Benefits of the Sun Poem: This poem has the ability to change self-awareness around diversity. Quoting Dr. Abraham Maslow, “what is necessary to change a person is to change his awareness of himself.”  That is exactly what this poem is designed to do.  It engages the reader to stop and think about how he/she responds to differences in people. Personal stories have been shared with me of how individuals were profoundly changed by the poem.  

The Sun poem can be printed on items that can be used everyday such as a magnet, bookmarker, sticky notes, magnetic memo pad and mugs.  These items can serve as a friendly diversity tool to help us become more self-aware as we engage with diversity.  In the past two years these tools have been introduced to schools and universities across the US. Now they’re in 49 states. Slowly companies are embracing it. Consider it for your employees, it’s simple and it can produce change.
