**At its core, diversity means recognizing and valuing the differences between people.**

However, it's much more than just acknowledging those differences. Here's a more comprehensive look:

**Key Aspects of Diversity:**

* **Identity:** Diversity encompasses all the different characteristics that make individuals unique. This includes:
    * **Race & Ethnicity:**  A person's cultural background and ancestry.
    * **Gender & Gender Identity:**  A person's internal sense of being male, female, both, or neither, and how they express that.
    * **Sexual Orientation:**  A person's emotional, romantic, and/or sexual attraction to others.
    * **Age:**  Differences in generational experiences and perspectives.
    * **Socioeconomic Status:**  A person's economic and social class.

    * **Equity** recognizes that people start from different places and may need different levels of support to achieve equal outcomes.
    * **Inclusion** is the act of creating environments where all individuals feel welcomed, respected, valued, and empowered to participate fully.



**In short:**

**Diversity is the presence of difference. Inclusion is making the difference matter.**
