Only when diverse perspectives are included, respected, and valued can we start to get a full picture of the world: who we serve, what they need, and how to successfully meet people where they are. Listen, learn, unlearn, know when to lead, and know when to let others lead.

“when one writes well; it retains no ideology, perhaps a symphony of sound, sounds that cluttered words make, building stories via communication” — @AnnaRozwadowsk6 link.medium.com/INVz1kTtF0 #WritingCommunity #Poem #PoetryCommunity

The sad thing I realized after researching the police violence in Boston Saturday all day -- watching video after video, frame by frame -- was that every instance of pepper spray was either directly from or instigated by *Exactly One Officer*.
are you telling me that even with one trillion cops from every jurisdiction in the state out there that day, THE SAME COP PEPPER SPRAYED ME TWO TIMES HOURS AND BLOCKS APART? what the hell is his problem.
