[VD: Montage video including multiple diverse Wells Fargo employees and accompanying b-roll overlayed on the screen as they speak. Open captions and subtitles populate at the bottom of the screen.] Transcript: I would encourage the conversation to be focused on abilities and what the person can do. When I joined this great institution at Wells Fargo one thing stuck out to me and in that was a phrase, bring your true self to work. I’m a published writer i have a graduate degree, but because of something I can’t help, I was at the point where I was failing to keep down part-time jobs. I know personally what it involves to get education and get jobs in a workforce that may not be the most receptive. I made friends from the interview process from the get-go because I was able to have that level of individuality. This firm has a humanity that I don’t think many people know about. I’ve had an opportunity to have worked on a number of initiatives, focused on helping to improve and increase diversity in the workplace, particularly within the disability segment. I realized the importance of bringing my full self to work and I started to disclose my lifelong learning disabilities. At Wells Fargo, we’re a lot more of a team-based. It was empowering to earn my own independence, I can contribute to society and I can follow my own dreams. Wells Fargo gave me a career and it’s not a chance I would've had otherwise and I’m not going to forget.
