Healing doesnβt happen in silence. It happens through messy but collective dialogue π€β¨
In this continued conversation from Crucial Conversations with Healing Illinois, Maria Pike, Mike Oquendo, and Cecile Demello reflect on what it means to lead with love, challenge systems with intention, and ensure the voices most impacted are part of building real change π€
βAnd that is because those who are directly impacted are not at the conversation to help build the things that we need, through messy, but collective dialogue that is needed.β β Cecile De Mello
This is only another glimpse into a much larger conversation featuring Dr. Marcus Robinson, Maria Pike, Mike Oquendo, Cecile De Mello, Chef Ronnie Sloan, Chef Omar Cadenas, Pilar Audain, and Antonio Mendoza ποΈπ±
What part of this conversation resonates with you most?
