Here at Commvault, we believe that celebrating diversity and amplifying voices from various backgrounds fosters a richer, more inclusive environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month across our global Vaulter community, our Multi-Culture and Women in Technology Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) hosted an insightful and inspiring virtual event featuring acclaimed author Patricia Engel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Patricia, a New York Times<\/em> bestselling author, graced our Vaulter community with a keynote address that highlighted how her Colombian heritage and culture have shaped her worldview and influenced her celebrated writing career. Patricia treated us to a reading from her latest book, The Faraway World<\/em>, a captivating collection of stories that explore the themes of belonging, migration, and identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n During the conversation, Patricia shared deeply personal reflections on her experiences growing up in a bicultural household in New Jersey. She discussed how the contrasts between her Colombian upbringing at home and American society outside shaped both her perspective and her writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Patricia emphasized the significance of her immigrant community as a source of resilience and inspiration, touching on the complexities of identity, belonging, and the sacrifices made by those who leave their homeland in pursuit of a better future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This event was a testament to Commvault\u2019s commitment to creating spaces where different cultures, identities, and perspectives are celebrated. The discussion provided our Vaulters with a powerful perspective on how heritage can influence both personal and professional paths. Through thought-provoking discussions like these, we continue to promote understanding, appreciation, and inclusion within our community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hispanic Heritage Month reminds us of the power of storytelling to build connections and bridge gaps. It was a privilege to hear about Patricia\u2019s journey, and we are proud to have created an opportunity for our global Vaulter community to engage with such an impactful voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
