"Healing ourselves and our communities is not a finite event. It is a practice...an ongoing experience in which we have infinite opportunities for multiple layers of transformation.
Each of us is but a small drop of water in an endless ocean. But together, we can make waves and create lasting change.
I AM because WE ARE. Ase.”
