====Diversity & Inclusion in Polarised Northern Ireland ===== Professionals often speak of diversity and inclusion in the workplace. But what about its prevalence in broader society, especially in places with complex histories like ours? With the reopening of Stormont, it's time to reflect on this. I am a part of the diverse mosaic that makes up our community, and yet, at almost 50 and as a student, I am confronted with barriers that question the validity of my experience and my ability to contribute. My pursuit of education at this juncture is more than just academic; it's a journey to decipher how these societal barriers can be transformed into opportunities for growth and innovation. Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam once said: "Where there is righteousness in the heart, there is beauty in the character. Where there is beauty in the character, there is harmony in the home. When there is harmony in the home, there is order in the nation. When there is order in the nation, there is peace in the world." In this wisdom, there lies a call to action for each of us to cultivate integrity and character. For in doing so, we contribute to the harmony and order of our nation. Let us all be champions of this order, starting with the inclusion of all forms of diversity.
