Infrequently Asked Questions

What’s one thing you love about yourself? Have you always?

I consider myself to be a very kind, compassionate and empathetic person and very glad and proud to have these traits. These traits help me to get along with other individuals, understand others, be open to differences, ideas, perspectives and have empathy. I don’t think there is anything kindness, compassion and empathy cannot solve.

Do you think people can really change?

I do believe people can really change however, there has to be desire for that change. Along with desire, there has to be conscious effort to make that change and a motivation from within to change. Once we have the desire and motivation there are lots of tools, tricks and tips we have access to that can help us in the change we want to see.

What are you currently working through that others can’t see?

I am constantly working on learning about others; people who are different than me, different races, genders, ethnicities, lifestyles, sexual orientations, age groups, the perspectives they have, experiences they have, etc. so I can be better informed, understand them better and be a better DEI practitioner, ally and champion.
