In this spoken monologue, the speaker (presumably Brenda Minge, a trauma therapist) emphasizes the importance of accepting people for who they truly are, rather than imposing expectations. She reflects emotionally on the power of diversity, describing a fictional group of children living in New York—a cultural melting‑pot of nations, religions, cultures, and abilities. The narrative does not fix an age, allowing any child to relate. Among the children, a one‑legged girl is highlighted as the fastest runner in school, illustrating that physical challenges do not limit achievement, and an autistic child is mentioned, underscoring neurodiversity. The speaker’s tone is compassionate and hopeful, using vivid examples to convey that stories of resilience and acceptance can inspire children to embrace differences and overcome obstacles.

And I think diversity is so important to accept each other for who we are, not who you want somebody to be or wish they were. Accept them for who they are as they are. Now, when I talk about this, I'll tell you right now, I get teary because it just gets me. So it's about a group of children. I don't specify the age because you can make that age whatever you want it to be. And these kids live in New York, which is A melting pot of nations. They're from all over the world, all different religions, cultures, ethnicities. Some have physical challenges. I have, let's see, one little girl in the book only has one leg, but she's the fastest runner in the school. And kids embrace that because they know the stories. Yes. Nothing's going to stop them when they face a challenge. Another child is autistic.
