Can adversity inspire diversity?

摘要

Last week I attended a diversity event hosted by scaffolding specialist Trad, which featured celebrity author, motivational speaker and charity campaigner Katie Piper - also known as the survivor of a particularly horrific acid attack. I can't say I knew much about Ms Piper's life story before attending the event, but I was greatly moved by her speech - as were others, judging from the rousing applause she received. It's hard to grasp how much courage she has had to summon, to rebuild her life after the attack.
