When I was training folks in the workforce development sector to be both connected with *and* helpful to their customers, I used a slightly longer version: 'People won't remember what you said or did, but they'll *always* remember how you made them feel.'
I always think about the maya Angelou quote because it’s really true,
“People will always remember how you made them feel,"
“People will always remember how you made them feel,"

ICE’s occupation in Memphis, the largest Black-majority city in the country, has reshaped daily life, keeping kids out of school and parents from work, turning grocery shopping into a mission that risks one’s family being torn apart.

This is VERY high up on my list of things we need to do better in 2026: Find a way to use the Admin's claim they oppose antisemitism to impose a cost for the antisemitism they routinely push out.
