“Use Your Difference to Make a Difference: How to Communicate in a Cross-Cultural World”
Ashlyn Richards ‘21: “It was amazing to be able to listen to Tayo talk tonight. It was such a motivational and inspirational presentation that definitely opened my eyes to the difference in communications across our diverse and cross-cultural world. . . a statement by Tayo that stuck out to me was his explanation of equality vs equity. While equality is giving everyone the same opportunities, equity is giving individuals the appropriate number of opportunities based on their current status. . . a quote by Tayo that really inspired me was, "educate don't perpetuate", meaning to educate yourself and continue to fill your mind with knowledge instead of continuing a path filled with biases and unfair stereotypes and boundaries.”
