In this conversation we talk about:

- Bravery in the context of racial unrest

- Bravery = vulnerability

- The cocktail for humanity is empathy + compassion + vulnerability + bravery + courage

- Give the grace and open mind and decide to be the change you are seeking

- There’s always room for empathy; take the time to find it for yourself and for others

- Notice the red flag of judgement and let go of those judgements

- Ground yourself in the essence of not knowing what’s going on for that other person

- Be wiling to step in and lean in while also knowing when and how to set boundaries
