Ambassador Shapiro hosted Distinguished American Speaker Meg Zucker, creator of website and blog “Don’t Hide It, Flaunt It” for an inspirational discussion on celebrating differences, on February 20. Meg has been an advocate for all people  with differences, helping them to “flaunt” rather than conceal that which makes them unique. As she said, “The things that make me different, make me…me.” 
Ambassador Shapiro introduced the program by focusing on the importance of building a more perfect union: “We as a society are stronger when we celebrate each other’s’ differences, whatever they may be.” AKIM–Givatayim, a branch of the National Association for the Habilitation of People with Intellectual Disabilities, presented a small art exhibition for the event, as well as songs of optimism and hope from three singers from AKIM–Moadon Reut.
