We cannot expect everyone to enroll in a statistics course, yet we often do. We associate data with statistics, degrees, and an elite status, forgetting that data should be a force for good, not just for someone else's gain.

By doing so, we exclude many people from our circles, create unwelcoming environments, and fail to see individuals for who they are, only for who they are not.

I want to reintroduce you to data as a force that can bring hope, kindness, and community. Data is for everyone, not just a chosen few.
