#13 In Defense of Diversity with Lori L Tharps

On episode 13 of My American Meltingpot, I’m doing my first solo show in defense of diversity. I felt I needed to take this opportunity to defend my favorite word, “diversity,” because right now it seems like it’s the word everybody loves to hate.  I want to drag diversity out of the mud and restore it to its rightful place in our social activism lexicon. Here’s what I share in this episode:

• How I became diversity’s biggest fan,

• Who hates diversity and why?

• My personal definition of diversity.

• And finally, my two versions of the future; In version A, we continue to dismiss diversity and it doesn’t end well. In version B, we learn to embrace diversity and live happily ever after. Or something like that.
