When faced with complex challenges, individuals from different backgrounds can offer alternative viewpoints and approaches. This diversity of problem-solving strategies allows teams to consider a wider range of options and select the most effective solution. By encouraging diverse perspectives, organizations can tap into a wealth of knowledge and experience, leading to more efficient and effective problem-solving processes. Increased Employee Engagement and Satisfaction A diverse and inclusive workplace fosters a sense of belonging and acceptance among employees.

Expanded Market Reach Having a diverse workforce can help organizations better understand and connect with a wide range of customers.

Diversity is the oasis that waters the root of life but the soil of society is spoiled with prejudices that oppose its growth.

A one-of-a-kind creation ~ Self Portrait 365|23

If you celebrate your differentness, the world will, too.

It believes exactly what you tell it—through the words you use to describe yourself, the actions you take to care for yourself, and the choices you make to express yourself.

Tell the world you are a one-of-a-kind creation who came here to experience wonder and spread joy.

Why, Bella Donna?

By Ezra Mendoza

To ask you the reason behind those tears is hard

To wonder about your smile is even harder

You are beautiful just the way you are

You are my bella donna

We grew up together, shared our dreams, told our fears

We played in the mud and bathed in the rain

I was the good girl, you were the bad

I know I can be bad, I know you can be good

I was the little angel while you were the little devil

Black and white, milk and honey

We are different yet we are the same

You were my best friend and my best enemy

You combed your hair, I sang lullabies

You were loud, I was quiet

You liked the talks, I preferred the walks

We are different but we are the same

You liked pink, I liked yellow

You were gregarious, I was reserved

You weren't timid but I was always shy

You were girly, I was dorky

We weren't twins but our Sunday dresses were

We are much too different but we are the same

Time did its work

From being daddy's girls, we became little ladies

I've found my friends, you've found yours

I sought for wisdom while you looked for fun

Time again did its work

I left home for wisdom's sake

You left home for fun's sake

Our hearts were shattered, we were just naivetes

I built my dreams but I failed

You wanted love and fun but they're no fun

Everything's different now

We both have changed

I know not an elm tree but I still dream of it

You wanted a rose and you still want it

We have changed but we are still the same

I've known you for so long but I don't know you at all

You broke my heart by letting men break yours

Why do you have to marry the night when we are the children of light?

Why do you long for the things that are fleeting?

Why haven't you protected your anointing?

Get over that pity party

You said that I am loved and you weren't

I was everyone's favorite and you weren't

That's not the truth

Don't buy the lies of your heart

I spoke in puns and I loved the metaphors

But I'd try to be a little bit plain to make you sane

You thought that I was fine but I am not

I have my faults and my mistakes

I wanted to be perfect but I cannot be one

You wanted my life while I wanted yours

I dealt with expectations, you dealt with freedom

I was wimpy, you were adventurous

I was boring, you were vivacious

God made us different but we are the same

And again, everything's changed

I've found my haven, it's a different place

It wasn't just a place but a face

Blossomed into a woman, well-loved

Yet she's deeply insecure 

Men broke her heart but she wasn't fazed

Loving is her strength, love knows no end

She cannot love in a daze , always forever's end

Forever is ever after, that means no end

She went home, fell in love again, broke her heart again

She stood up and loved still

She is not easily discouraged

While you loved and lost heart

You played with the cards

Please stop, my bella donna

You are beautiful in your own way

Love a man but don't give yourself away.
