It is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept, and celebrate those differences

Audre Lorde, a renowned writer, feminist, and civil rights activist, once said, “It is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept, and celebrate those differences.” This powerful statement speaks to the heart of the issue of division and discrimination in society. Lorde believed that our differences should be embraced and celebrated, rather than used as a means to separate and oppress others.

Lorde was a champion for diversity and inclusivity, advocating for the recognition and acceptance of all individuals, regardless of their race, gender, sexual orientation, or any other characteristic that sets them apart from others. She believed that by embracing our differences, we can create a more just and equitable society where everyone is valued and respected.
