Opinion: To truly care for our communities, we must make space for sharing first-hand experiences [Opinion]

With our share of challenges, living “in community” is activated in our daily opportunities and choices. Consider yourself a pebble thrown into the water, sending ripples outward and never truly knowing your influence in the energy exchanged.
