"Diversity is not a new topic, but the base of our lives",

says our speaker Ali Mahlodji. With watchado.com, the internet platform he founded, he features people from all over the world - from the President to the neighbour next door, who tell in video interviews who they are, what they do and how they became where they are today. Watchado.com aims to be a career guide and encouragement for young people to follow their path.

Our speaker Anastasia Biefang is a Lieutenant Colonel in the German Armed Forces Air Force and the first openly transgender battalion commander in the German Armed Forces. For 40 years Anastasia Biefang lived as a man before she made public what she had long felt: she is a woman. This did not harm her career in the German Armed Forces.
