Practice being present in the moment more often. If for no other reason than to stop cycling through the automated systems over and over again b/c you weren't paying attention to which number to press.
Your 1st attempt, launch, design, proposal, client, presentation, etc is not an assessment of whether you're a failure or a success.
It's just information gathering on what worked and what didn't. (Spoiler alert: so is every attempt after that).
Allyship and a desire for justice isn't about taking attendance. It's about showing up period. We are responsible for how WE show up, not how others do. Period.
"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly." - MLK, Jr
