Summary

In light of current events, this week I am sharing a special podcast conversation with the newest Dream Team member - our summer intern Milana. She was open hearted and willing to speak with me about about racism and what I have learned about my part in it. I have learned so much and WILL BE part of the discussion and the solution. I hope you can listen and open your mind, even if these ideas are uncomfortable. I am working to be better and do better. I hope you will join me by listening in.

1:13.7	education is expensive you should try ignorance and I took that to mean I am a
1:19.6	fourth generation female college graduate I go to good schools. I will put my kids in

2:04.5	or I'm not a hoarder level yet.
2:07.7	And we think that there is disorganization
