Truly Beautiful and Powerful Work

I've loved listening in on these conversations and having the chance to learn at the feet of such an incredible educator, Nova Reid. It's uncomfortable at times, certainly, but I am trying to do better at sitting with that discomfort and asking questions that help me change my perspectives and make the world a little bit better.
