You can be autonomous, but you cannot be separate. Indeed, you become stronger individually not by dividing yourself from others, but by appreciating your uniqueness – and that of others – in relationship to the whole.
When you see the whole, are witness to the glory, struggles, joy and pain of others, you make greater sense of your own experience.
Rejecting the story others tell is to diminish your own place in the whole. While honoring the grand, inclusive, complex, and conflicted narrative of humanity’s full breath is to actualize your own existence.
Our entire Verus Global team joins collaborative leaders everywhere in recognizing the significance of Juneteenth.
