Hello Gaia!

Today is MLK Day of Service here in the USA. It's a Federal holiday to celebrate the works of civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and to remind all of us that diversity is beautiful, and equality for all people regardless of race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, age, sex, or ability is necessary for a rich, diverse, and fabulously beautiful world!

To celebrate this holiday, we wanted to have a contest! One of the things we love about our Gaia community is your diversity. Gaians come from all over the world! You are a beautiful group of humans comprised of people of all ages, races, genders, religions/belief systems, shapes and sizes, sexual orientations, and abilities!

We'd love to hear your stories of how diversity has enriched your life, and made your world a more fabulous place. In sharing your story, you will not only be able to show how beautiful we all are, but you might win a prize as well!

Read below for more contest details, and Happy MLK Day to everyone!

===========================

β€œAn individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity.”
― Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
