Diversity relates to various aspects of our identity and background such as our race, our sex, the generation we were born into, where we grew up, our socioeconomic background, our religious/non-religious beliefs, our profession, our education, our physical and mental ability/disability, our sexual orientation, our gender identity and so much more. All of these aspects of our identity impact how we view the world, our values, the way we view others and the advantages and disadvantages we experience from society.

To learn more about the diversity of identities, watch a TED Talk from Maysoon Zayid. Also, check out this TED Radio Hour from NPR that presents different narratives of how people have come to learn about their identities (transcripts provided).
