“I express my culture through being myself at work. This includes talking about topics that are important to me and my community, wearing my hair however my mood feels for that day, and inspiring my team to think more inclusively as we create.”

“As an African-American woman, I recognize that my heritage has rich diversity within it. My expression of culture extends through traditions such as church, family reunions, music, soul food, and dance. I embrace my culture through civic involvement that empowers my community at large.”
