Last night, I attended the South Florida Business & Wealth 3rd Annual Diversity & Inclusion Awards. What a night! I had the chance to network with inspiring individuals and gained valuable insights into the current state of diversity, particularly in Florida (an area where there's clear work to be done).
As Editor-in-Chief Kevin Gale said, “ Having a narrow range of viewpoints can point us in the wrong direction, while a diversity of ethnicities, backgrounds, cultures, and identities creates a wonderful tapestry of conversation and enlightenment.”
Huge congratulations to all the honorees, especially my amazing client, architect and general contractor Maria Luisa Castellanos, R.A., LEED AP! She's a true trailblazer who continues to champion equity and inclusion in housing and the workplace.
