Can You Solve the Riddle?

Is gender equality in the workplace still an issue? MINDSPACE ran an experiment with 22 people, all trying to solve the same riddle, and recorded their surprised responses. Click the video below to find out the answer!

Imagine a gender equal world. A world free of bias, stereotypes, and discrimination. A world that's diverse, equitable, and inclusive. A world where difference is valued and celebrated. Together we can forge women's equality. Collectively we can all #EmbraceEquity.

In 1991 the U.S. Congress designated March as Irish American Heritage Month. Originally a religious holiday to honor St. Patrick, who introduced Christianity to Ireland in the 5th century, St. Patrick’s Day has evolved into a celebration of all things Irish.

 

 

 

Every year, San Francisco is home to one of the largest Saint Patrick's Day celebrations in the world. The parade draws more than 100,000 people.

The 2023 event date is March 11.

The parade starts at 2nd and Market Street, then makes its way down Market to the Civic Center Plaza, the location of the festival. The parade starts around 11:30 am and lasts about two hours.

 
 

On March 31st we celebrate the birth and legacy of the civil rights and labor movement activist, Cesar Chavez

Below are a few memorable quotes:

 

"To make a great dream come true, the first requirement is a great capacity to dream; the second is persistence"

 

"Preservation of one’s own culture does not require contempt or disrespect for other cultures.”

 

“From the depth of need an despair, people can work together, can organize themselves to solve their own problems and fill their own needs with dignity and strength.”

 

“There’s no turning back … we will win. We are winning because ours is a revolution of mind and heart.”

 

“Self dedication is a spiritual experience.”

 

“We cannot seek achievement for ourselves and forget about progress and prosperity for our community.”
