Quotables
“If you want to live a life of abundance, help more people live in abundance.”
How to be an ally:
- Have difficult conversations with a person of color who you are close to. If you do not have a close friend who is also a person of color, that speaks volumes.
- Know your intent and slowly develop your relationship with that individual.
- Change only comes from those who are open to it.
- Show up genuine and with humbleness.
