I will not be releasing any podcasts until further notice. To our #UnlockingUs and #DaretoLead communities, I’m sorry and I'll let you know if and when that changes.
Stay awkward, brave, and kind. ❤️👊🏼❤️

- To dismiss Trump’s comments as “guy talk” is an insult to good men and boys. This is what rape culture looks & sounds like.
- The “Queer Eye” star Jonathan Van Ness opens up to The New York Times about being an addict, a sexual abuse survivor and H.I.V. positive nyti.ms/30FXe6m
- There are no words tonight. RBG served with power and dignity. Thank you.
- True story: On a morning walk in the Texas hill country and spot @jvn sitting under a cedar tree. We both just said, “OMG. Is that you?” Then virtually hugged from six feet away. We were supposed to do an event together at in March but never got to meet. Best. Hike. Ever.
- This is what domestic terrorism looks like. This is Donald Trump’s America. Imagine the police response if these were Black people BREAKING INTO the Capitol. If you don’t see white supremacy and a total threat to democracy when you see this, it’s because you don’t want to.Scores of Trump supporters breached the Capitol building and neared the Senate floor on Wednesday afternoon as thousands cheered and clashed with police in front of the building. nyti.ms/3rZGFkO
- We’re doing the same thing we did yesterday: Loving neighbors, giving thanks, and finding the face of God in everyone we meet. You?
- When I find myself in tough conversations, when I am being held accountable, when I am called to unlearn, relearn, or just learn — This is my mantra. It’s been a game-changer. Less armor. More learning.
- Repair begins with accountability. We still have so far to go. I am grateful for this verdict and devastated that George Floyd is not here today. We keep fighting. ❤️
- When we deny our history and pain, our history and pain own us. When we have the courage to own our stories of pain, fear, and oppression, we can write a new story. Today we start a new story of unity, inclusivity, democracy, science, and empathy. #BidenHarris2020
- 36 hours with no heat or electricity and we’re back. For now. Boiling water, evacuating care homes, mile-long lines at grocery stores, no gas. Frozen windmills is a simple visual + explanation, but it’s BS. Follow the money. All the way to privatization + deregulation.
- Thank you to the mental health+addiction professionals who are holding space + walking us through the fear and anxiety. And, thank you to the folks working in domestic violence – we see you. Not everyone who has to stay at home is safe at home. This is a crisis inside a crisis.
- Saying suicide is selfish is saying, “Although I don’t understand clinical depression & suicide I’m going to judge people who die from it even if causes unimaginable pain + trauma and stigmatizes mental illness because it makes me feel better + safer.” bit.ly/2sEkOlF
- Everyone wants to be brave. Very few of us want to feel vulnerable. There is no courage without uncertainty, risk, and emotional exposure. Brave is vulnerable. Embrace the suck.
