What a compelling and inspiring essay! Thank you.

This rings true:

It’s a form of laziness to accept information or ideology without questioning the meaning or the sources that they come from."

Thanks for sharing this story and sorry to read about Athena. I was nodding my head in agreement almost all the way through your writing, though. Your contribution to the greater community with this kind of thought-leadership is going to be immeasurable, in the long-run. Keep it up 👍
