MENSA

I have a friend who is a Mensa. Years ago when she first told me about Mensa, she had a way of describing the organization. She said if you have a room full of Mensa members, you will have as many opinions in the room as the number of people, that’s a Mensa. I started to wonder if they were colored or white, short or tall, thin or fat, professional or stay at home. I am a strong supporter of diversity I have wondered how it would fit with the diversity strategy at most corporations.

We are always confusing diversity with equal opportunity? Why do we track them by race, gender? What is diversity really?
