Our Mission: To awaken the world to the
wonders of all of our beautiful differences. To spread the awareness that all
of us are the same in our desires for a good home, food, safety and the comfort
of being accepted regardless of appearance and/or beliefs. With that awareness
comes the joy of embracing all that others different from ourselves have to
offer us in endless numbers of ways!
Who are we?
Dr. Leo Parvis, a Christian Persian Democrat, teaches cultural diversity at Dunwoody College of Technology. He serves on the Board of the League of Minnesota Human Rights Commissions, and the Chaska (Minnesota) Human Rights Commission. Dr. Parvis is a member of the National Association of Multicultural Education, the National Association of Ethnic Studies, and the International Leadership Institute. He is a diversity consultant, speaker, published author, and writer, currently working on diversity curriculum for various age levels.
Julie K. Parvis, is an award-winning marketing diva and writer who is an overweight Lutheran Democrat, with a Scandinavian, Native American, Basque, Irish, English (and probably more!) background with a life full of an amazing array of diverse friends and family.
We decided it was time to get serious about our strong beliefs in the power of embracing diversity and take action. Our backgrounds in education and marketing, led to the development of the "Embrace Diversity" logo, "diversitypromotions.co," and "National Diversity Day." Our hope is that our logo will become the international symbol of embracing differences in our multicultural society. With this symbol to communicate diversity, we are in the process of expanding our product line of T-shirts, lapel pins, mugs, decals, temporary tattoos, etc. so that organizations, corporations, and individuals will be able to spread the word:
"Embrace Diversity, Embrace our World!"
