

In our world, we are more and more connected and more and more mixed, bringing the diversity conversation at every level, and in every environment. But, are we tolerating the diversity or really embracing and celebrating it? My guest today: Vicky Wu Davis, shares her journey of embracing her uniqueness and, recognizing that diversity is a beautiful and natural thing, and can bring the biggest growth and best experiences. Through her life journey and her choices, she gives us an example of how to own your own differences, challenge the status quo and always take action about the issues that you care about, and that touches you emotionally. I often hear how some people what to help. Help in what?, I ask. The answer many times is: help people!, and it seems, that some think they need to save the world with some heroic action, and although there are some people who thankfully do that, others don't realize that a very important thing is to be connected to the problem or situation in the first place, and as Vicky points out, this will not only give you the motivation to keep going, but also a wisdom that many decision makers don't have to solve that same problem.
