In this conversation we talk about:

\n

- Bravery in the context of racial unrest

\n

- Bravery = vulnerability

\n

- The cocktail for humanity is empathy + compassion + vulnerability + bravery + courage

\n

- Give the grace and open mind and decide to be the change you are seeking

\n

- There\u2019s always room for empathy; take the time to find it for yourself and for others

\n

- Notice the red flag of judgement and let go of those judgements

\n

- Ground yourself in the essence of not knowing what\u2019s going on for that other person

\n

- Be wiling to step in and lean in while also knowing when and how to set boundaries
