Why diversity should be celebrated


Inclusion means valuing everyone’s differences. Photos: 123rf

I have an identical twin sister. Although our faces can unlock each other’s iPhones, the two of us are not exactly the same. If identical twins can differ, wouldn’t most people be different too? Why is diversity considered a bad word?

Like me, my twin sister is in computing, yet we are unique in many ways. She works in industry, while I am in academia. She’s allergic to guinea pigs, while I had pet guinea pigs (yep, that’s how she found out). Even our voices aren’t the same.
