    Here are some key takeaways from this episode: 

    The truth is more subjective than you think

     “This makes it sound as if the truth is independent and accessible. It would be really convenient if this was true but if you’re interested in promoting inclusion you should know how much of this is inconvenient.”

    Your truth is used to give voice to those who lack it  

    “people who want to speak their truth are often marginalised, they don’t get the chance to talk, to be seen, to be heard, to be acknowledged”

     Not everyone gets the chance to tell any version of any truth

     “Some people seem to matter more than others. But why? Why would someone even want to speak their truth, what would you have to believe to use that term?”

    Here are some resources so you can go deeper:
