KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM YERUWELLE:
- Color is the denotion of how we interact with each other, especially in the US.
- Always be scanning for who is not here, who is not being included.
- Not only Black women and men being at the table, but specific indigenous voices, that’s where our power comes in to name it and bring it in.
- The recognition for all of us is weighty… there is not another person who is having the same experience as us.
- How do I work in relationship with people? I don’t have to pretend, or not show up as fully myself, but working for myself has allowed me to do that.
- Restorative justice is an indigenous process about calling people in. The point is to rebuild community.
- Starts with the position of self and then turning it outward and seeing how it interacts with others.
- When we begin to align my desires with your desires, we will both win.
- When we feel a sense of psychological safety, it will create a heightened awareness of stepping out of our comfort zone.
- The issues that people have are intricately connected to their families.
- Economics is wholly tied to every decision that has been made since the beginning of western civilization. I don’t know of a system that has been created to be equitable. If we can start from knowing that systems weren’t set up to help, then we can realize the world is actually waiting for us to recreate it.
- When it is a process that lives only in the C-suite, it isn’t real.
