This card was given to me as a thank you for sharing my life stories with a colleague that became a friend. I believe that everything is driven by purpose and that you are able to connect with people, for a reason other than chance. The two of us had the incredible opportunity to share a Diversity and Inclusion journey, in which we talked about our experiences with bias as women and as members of certain races. In those moments of vulnerability we learned to trust each other and to understand the challenges of walking in our skin. We have spoken up for one another and truly become allies. She gave me this card as a thank you for using my voice to advocate and being willing to learn, listen, be compassionate and stay true to my moral compass.
