“I urge you all to acknowledge the class of 2024 of Gaza…that no longer exists. Students that will not be walking their stage this year and 14,000 children who will never walk a stage again.” Looks like these students understand more than Hillary Clinton.

Being asset based means seeing the possibility of what can unfold if we work with people where they are, how they are, with intention they will still be there to reap the rewards.

being annoyed is the price you pay for community. it means having guests when you'd rather be alone. it means letting someone live with you even when they get on your nerves. it means showing up for events that you'd rather not go to. it means turning the other cheek.
