Pride in diversity extends to all sorts of categories.

I spent a good chunk of my life working to help people who speak one of 6000 minority languages in the world today.

Often, minority language groups are marginalized. In one case, people are so ashamed of their identity, they deny they speak their language when they’re outside their area, hoping no one will guess.

To survive in today’s world, most people need to be bi- or multi-lingual, or at least have a family member who is. But whatever language they use, I hope they embrace their unique identity as a treasure, just as I work to embrace my unique identity as a treasure!
