I’m devoting a special episode to hold space for the Defying Gravity scene in the Wicked film. Journey with me in exploring why it’s so powerful, weaving in some wisdom from the magnificent black feminist civil rights activists Audre Lorde and Maya Angelou to inspire us to see our differences as forces for social change & seek a world in which we can all flourish and rise.
