“As Margaret Mead said, ‘Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.’ I do believe in empowerment of the people and that we, the people can create the needed transformation with empathy, trauma healing, open eyes towards our blindspots and openness to embrace life at its fullest.”
