In every aspect of life, both personal and professional, I’ve tried to embody the resilience of the Lotus flower: learning to accept when the body and mind crave transformation, when the spirit calls for movement I wasn’t ready to take but was willing to explore, ascending step by step. #film

In-person conversations! Civic dialogue surrounding polarizing topics doesn’t have to be so difficult. My common approach: splash it with humility, humor, and human dignity.
And be intentional — actively listen, call out logical fallacies, and give historical context.
