PORTRAITS
One person. One thought.
You don't always have to be the one speaking.
Sometimes it's enough to just stop, listen to someone, and let a single thought continue to work within you.
In the PORTRAITS series, I feature people whose stories, ways of thinking, or approach to lifeare in some way connected to the values that are important to me as well: inclusion, equal opportunity, community, mobility, and paying a little more attention to one another.
I'm looking for people I don't know. Authentic people.
One person. One thought.
A new perspective.
