Special Session: Pull Up How You Pull Up

Did you ever think we’d be in the middle of a global pandemic AND global protesting for Black lives in the year 2020? 

As of late, I’ve spent countless hours thinking to myself just how much this feels like a few pages out of a history book. Like… How is this even real? One of these days all of what is happening now WILL be a few pages in a history book, and it’ll be quite a story to tell.

Until then, here’s what I know about it…
It’s heavy. 
It’s overwhelming. 
It’s confusing. 
It’s scary. 
It’s heartbreaking. 
It’s unfair.
It’s insane. 
It’s shocking.
Most of all… it’s EXHAUSTING AS HELL.

Yet, in the midst of all that’s happening, one of the things that we can do is simply take a moment to process and make meaning for ourselves about what’s taking place. Once we’ve had a moment to gather ourselves, we must take the time to figure out how we want to move forward in doing the work to move our people and the world forward. The most important thing, however, is that you show up in a way that makes sense to you so that your work is most impactful–you’ve got to pull up how you pull up!
