Creativity, by definition, is the joining of two or more things in a way that has never been seen before.

Diversity of experience and thought - driven by diversity of ethnicity, regionality, nationality, sexuality, (to name a few) -- adds to the pool of potential inputs, combinations, and patterns. And thus, diversity broadens and refreshes a team's ability to be truely, and sustainably creative.

Having diverse people is definitely good. As it is More reflective of the populations we advertise to ideally. Unfortunately however almost all our ethnic diversity have very little political or point of view difference. Generally our staffs tend to consist of liberal city dwellers with very little understanding of what life is like outside our circles.

Diversity means inclusion. Race, gender and LGBT are facets of diversity. The most important thing you can teach is that we need to accept differences and act as one.

You could also add some often ignored facets like neuro diversity(introverts, ADHD, Aspies), age, politics, national origin, etc.

HNY all! I have multiple rollover and traditional IRAs, as well as a solo 401k. But (since I started paying attention to this kind of thing) have always been over the income limit to start a Roth IRA. I’ve also not done much contributing in the last few years due to purchasing an apartment and saving for renovations. Cue pandemic joblessness... if married filing separately, would you say it’s a good idea to start a Roth while under the income limit, even in this climate? Any reason not to?
