Who does diversity include? Each of us! We all bring something unique to the table. What is it about your body, mind, or experience that makes you unique? This movement aims to stretch our thinking about diversity, to have us explore our contribution to the diversity of our commonwealth, and to help one another build a more inclusive Kentucky for us all. We are Kentucky. We are diversity.
