Personal/Professional Philosophy: Words are cheap. Feelings, circumstances and fortunes change, they even lie. What matters is doing my ethical best in the face of all of it with compassion and respect for myself, and others. I will trust that you are doing the work only you can do. I will do mine, not yours -- and together we can make our corners of the world better, for all of us. It’s a choice that demands work, not a fortunate accident.
A Favorite Book: Black Skin, White Masks, Frantz Fanon
A Favorite
Quote: “To introduce our selves to
each other is a radical act.”
— Seen on a bumper sticker
Lessons Learned: I have learned over and over again that we are living miracles. Our most hardened positions, held as unshakeable beliefs, can soften. Personal and professional growth and the ability to change is a choice that requires conscious attention.
