I’ve been asking myself: what kind of future are we building if healing isn’t at the center?
I’m very excited about the Healing-Centered Futures Summit (Oct 3–4). We’ll bring people together across education, business & tech to explore a new way forward.

So grateful to be in community to talk about poetry, love, and peace in a time when it feels like a luxury to do so, and then I remember Audre Lorde's (@audrelordeproject) powerful words:
"Poetry is not a luxury. It is a vital necessity of our existence."
"Poetry is not a luxury. It is a vital necessity of our existence."
