celebrating diversity
In a world where different cultures and perspectives clash, it is more important than ever to understand and celebrate cultural diversity. In fact, diversity is something that should be celebrated every day, not just on World Day for Cultural Diversity. As a company that pursues diversity within our walls, we want to commemorate this special day by sharing the voices of our employees. Our team is composed of people from various cultural backgrounds, and we want to highlight their unique voices by sharing things they feel people should know about their culture.
“Greeks have an unwavering pride in our culture, our passion for coffee, and deep respect for family and traditions. We carry our cultural heritage as a badge of honor. Coffee is vital and serves as a symbol of savoring the present moment. Family and parties lie at the heart of our culture!”
“Pakistanis go above and beyond to ensure the comfort and happiness of our visitors, whether it is a cup of chai or just a warm welcome, we take pride in our hospitality. Apart from our famous spices, herbs, turmeric infused dishes, our clothing is a vibrant reflection of our country’s heritage.”
“What people outside of Mexico refer to as, “Mexican Food” is often, Tex-Mex. Our cuisine is known for its bold flavors, colorful presentations, and diverse ingredients. From street tacos and enchiladas to rich mole sauces, Mexico embodies a celebration of flavors. It is not only known for our vibrance and traditions, but also known for inventing Color TV by Guillermo Gonzalez Camarena who was only 17 years old.”
“Egyptians are known for their awe-inspiring pyramids, hieroglyphics, and remarkable civilization, the ancient Egyptians continue to fascinate and intrigue us to this day. We invented a lot of things we use today like musical instruments, keys, cosmetics, toothpaste and more. Not many know that both men and women wore makeup to protect the skin from the hot sun, and of course they also believed it had healing powers. Green and black makeup were common, green made from copper and the black was lead. Interesting to learn the origins of modern items reach back into history that far.”
Celebrating diversity should not just be a one-day event but something that we should practice every day. As a company, we are committed to creating an inclusive workplace where everyone feels valued and respected. We hope that this blog has inspired you to embrace the richness that cultures bring. We encourage you to share your experiences and thoughts on cultural diversity with us and see how we can work together to create a more diverse and inclusive workplace for your organization.
