Episode Synopsis

In the midst of all that has been happening in our country in the past few weeks, I've been hearing a lot of people ask the question, "What can I do?"  I think the answer to this question does depend a bit on who we are, where we are, our level of privilege and power, our background and identity, our experience, and more.  And, even with all of these variables and the intensity of this moment, on this episode I share some thoughts and ideas about how we can be a positive force for change in our country and our world right now - by listening/learning, speaking up, supporting people and organizations doing important work, and being willing to make mistakes.
