Blind spot Podcast/ Rebuilding wall street Article Quotes

Resistant

“one night, I even found myself mapping out an escape plan—in my head—in the event of a fire or an attack. Of course, it pales in comparison to what the survivors have had to live through.”

“And just because something bad happens to you, doesn’t mean that you’re going to be traumatized, right? Trauma has a stuckness component to it.”

Healing

It was a lot of: I’m here with you. You’re not doing this by yourself. We’re here together.

I still see a resilient and innovative base of young community leaders and business owners who have been working tirelessly to move the needle forward.

Liberation

“We got to honor those forgotten names. We got to honor those people who built what we knew as Greenwood, while also seeking justice for the living.”

It is possible. Not only is it possible, it’s being done. If it wasn’t being done, there would be no reason why you would reach out to me and want to talk to me.
