There's no greater power than a community discovering what it cares about. Be intrigued by the differences you hear. Expect to be surprised. Treasure curiosity more than certainty. Remember you don't fear people who's story you know. Real listening always brings people closer together. Trust that meaningful conversations change your world.

Random conversations...

A black man walked into a cafe early one morning and noticed he was the only black man there. As he sat down, he noticed a white man behind him.
The white man said: "Coloured people aren't allowed in here."
The black man turend around.
He then said:
"When I was born, I was Black.
When I grew up, I was Black.
When I'm sick, I'm Black.
When I go out in the sun, I'm Black.
When I'm cold, I'm Black.
When I die, I'll be Black.
"But you sir...
When you're born, you're Pink.
When you're sick, you're Green.
When you go out in the sun, you turn Red.
When you're cold, you turn Blue.
When you die, you turn Purple.
And you have the nerve to call me coloured."
The black man then sat down, and the white man walked away

Very Curious?!?!?!

You and I have the exact same name. I am wondering where you are from and what you know about the origin of your last name.

I am from Milwaukee and my grandfather was from IL. Send me a message, I'd like to hear from you.
