What do you value in your space and how do values guide your practice?

April 19, 2020

I was just going to say that that is the ideal place to do it, because I think just biologically and whatever, when you're younger, you are more naturally a change agent, and have a better sense of vision, and have a longer time to be invested in the future, so that's actually the perfect place to be doing what you just said, Falami, is in schools, because that's where you've got this nexus of brilliance, and vision, and investment in 100 years from now or whatever. Not that we all can't be part of it, but you've got a nice concentration of people who are especially suited to creating that vision, and that change, and partnership with us elders.
