“Change is not something that we should fear. Rather, it is something that we should welcome. For without change, nothing in this world would ever grow or blossom, and no one in this world would ever move forward to become the person they’re meant to be.” – B.K.S. Iyengar
Years from now when you reflect back on the world changing storm that was 2020, did you:
— ACCEPT change
— CREATE change
— RESIST change
The key to the societal change so many of us hope to see is new information piercing the bubbles we live in. Racism is real, alive, and prevelant. For the first time in years, EVERYONE is talking about it.
In the spirit of the times, I decided to create this list to help us ALL better ACCEPT and CREATE the CHANGE we want to see!
