I wish people understood the role of non-profits in our society. Sadly, everyone I know who has spent any time in the sector is seeing the same thing. We are all at risk of not being here in 10-20 years due to the shifts.

If you wished to be remembered with love and respect, live a life of love and respect that's universally known and respected. Otherwise, no one should be surprised when the people you harmed while alive don't feel your death absolves you of the harm you caused.

It's a high honor as an anti racist writer/speaker/activist to make it on the radar of the Libs of Tik Tok. Let's see, I've been posted on Gab this year, and I had the pathetic head of a New England White supremacist group contact me directly. Now I'm targeted by the Libs of Tik Tok.

How much we have to change ourselves to make everyone else comfortable at work. Whether it’s tone, delivery, taking on extra tasks to make others feel like we are team players, etc.

Many people struggle with feeling guilty about resting or taking pleasure in life when the world is a shitshow. I believe rest and self care are vital to movement work. Read my latest on the blog.
