When corona virus doesn't have a hold on the fear of the world, politics, war, or tragedy does. We have not only forgotten that we belong to one another, we have forgotten that we matter and have a place in this world. We can begin to change this narrative by discussing ways to overcome our life's barriers and rediscover our shared humanity.
I was destined early on to “save the world”. I started my first business in college (right before the economy crashed) and a non-profit. 7 years into it, I’m consulting for some of the largest companies in the world and the palpable success made me believe, for a moment, that I just might make a dent.
Within a 3-month period in 2016, my health collapses, my businesses shut down, and I find myself penniless. With all of my social programs gone, my worth and ability to change this world came crashing into question. There’s nothing like “losing it all” that gives you the opportunity to wake up and examine what’s really important in life.
With a country in shambles and politics that rule the day, I’m setting out to start new conversations with a challenging narrative yet a simple message; when we can find our shared humanity once more, we will all do better, collectively.
