  If the elaboration (1) is connected to your background or upbringing and (2) does not involve bland recitations of your duties and accomplishments, then I don't see why not. Otherwise, I'm inclined to say no.

  As long as you did not discuss them in your personal statement, you can put them in your DS.

  As a side note, probably 70-80 percent of applicants should not include a diversity statement. Unless you have a truly diverse background you shouldn't write one. A hacked together diversity statement will be seen as disingenuous.

  @FixedDice Thank you, I appreciate it. The points I wanted to elaborate on are connected to my background and like you suggested I will avoid reciting my accomplishments.

  @Ohnoeshalpme Thank you, I appreciate it. I haven't discussed them in my PS and I understand what you mean in regards to not being seen disingenuous. I will keep that in mind.
