this board wasn't planned as the centrepiece of our booth โ but it became one ๐ฅน
we asked "what reminds you of home?" and people stopped, picked up a marker, and wrote in their language. arabic, tagalog, mandarin, hindi, nepali, maltese, swahili, malay, polish, tamil, korean โ and so many more.
some wrote a word. some wrote a feeling. someone wrote "sambal goreng (malay / singapore / malaysia)" โ and if that doesn't make you hungry and homesick at the same time, we can't help you ๐
that's what DiversAbilities is built around. Connection. Conversations. Culture. Collaboration. Contribution. the Capacity to show up as your whole self โ and see your language on a board at an expo and think, oh, someone thought of me.
thank you to every single person who stopped by, wrote something down, asked questions, or just stayed for a chat. you made this weekend what it was.
if you haven't already โ join DiversAbilities. it's free, it's multilingual, and it's built for communities like yours.

we're not done. we're just getting started ๐
