I think the things that make me “inspiring” are no different than anyone else’s- to be human is to be inspiring, through storytelling and our innate ability to find, form, and enhance connections through our shared emotional experiences. Vulnerability is a superpower and to allow ourselves to be authentically “us”, is the human ability to be inspiring in our own right.

““At that moment the power of reading made itself real and clear to me. If I could see the words, then no one could control them or what I got from them.

It was a completely private affair and completely free and, therefore, completely subversive.” – Percival Everett (from the novel “James”)”
