Nathan Sauramba shares his thoughts and experiences as part of 100 Voices: #AllAgainstRacism.

Nathan Sauramba
CEO, Waverton Corp

Isn’t it funny how we are all born on this large floating and spinning sphere filled with land, sea, mountains and life - yet we all experience life in different ways? Isn’t it funny how we all have the same 24 hours in a day but we all don’t spend it the same? Isn’t it funny how we are all made up of the same atomic matter, but look at each other so differently? Why is that? Why are we so fixated on race, gender, sexuality, ethnic backgrounds, religion, class and prejudices when we are all the same?
