Someone asked me yesterday, when I close my eyes, where do you I see my self in ten years. I had such a difficult time answering that. I am 41 years old now, and based on my family history, that will be fairly close to the last few years of my life. I am actively working against my family statistics, and genetics, but I answered honestly. I see my self helping people understand what inclusion truly means.

Simply put, we are all doing the best we can with the information we have and choose to believe. I hope to give people a glimpse into what inclusion looks like when you consider the facts of humanness. We are all inhabitants of this world, trying to survive. Bias, hate, hierarchy, and inequity create shorter life spans, and unhappiness. I do not think I will live in a world without those things, but I really hope to be the catalyst of the change humanity needs.

Similar to the Zinnia blooming on my balcony, these ideas are new and just starting to blossom.
