Perspectives
Season 2
How did we get here?
In this episode, we look at how the hospitality industry reflects identity, place and diversity under the core value of empathy. Our experts question how we can recognize our similarities while also respecting our differences; how we represent our own identities in new environments; and how the industry can meaningfully and tangibly make changes to celebrate diversity.
