Ms. Sasot is a terrific speaker. I'm so glad she was able to travel to the UN to represent us. A human face often wins hearts in ways that words alone do not.
In the first post is a link to the transcript of her speech, but I couldn't get it to work. Transgriot has a copy of it so I will post a link to sites, just in case one of them go down.

Now is the time that we realize that diversity does not diminish our humanity, that respecting diversity does not make us less human, that understanding and accepting our differences does not make us cruel. And in fact, history has shown us that denying and rejecting human variability is the one that has led us to inflicting indignity upon indignity towards each other.
Good stuff
