// thoughts on leadership
(a thread)

When I lead, I know that the easy thing to do is a make a plan & ask everyone to follow it—to look for people who like my ideas & will implement them.

But that’s not consistent with being anti-racist, equitable, & inclusive.

@Utterly_Tim @john_c_ @glbaumann @paljodasch @HoekstraTweets @areyousurebruv @kytmuisco @ChasePadusniak I’m not used to paying for podcasts, but I’d consider it for you! Varied content is fine, but I 🫶🏼 a strong brand/perspective.

It's so strange to me how much people in this country love pets and advocate for animal rescue....but so many landlords vehemently won't allow it + are supported by the law.

Can we start using this as fun/easy way to explain systemic oppression to people?

I never thought the mainstream would ever know about #IBLP and #BillGothard. I think I need to write my story. Growing up in the program, #homeschooling, #JoshuaGeneration, attending #JourneyToTheHeart, etc.

What are your burning questions? Why would you want to read about it?

[Hope Chávez @_hopechavez]

That part👇🏼. We are not exempt from white supremacist ideology. This is why we need accountability spaces within our community. And more conversations about our own anti-Blackness and internalized racism.

(Cue white Latiné folks with commentary about being “RACIALIZED.”)

"The idea that a Hispanic American could be a white supremacist may seem confounding to those wedded to the idea that racial identity is both a biological fact and fixed throughout time," @adamserwer writes. "But neither is true." https://t.co/qPgOIJNSlT

Me today:

I have a radical and simple opinion. We should be *running* meetings…but no one does.

I miss this program so much!! These teens taught me lessons no grad school ever would.

[Hope Chávez @_hopechavez]

I don’t even have the energy to pop off about “Cinco de Mayo.” That’s how tired I am. 🌮

I gave you a chance to deliver.

No it’s my turn.

Cliche or not, this is my new anthem. https://t.co/w3KwcPpiOK

I am brave enough to dream big.

I ain’t afraid to walk away from more profit ‘cause I’d rather do something that I really love and take the pay cut.

I will never waiver or change who I am just to try and gain some credibility to feel accepted by by a stranger.
