Some key takeaways from this episode include:

We need to lead with compassion and empathy. So much of the current political climate in America stems from a lack of compassion and empathy, but we can make strides to change that simply by modeling it. 

Using your voice is another way to encourage change in your community and beyond. Share your expertise loudly and proudly, especially if you’re in a field where misinformation (and disinformation) are running rampant.

White patriarchy is still alive and well, and it influences so many of our public institutions. So much of what we learn about patriarchy and race begins at home. How are you talking to your kids about roles and race? (Lucretia has amazing resources for this!)
