Hey Fritz,
I really appreciate how open and honest you are about your PLN. I think self-awareness is a great start to building a more diverse and inclusive social connection/ relationship with others. Similar to you, I’d like to think my PLN is diverse, but I have also grown up an environment where many of the people I’m connected with are within the same socio-economic class so there weren’t many opportunities for me to be truly exposed to differing perspectives.
Personally, a lot of the unique relationships I’ve fostered has also been through meeting people at UVic or volunteering. I currently volunteer for the UVic Global Community Program and find it to be a good opportunity to meet people and interact with others from different places and learn about varying cultures.
Thank you for sharing!
Sincerely,
Kathy
