In this episode, we explore the transformative power of resilience and the significance of declaring "I am still here." Inspired by Aiyana Luke, we discuss the difference between adaptation and evolution, the impact of collective action, and how embracing change leads to true professional and personal growth. Discover how individual persistence, community strength, and a willingness to evolve can turn survival into thriving, and learn practical steps to move from merely adapting to actively shaping the spaces you occupy. Join us as we celebrate presence as an act of resistance and transformation, and invite you to consider how your journey can empower others to say, "We are still here. Together."
