“We are all born free and equal.” (United Nations Declaration of Human Rights, Article 1) … like two peas in a pod.

As Diverse As Two Peas In A PodCast is a platform to explore those differences, and how DEI affects each and everyone of us. Each episode tackles the challenges and struggles of being true to ourself, and aims at designing actions to become more equitable and inclusive in everything we do.
