iving thanks to the Creator, the conference organizers, especially Phyllis and Veronica, Cassandra for her generous intro.Special thanks to the family of Julian Clement Chase, and all who join in this emergent and urgent imagining of ourselves in community.This keynote offers ways to make meaning of who we are and how we be, from our inner selves to collective formations.My intention is to offer principles and practice to build together for liberation and affirm the importance of communicating as we say "yes" to this awesome endeavor.
