October brings many cultural, cause, and group awareness
recognition, and celebrations including-
Breast Cancer Awareness, LGBT History Month,
Italian American Heritage Month, and Domestic Violence Month.
The above observances are evidence of the intersectionality
in our lives and world.
May the customs, rituals, and practices of these and other celebrations remind us that each of us is so much more than what we see and assume about each other.
“We, as human beings, must be willing to accept people who are different from ourselves.” –Barbara Jordan
