A cat reminded me You are Me, 2020

The best way to learn is by interacting with someone who has a different truth than mine. Diversity nourishes people helping them to learn something new. I think we learn more from somebody who is different, than somebody who is similar to ourselves, that is why I think that diversity strengthens a community.
