The courage shown by these young girls in Kabul is astounding. Standing up in defiance to the Taliban & demanding their basic human rights.

They’re fighting for all women to have the right to live freely. Don’t let them fight alone. Be their voice.

زن، زندگی، آزادی.

At various points in history, Copernicus, Galileo, and related counterparts at the time were shunned for new information regarding the cosmos.
My hope is for people and institutions to continuously practice the skill of creating space to reconcile old information with the new.

Is there something you say to yourself everyday? As in each day unfailingly.

Mine is Toni Morrison’s ‘As you enter positions of trust and power, dream a little before you think.’

Sometimes—especially before reacting—just the second part: dream a little before you think.

Politics defined: The set of activities that are associated with making decisions in groups, or other forms of power relations between individuals, such as the distribution of resources or status.

"Leaders who do not act dialogically, but insist on imposing their decisions, do not organize the people – they manipulate them. They do not liberate, nor are they liberated: they oppress."

No oppressive order could permit the oppressed to begin to question: Why?
