Eenheid in diversiteit - Unity in diversity | Gordon Sana | TEDxHaarlem

In the heart of Surinam's dense rainforests, amidst the trials of slavery, a remarkable story of resilience and community building emerged. The Maroons, descendants of African slaves who escaped bondage, not only survived but thrived, forging communities that endure to this day. The story of Maroon communities is a testament to the power of resilience, determination, and the unbreakable bonds of community. Growing up in a Maroon household, Gordon learned early on that community building is not just a choice, but a lifeline. His culture instilled in him the profound importance of cultivating, nurturing, and sustaining communities. As a spokesperson within the Maroon community, Gordon has the privilege of representing his rich heritage and values to the world. Gordon's journey evolved into a rewarding professional career, where he assumed the role of a community manager, facilitating the connection between management or boards and employees or clients. Over the years, he has honed his skills in harmonizing diverse groups of people, fostering unity amidst differences. Now, he has focused his expertise on communities and diversity and inclusion. Through his company and commissions, he collaborates with community experts to advise organizations and companies on nurturing and strengthening their communities. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
