The goal of a great discussion isn't to land on the same page. It’s to explore different views.
Nods and smiles stroke your ego and close your mind. Thoughtful questions stoke your curiosity and stretch your thinking.
Consensus makes you comfortable. Dissent makes you smarter.
This is why I love social media! Been a fan of @AllistairMcCaw’s for years & only had the chance to meet him through SM & on his podcast. Finally had the pleasure of meeting him in person last night over 🍕! Great last night in Florida 🙌🏽🙌🏽☺️☺️
Because it is African Heritage Month, every day in February I will be posting about important individuals and events from African Nova Scotian history. Today I wanted to highlight George Dixon, an Africville resident who became the first Canadian boxing world champion.
Would you help me tweet this around the world?
Kindness matters
But kindness does not = justice
Civility counts
But civility is not the humane response to injustice
Justice is
Love is essential
But love is not a passive, weeping bystander
Love puts in work.

Remember when you became a teacher, & everyone told you it would be hard for a few years, but then you would just reuse everything?
They didn’t know that every night we open our past lesson plans & say, “WHAT was I thinking? Oh, NO! THIS IS ALL CRAP!”
Thank you for you brave and insightful account of this. My mother went for too long “coping” with indigestion and small abdominal pains before she saw someone and then it was too late. She us comes within 18 months. #OvarianCancer
Now that I have 100K followers, I want to talk about #OvarianCancer. Specifically my gritty story. The goal is awareness. I hope you find this narrative informative.
“I'm convinced of this: Good done anywhere is good done everywhere. For a change, start by speaking to people rather than walking by them like they're stones that don't matter. As long as you're breathing, it's never too late to do some good.”
