To me, an inclusive culture means everyone is treated with equality and respect, with no bias or stereotyping against an individual's race, gender, sexual orientation, age, or disability.

I am a first-generation immigrant, and my story is probably a bit different from most immigrant stories you've heard in the past. After I earned my master's degree from Northwestern University, I was not planning to stay in the United States. The plan was to go back to my comfortable, elite lifestyle back home in Taipei, Taiwan. However, the individualism that the US culture represents enticed me to stay longer.
