Today I got to facilitate a training for aspiring facilitators - specifically those who want to have deeper conversations about diversity, equity, and inclusion with their colleagues. Here's an action shot from a #designthinking activity where they brainstormed how to address a specific DEI challenge. #facilitating #facilitator #training #diversity #equity #inclusion #dei #stanford #design #thinking #justice #joy

Me at 15, rocking overalls and a smile, because timeless style is timeless. Also @kat_troyer34 is and has always been a gotdamn goddess. #friends #friendship #goals #jrprom #overalls #2000 #homestead #highschool #throwback #thisisanactualphotograph

My dad says hi to me through these flowers in @annakdangelo's front yard. I just miss this guy, and wish he could be here to share in my excitement about [secret projects]. I believe his spirit is present, but I long to hug him. #grief #reflection #spring #flowers #yellow #rose #dad #papasan

"First, I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season." Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection." #mlk #letterfromabirminghamjail #rearview #wisdom #oakland #thetown

#fbf: The @radicalmonarchs documentary "We Are The Radical Monarchs" gave me hope for what happens when we center black and brown girls in our communities and movements. Their leadership will move mountains (it already is!). #radicalmonarchs #radical #education #organizing #justice #advocacy #girls #women #oakland
