“I encourage passionate people to organize a small group of youth and adults to participate  together in Cultivating Inclusive Leadership February 24 to 26, 2017. img_5761-2I know it will play a big part in the social growth and development of your community. You will bring home knowledge, skills, and tools for shifting your community toward equality and social justice. A strong sense of being a welcoming and inclusive community will bud and prosper greatly.

I would love to be part of Cultivating Inclusive Leadership February 24 to 26, 2017 but I am currently in Australia! I love getting these e-mails and posting on the ILC website because it always reminds me in a roundabout way to keep on traveling that Inclusive road. Always remember that no matter how many different nationalities, religions and ideologies, we can always find a way to connect with and through those differences and have a great time.”
