It requires authentic communication, empathic listening, and wildly creative solutions.Collection: Peace

We cannot enter the realm of the heart where one gender, representing half of the human race, is subordinated, suppressed, or forgotten. In fact, such a system negatively affects both men and women, holding us all back from true integration, collaboration, and union.Collection: Inspirational
