b'At times it might seem like our society is more divided than ever before, and while that might be the case, there are still people out there like Bureau Twist\\u2019s Sara Huang whose sole aim is to unite where we are divided and make peace where there is conflict.\\xa0\\nOn this episode of Sidewalk Talk, Traci chats with her good friend and colleague, Sara, on how exactly she does what she does as a facilitator for teams and an advocate for promoting diversity and deep democracy in the most unlikely places. During their conversation, Traci and Sara hit on everything from what deep democracy means to Sara and how to confront your inner Donald Trump to finding that necessary permission to encounter your own inner diversity and remaining your centered self in the midst of adverse circumstances.\\xa0\\nThe two wrapped up their time together by discussing how not to become the oppressor in a culture that rewards such behavior, and Sara\\u2019s wisdom for you, the Sidewalk Talk listener: tuning into the other person and putting yourself in their place. In a time fraught with division, Sara\\u2019s voice is one we all need in our lives today.\\xa0\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nEpisode Milestones\\n[00:07] Intro\\xa0\\n[01:01] Meet Sara\\xa0\\n[08:01] Sara\\u2019s take on \\u201cdeep democracy\\u201d\\xa0\\n[22:29] Permission to encounter our inner diversity\\xa0\\n[30:56] Identities we cling to\\n[38:10] Not becoming the oppressor\\xa0\\n[41:27] How Sara remains in her centered self\\xa0\\n[46:21] Sara\\u2019s wisdom for you\\xa0\\n[49:07] Outro\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nResources Mentioned\\nBureau Twist \\n\\xa0\\nStandout Quotes from the Episode\\n\\u201cWe cannot change what we don\\u2019t know.
