“It's really important to remember global context. I'm sitting here in Northwest Europe, where a lot of companies are putting money and time and effort towards diversity, equity, inclusion, belonging, justice. But there are a lot of parts of the world where we are still fighting for, ‘the basics’, equality; we haven't reached the point of equity yet.” - Annelie Wambeek
