Bridging And Belonging

“It is not our diversity which divides us; it is not our ethnicity, or religion or culture that divides us. Since we have achieved our freedom, there can only be one division amongst us: between those who cherish democracy and those who do not.”  - Nelson Mandela

Add your voice to the conversation as we explore building bridging and not erecting walls.
