          • Quotes:

            “If I had a magic wand, we’d have a way of measuring according to those on the receiving end of inclusive behaviors. . . and I think that would yield so much more information.”

            “I worry about backsliding and forgetting some of the most poignant and powerful lessons and truths that we’ve heard from people who are really in pain the last couple of years. We have to carry that forward and continue to heard that, as hard as it is.”
