Let’s invite one another in. Maybe then we can begin to fear less, to make fewer wrong assumptions, to let go of the biases and stereotypes that unnecessarily divide us. Maybe we can better embrace the ways we are the same. It’s not about being perfect. It’s not about where you get yourself in the end. There’s power in allowing yourself to be known and heard, in owning your unique story, in using your authentic voice. And there’s grace in being willing to know and hear others. this, for me, is how we become.
The closing paragraph of BECOMING by Michele Obama
REFLECTION:
Do you allow yourself to be known and heard?
Do you own your unique story?
Do you create space for others to be known and heard?
Are you BECOMING?
