An Antidote to Polarization

In their ability to hold many truths, first-generation Americans are an antidote to polarization, with the potential to be visionary innovators toward a more connected world.

The Innovator & The Visionary

First-generation Americans have an innate ability to understand and acknowledge the perspectives of others—a much-needed ability in today’s world.

People with this identity provide a model for finding connection through empathy, but first-generation Americans aren’t stopping there.

Connectivists are looking for roles of even greater visibility and impact—opportunities that let creative thinking and personal perspective shine.
