I value autonomy within community and am, therefore, an inclusive businessperson. I do not discriminate based on race, ethnicity, country of origin, age, marital status, disability, religious or political affiliation, gender identity, or sexual orientation in any of my activities or operations.

Therefore, we place the wellbeing of readers in the forefront of our minds and agree to focus our efforts on educating and empowering them.
