“Here’s to the unsung heroes … the ones quietly demanding equity and inclusion with their every action — those heroes who don’t seek the light, ironically, become the light. Leslie Lawson-Sims illuminates any space that she is in.”

Tonight, I keynoted the @SeattleFriends dinner to help raise funds for one of the best mentorship orgs in our city! They pair kindergarten students with a mentor all the way through their senior year in high school - 12 years. Incredible.
