Key Takeaways
1. We have to give up some of our preferences for the sake of unity.
Citizens Akron does music from all different cultures and ethnicities. This makes it uncomfortable for everyone because they may not know what is being said or what they should do.
2. When we have ethnic diversity we have a more complete picture of reality.
Having one ethnicity only gives you one perspective. Including all ethnicities reveals other people's perspectives. This helps develop empathy and compassion for people who are different than you.
3. Be woke.
Don't be asleep to what is happening in culture. Be aware of the realities that your community is facing and what is happening in the culture.
