Love this! I think that is a solid strategy in becoming more articulate! 😎

I’m so excited for this! I should be able to join again tonight!! 🤞🏻 See you then!

Thanks for the feedback you gave on this topic. I brought my notes from here to the planning meeting and leaned into the piece of just start with planning something small. To just plan it asap and execute! Last night the dream came to life and the “Break the Stigma; Black and White Ball” came to life! A fundraising event for mental health programs built around dance. It was super fun and we plan to make it bigger next year!

@Tunji Adebayo there was a photographer, so we will see what he sends 😊

This concept is something I had to learn years ago for my work. It’s a slightly different angle of this idea. When working with people who require specialized support to learn new skills, one needs this ability to trust the process without being attached to the outcome. Some children learn quickly and it’s so heartwarming and rewarding to be a part of their growth process. However, some will move very slowly, sometimes seemingly not at all. That can be hard. In my field, people burn out when they are attached to the outcome. If they can only work with the fast learners and need that feedback, (ie- attached to the outcome) then they really struggle when they have to work with kids that don’t have consistently measurable growth. After 15 years in the field, I have seen all sorts of children. And they WILL all learn. I know that. I trust the process. I also know they will all learn at different rates. And that’s ok. My job is just to connect, be super engaging and provide opportunities for learning. Whatever happens after that, is what will happen. 🙏 Thank you
