Equal Opportunity Photo Competition: Merit - Our Glorious Diversity (2022)

Merit: Our Glorious Diversity (2022)

By: Emmanuella Nhyira Agormeda-Tetteh (Faculty of Engineering)

Theme: Inclusion and Diversity

Brief Description:
Michelle Obama once said, “You see, our glorious diversity - our diversity of faiths and colours and creeds - that is not a threat to who we are. It makes us who we are.” I deeply appreciate these opportunities to further understand myself by first being curious and open to understanding others different from myself. Spending a day out in Wan Chai with two friends, I enjoyed the experience of visiting an Indian jewellery store and taking pictures under Chinese red lanterns after a hearty breakfast. The full experience was only enhanced by being with my friends because I was included into cultural conversations that I otherwise would have known little about.
