@FrenchToast Please list some advantages of a diverse team.

Some advantages are that we all have different strengths and that we can each relate to different members from all backgrounds. I also think it helps us specialise more on the things we know and our culture and help support members if we want to. I also think it gives us more of a choice and helps leadership as a lot of people are represented not just one group.

 How can we be respectful of different cultures on 7 Cups?

I think especially with seasonal events not to pressure people into involvement and run more of a volunteer base as then people can volunteer what they are comfortable with as well as asking the community what events they are interested in celebrating/hosting over the year,
