In Maya Angelou’s famous poem, “Human Family,” she talks about the diverse world we live in. It is an inspiring work that ends with these words:

I note the obvious differences

between each sort and type,

but we are more alike, my friends,

than we are unalike.

We are more alike, my friends,

than we are unalike.

The Jeremiah Project is an anonymous survey based initiative that seeks to identify some of these ways we are more alike than unalike. Instead of spotlighting the things that divide us (race, culture, language, gender, sexual orientation, religious orientation), The Jeremiah Project puts the spotlight on the things that unite us (from major things like hopes and dreams or family to minor things like what keeps us awake at night, how we process important conversations, like our favourite ice cream).

You can help. You can join this important new conversation. You are invited to scan this QR code and take 20 minutes to fill out The Jeremiah Project Survey. Your voice is important. Your input is valuable. Your voice will make a difference.

We are more alike, my friends, than we are unalike

Let’s find out how.
