AMICA - Your DEI Buddy

Introducing our new mascot, AMICA! Derived from the Latin word for “friend,” AMICA embodies qualities we all hold dear: groundedness, patience, beauty, imperfection, and uniqueness. Much like each one of us, AMICA is a distinctive representation of individuality. Inspired by the Chimera butterfly species, AMICA boasts asymmetrical wings, with each side colored differently. These butterflies, known for their rarity, are non-binary and serve as a testament to the beauty in diversity and imperfection.

Furthermore, AMICA draws inspiration from the Butterfly Effect, a fascinating concept that suggests minor events can have non-linear impacts on complex systems. Just think: if every individual recognized their unique potential, celebrated diversity, and communicated empathetically, our world could transform into a harmonious, equitable, and creative haven.

Let’s celebrate diversity, embrace our individuality, and remember that we should never feel caged. Join us in spreading love, acceptance, and positive change with AMICA by your side.
