We got the grant! Many gracious thanks to Applied Materials for supporting our Mosaic Silicon Valley initiative! Talking about the many different ethnic, racial, religious communities that make up the US as a "melting-pot" assumes that all these communities have blended together. Not only is this an irrelevant way to think about the rich demographic diversity of places like the Bay Area, but it is also a harmful in the way that it assumes that the differences between these c...ommunities are unimportant and not valuable. Thank you to Applied Materials for understanding that we can do better than lumping every single demographic together and calling it a "melting-pot". The many different colors and creeds that surround us everyday is a mosaic pieces from all around the world. #mosaic #mosaicsiliconvalley #diversity #bayarea #meltingpot?
