12 July 2016: Today I had the honor of being part of this discussion, a public forum entitled "A Global Perspective on Advocacy and Human Rights." To tell the truth, I was a bit nervous about it, but we had a packed house and an important (urgent) discussion. The men on stage with me are just awe-inspiring individuals and the audience was warm and receptive. I was particularly moved by Carlos Mejia's comment that he asked himself every day, "How can I show up, be present, and show my humanity?" So simple and profound. We all have a lot of work to do to take care of ourselves, but this event gave me hope.
Update: a news story about the event. Kind of (very) relieved that there aren't any sound bites from yours truly.
