What is PEAR?

Submitted by ricardo on

Pro-Equity Anti-Racism, or PEAR, is an innovative approach that goes beyond traditional diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts to drive systemic change, aiming to dismantle oppressive systems and promote equity in all facets of society. This approach recognizes that systems of oppression are the upstream sources of all our inequities, and therefore, addressing these systems is crucial to creating a more equitable world. Oppressive systems such as racism, sexism, classism, ableism, and heterosexism cause inequities and hurt all people.

Outside of work, I'm passionate about capturing the beauty of everyday life through photography and videography. I love documenting the small, seemingly mundane moments and turning them into lasting memories, especially when it involves time spent with family and friends. You'll often find me behind the lens, preserving those precious moments. I also enjoy staying active and exploring my surroundings on my e-bike or skateboard. These activities not only keep me active but also give me a sense of freedom and connection to my surroundings.
