Dear friends and followers,
I'm moving my social media focus to linkedin. For now at least, it's yielding more meaningful engagement with less less noise.

My parents have been students, civil rights activists, entrepreneurs and community leaders. But always, first and foremost, there for each other.
Happy anniversary George and Rochel.

And a strong recommendation of @AAAJ_AAJC and @iHollaback Bystander Intervention training, to do better.
Amen

Is this our biggest problem? @andrewrsorkin is at his - and our - best when bringing daring new thinking as he has on Covid economic relief.

Straight out of the box, the new WTO chief @NOIweala puts the organization on the front line of change. Clearly correct.
This is really an outstanding line up on this topic
