Throwing shade or throwing light?
One takes a little more effort than the other. While throwing shade might be more fun, it eventually runs out of energy. It’s designed to end conversations, not start them, to intimidate, not encourage. Turning on lights helps everyone.

REFLECTION:
- Examine a recent conversation. Did you throw shade or light?
- Is there a difficult conversation you need to have?
- How can you start it so it results in encouragement and opening to more dialogue and connection.
