What have you learned in this current season of your work that will fuel your hope for the future?
In my current season of work I have learned about the importance and the challenges of diversity. As an expatriate living in Africa, I have noticed how our personal culture has trained us overtime to react and respond in specific ways to any situation that comes up. It is my hope for the future that there is an increase in loving your neighbor as yourself around the world and diversity in the workplace is fuel for that hope.
