What irony to be a mom walking around the farmers market with a MAGA hat with her daughter wearing a girl power tshirt.

Not so gentle reminder that “transgender ideology” isn’t a thing - it’s a way of negating the existence of trans people

Autism doesn't destroy families. Stigma, discrimination, and being victims of violence 'destroys' families. Financial insecurity, isolation, lack of support, limited resources 'destroys' families. Divisive policies, ignorant politicians, and facism 'destroys' families.

I’m flying home after an incredible day offering a keynote on trauma-informed leadership. I’m in tears as I board listening to Sen Booker talk about Alzheimer's as my mom with Alzheimer's calls me & knowing research & support have been cut today for a disease I may have one day.

Just so I understand this correctly: I’m not allowed to use words like trauma, inclusive, diversity or equity but they can have insecure group chats about war plans?

Whomever is advising the Democrats right now is criminally bad at their job. The notion that they can meme their way out of fascism is truly incredible.

It’s “shameful and egregious” and “disgraced the institution of Congress” for Rep. Al Green to speak out against Medicaid cuts but not for Republicans like Mike Johnson who supported January 6th.

A weekend in the city with my best friends enjoying little treats and sunshine and laughing until we cry and loving on each other and talking about literally everything but mostly how to support each other forever is the healing balm I needed right now.

Trauma can be seen as too much, too fast, too soon-an overwhelm to our system. To counteract this, we need to practice the pause and pace ourselves.

I’m seeing so many people obey in advance especially around trans erasure and weaponizing DEI. Now is the time for courage not cowardice. Say diversity. Say inclusion. Say equity. Say trauma informed. Share/ask for pronouns. Now’s the time to root in our values & lead them out loud.

Trauma 101: trauma is not the event or environment but our response to events/environments. Some events/environments will be inherently traumatic due to the nature of what it is. This expands our understanding that most if not all people have or will experience trauma.

That palpable feeling of exhaustion, looming uncertainties, mounting moral injury, fast pace demoralization unfolding on our screens and in our streets. It's not an overreaction, it's collective trauma.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Understand, the mass rollback on DEI is a test. We are being tested to see just how much we’ll allow corporations and our government lean into discrimination. They won’t stop at DEI initiatives.

There are no business risks for focusing on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). In fact, it’s actually incredibly beneficial and even profitable. The real business risk is maintaining boards & leaders who cling so tightly to their whiteness & fictitious belief about power.
