Key Questions for Leaders to Consider:
Memorable Quotes:
“Why do we have people holding power who hurt people all the time? And what I assert is that our inability to process in a healthy way, that which formed us.”— Jerry Colonna
“Our inability to turn around and confront the demons, instead of just running from the demons, ends up hurting people who have less power.” — Jerry Colonna
“Until all humans feel love, safety, and most important, belonging, then you are not leading anything. You are not utilizing your power. You are not making a difference in the world.” — Jerry Colonna
“Whether it’s a transgender woman, a black EMT worker, or a 16-year-old boy, these incidents are all rooted in this profound fear of someone who is not like me. It’s all connected, and it’s all in service to a mindset that has given expression in colonization and extractive capitalism, exploitation of other human beings.”— Jerry Colonna
“If we’re not living out this lifestyle of cultivating what’s been untold, if the stories that we’re sitting with are not intergenerational, not intersectional, not representing different experiences in this journey of reunion, then we’re not really in for it.” — Marshall Pollard
