KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM DR. KIM:

• I’ve always been someone that is driven to learn, live and laugh.
• Sharing space with someone is powerful and sacred and speaks to co-creation.
• If the intentions are to have something beautiful emerge from our connection,
• Intentionally put herself in uncomfortable places to work through her comfort zone boundaries.
• I’m going to demonstrate radical belonging.
• It was a reflection about how unaccountable systems are.
• Designed a movement around joy, aliveness, rhythm, tempo - all centered around how do you expose unaccountable systems but live your life with joy, indignity and integrity.
• Individually we are all powerful, but what is more important, especially now, is that we find our community.
• There is strength in silence.
• There is power in observation, power in documenting what you’re seeing even if you don’t have the power to change it. That helps to reclaim the narratives for how to fight back.
• Find your confidantes, find your community, lean into trusted relationships. When you find your senses are being inflamed, lean into those trusted relationships. Have a space to be with others and cultivate spaces of love. Nourish your mind, your bodies and observe how you feel when you’re in those spaces of love. That is where we will have an abundance of intentional actions, not from toxic spaces.
• Right the ship wasn’t just about the Coast Guard, it’s about this country, any organization that is failing and not doing the business of the people.
• Used my talent and reputation as strategy and community.
• Tremendous power in how we move, what we feed our minds and you never know what will emerge in the future.
