@NOIweala is an inspiration. In late 2019 I saw her pause her busy day to speak with young African agripreneurs my team was supporting, offering guidance for their journeys. This among many other moments of humble leadership. Thrilled to see her poised to lead the @wto.

So grateful to my dear friends @JustinZorn and @Ben_Beachy for this @HarvardBiz article. Vital, timely and practical recommendations on "how to pursue genuine thriving rather than growth for its own sake" ... bravo! https://t.co/uZn4LdraZY

The art of rewriting an entire narrative is rare - but #CicelyTyson did so. She infused film with the power of transfiguration, showing black women, marginalized women, underestimated women in their abundant glory. And the world will never be the same. God’s rest to you, madam.

[Lorin Fries @lorinfries]

Looking forward to this. @allwecansave is excellent & essential.

[Lorin Fries @lorinfries]
