The Story of Unity in Diversity with Rhonda Rosenberg

“Diversity is having a seat at the table, inclusion is having a voice and belonging is having that voice be heard”. This beautifully sums up Rhonda Rosenberg’s WHY in life.

 

Rhonda Rosenberg is the executive director of the Multicultural Council of Saskatchewan. Her ideology of creating a community where people are heard, understood and included regardless of their colour, race or beliefs is something that people will remember Rhonda and her story for years to come.

 

Tune into our latest episode to get a glimpse of the journey, story and perspectives of Rhonda Rosenberg. We hope you all have something to takeaway from this episode and we leave you with…A Little Perspective.
