My grandfather wrote this beautiful piece of Japanese calligraphy (shodō, which means way of writing) as a gift, stating my full name and birthdate. This traditional form of art reminds me of my family origins, so brave and courageous in moving from Japan to Brazil in the pursuit of a better life. From my father side, I have Portuguese and native Brazilian roots, and this combination of unique cultures makes me who I am. In order to be an open-minded global citizen, I embrace this diversity that allows me to see the world from different perspectives, adapting to every situation and group of people that I work with. #Diversity #GuestEditor #Roots

Paella...Hmmm. It is part of my heritage and cannot be absent on our table when we celebrate with family, share with friends or make new friends. But what makes it so delicious? The diversity! There is not one single recipe, there are plenty of possibilities or variants simply by blending different ingredients. It is the mixture and the combination of different flavors that create unique taste experiences. Likewise, companies resemble a paella and people are the ingredients. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Paella... Hmmm. Es parte de mi cultura y herencia y por supuesto no puede estar ausente en nuestra mesa cuando celebramos con la familia, compartimos con amigos o hacemos nuevos amigos. ¿Pero qué la hace tan deliciosa? ¡La diversidad! No hay una sola receta, hay un montón de posibilidades o variantes simplemente mezclando diferentes ingredientes. Es la mezcla y la combinación de diferentes sabores los que crean experiencias unicas en nuestro paladar. Del mismo modo, las empresas son como una paella y la gente son los ingredientes. #HumanChemistry #Vielfalt #Möglichkeiten #diversity #GuestEditor #PerformanceAndDrive #possibilities #Freunde #heritage #herencia #diversidad #friends #Paella #uniqueness
