Did you know that one of the core values of Yoke and Abundance is Diversity and Inclusion? It is, which is why I’m a sponsor of Social Design’s “Bloom Inclusion: Innovative Solutions for Inclusion Seminar”. I’ll be capturing the day as a Creative Cultivaor and I hope you’ll follow along. What do you most want to know about diversity and inclusion?

Personally, I’ve curdled on the inside trying to answer the question “and what do you do” at networking events and social functions in the past.  I’ve stood there like a deer in headlights thinking, “I’m so much more than what I do, how can I tell you who I am?”

“Never stop wanting more. Always put yourself out there and learn new things. Continue to be an individual and don’t change who you are for anyone. “

It turns out this corduroy jacket can talk, maybe not in words but I’m getting it’s message. I think my dad still has a lot to teach me, but from now on he’s speaking in a different language.

“Be fearless in your pursuit. Don’t let anyone or anything stop you from what you want to achieve.”
