I was granted the chance to learn so much from my LADO colleagues; from vernacular to attitude, to handling responsibility, and rest-to-rise. It was a brilliant opportunity, as a white person, to be educated in healthy dialogue and to hear what my liberation-seeking cohort is working on to further their mission.
I was so very energized by our conversations and by the hospitality of Smith College and our colleague Floyd. I look forward to our next meeting and also hosting LADO in 2022. Warmest appreciation for all the hard work and good work LADO is doing. Let's go make some Good Trouble!
