Luvvie Ajayi speaks to getting comfortable with being uncomfortable. As we continue to go through the year and do our work around equity this is bound to happen. Luvvie's words hit deep. Here is the part that resonated with me: “And I feel like everyday that I’m speaking truth against institutions and people who are bigger than me and forces that are more powerful than me, I feel like I’m falling out of that plane. But I realize comfort is overrated. Because being quiet is comfortable. Keeping things the way they’ve been is comfortable. And all comfort has done is maintain the status quo. So we’ve got to get comfortable being uncomfortable by speaking these hard truths when they’re necessary.” Luvvie will challenge you to think about if you will be the first domino to fall? What will it take for you to be the first? As you listen to the video I challenge you to think about will you be the first domino to fall? What will it take for you to be the first to fall?
