It’s Time To Embrace Diversity

Get ready for another inspiring episode of The Empowered Expat Woman Show, where I sit down with Martine Kalaw, a truly remarkable woman. Martine shares her adventurous story as an undocumented immigrant and stateless survivor, TEDx speaker, and published author of “The ABCs of Diversity.”

Martine takes us on a thrilling journey, recounting her experiences of becoming an undocumented, stateless person in the United States after the tragic loss of her parents. Martine’s unwavering resilience led her to become a powerful advocate for immigrants, even testifying before the U.S. Congress. She also founded Martine Kalaw Enterprises, a firm dedicated to helping organizations overcome unconscious beliefs and implicit bias through strategy development, implementation, and education.

In this thought-provoking episode, Martine shares

• some common challenges faced by foreigners and the different perceptions that can shape their experiences in a new country.
• invaluable insights on redefining identity on your own terms.
• how to embrace your uniqueness and find your own path, regardless of societal expectations or limitations.
• how to connect with not-likeminded people.
• tips for opening the eyes of others to the importance of diversity and to build bridges across cultures

Without a doubt, Martine’s captivating narrative and invaluable insights will leave you inspired, and ready to embark on your own journey with courage, compassion, and a renewed commitment to embracing diversity and multiculturalism!
