Back in 2015, I worked with a life/career coach to figure out what to do with my life.
It was the best decision I ever made.
We were making progress around the "nature" of work I should get back to (social justice, equity, etc.), but we hadn't talked much about what "specific" work I might do. In other words, what people would pay me for.
I was kind of concerned about that.
She said, "Don't worry about it. If money wasn't a thing, what would you do all day?"
I said, "That's easy, I'd sit around and talk with people."
She said, "Go do that!"
And so I did. And so I do.
I have thousands of conversations a year with all kinds of people. I facilitate discussions, I coach one-on-one, I speak, I moderate panels, I strategize with clients.
And I get interviewed on podcasts.
Like Bruce Langford's Mindfulness Mode.
Talking with Bruce about the interconnectedness of mindfulness and racial justice was one of the best, most fluid and equanimous conversations I had in 2021.
I'm grateful for the opportunity to spread my important message to Bruce's listeners.
And to all of you.
Especially if you're new to antiracism and racial justice work.
Here's the thing: if you're going to drive impact and effect change, you must be in committed for the long haul.
Mindfulness helps us do that.
Thanks for doing the work.
