we are not here 

to deny 

cultural heritage. 

but we are here 

TO ASK

informed questions. 

CAN WE LISTEN

to each others 

EXPERIENCES

of 

societal structures 

+ ACKNOWLEDGE

their validation 

despite their differences. 

matching

ATTENTIVE LISTENING 

with

empathy + compassion 

widens the spectrum 

of our understanding 

OF THE WORLD.
