About Diversity Beans
Diversity Beans are jelly beans with a purposeâeach bite is a reminder that appearances can be deceiving. By challenging expectations with unpredictable flavors, they create a powerful sensory experience that mirrors how snap judgments about people can be misleading.
More than just candy, Diversity Beans are a tool to bridge dividesâsparking conversations and breaking down barriers through the simple act of sharing.
Unlike traditional jelly beans, where color always predicts flavor, Diversity Beans mix it upâeach color can have multiple flavors.
Short answer: Now is the time for tools that foster connection, not division.
Longer answer: Diversity Beans matter because they provide a tangible way to illustrate how unconscious bias works.
When people experience the surprise of an unexpected flavor, they personally feel how assumptions based on appearance can be misleading.
This sensory experience creates a natural starting point for deeper discussions about stereotyping, diversity, and inclusion.
By bridging divides through curiosity and shared experiences, Diversity Beans help break down barriers, making it easier to engage in meaningful conversations about bias in workplaces, schools, and communities.
They transform an abstract concept into something relatable, memorable, and impactfulâhelping people recognize and challenge their own assumptions in a way that feels engaging rather than confrontational.
