The Diversity Calling

What do a Jewish woman from the Bronx, a Canadian-born multiculturalist, and a minister's
son from Minnesota all have in common? They, along with six other colleagues, all met on
a November day in Southern California to begin forming what would eventually become the
Diversity Community Exchange - DiCE. The DiCE group is a group of Diversity professionals
from various sectors of the industry (independent consultants, corporate Diversity offi cers,
and academia) who came together for the purposes of strengthening each other's skills and
commitment to Diversity principles, and explore ways to make the Diversity message more
understandable, visible, and accepted. Along the way, they discovered the tremendous
unifying power of stories to help effect these goals. The Diversity Calling - Building
Community One Story at a Time shares the stories of each of the nine DiCE members: Sonny,
Juan, Santalynda, Simma, Sidalia, Nadia, Tommy, Joe-Joe, and Marvin as they made their
individual journeys and choices to perform Diversity work. Reading their stories may cause
you to laugh, cry, and hope as you get to know them better, and in all likelihood will inspire
you to share a few stories of your own!
