We are forgetting for true connection to occur, we have to take the time to create depth in our relationships.

An annoying conversation with my dad at 14 over a basketball game, still anchors how I work through stuff today.

Building connective tissue between different groups, people, and communities is how we navigate our way into a better situation.

So much of life is navigate situations that are the same, yet different. Learning how to stay hopeful and have a vision for life.
