This is a beautifully written and insightful piece by the always eloquent Devon Kearney and you should absolutely read it today. It had my mind go in some many directions: trauma-informed philanthropy and what it looks like, how to counter the ever-present call to "just forget the past and start where we are," and the power of identity-based solidarity applied across identities. It also reminded me to always take the long view. We are never at the start or end of this work. We are always in the middle, always work in progress. I choose to see that as a plus. #philanthropy #traumainformed #transitionaljustice #humanrights
I spent time this spring thinking about how past injustices resonate over deacades, for a research project I did, and for personal reasons, as I was going to Wyoming to explore family connections to the Japanese-American concentration camp that was located there during World War II. "The past is never dead," Faulkner said. Here is what came of my springtime.

Mindset & Resilience Coach | I help individuals and organizations overcome challenges through empowered communication, confidence-building, and thriving despite adversity. Chronic Illness Advocate
Today, we celebrate Juneteenth, a powerful reminder of resilience, freedom, and the ongoing fight for equality. This day marks the emancipation of enslaved African Americans in the United States and is a testament to the strength and determination of a community that refused to be silenced. As we honor this pivotal moment in history, I reflect on the parallels with the journey of living with chronic illness. Much like the fight for freedom, our path is fraught with challenges, setbacks, and the need for unwavering resilience. For those of us living with chronic illnesses, every day is a battle for our own version of freedom – freedom from pain, from limitations, and from the stigma that often surrounds our conditions. We may face days where our bodies feel like prisons, but we also have moments of triumph where our spirit breaks through and we reclaim our power. Juneteenth teaches us that liberation is not just a moment, but a continuous journey. It’s about rising every day with the determination to live fully, despite the odds. It’s about finding strength in our community and lifting each other up. To my fellow warriors: Let’s draw inspiration from this day. Let’s celebrate our victories, no matter how small, and continue to push for our own emancipation from the confines of chronic illness. Together, we can build a world where our voices are heard, our struggles are recognized, and our resilience is celebrated. #Juneteenth #Resilience #ChronicIllness #Empowerment #Freedom #Community

Today, on Juneteenth, we pause to reflect on our nation's complex and painful history, while honoring the strength and resilience of those who endured and overcame immense hardships. This day is a powerful reminder of the severe injustices and cruelty of the past, and it stands as a testament to the enduring human spirit. Our shared history, though marked by trauma, is a driving force for change and progress. As allies, we have a duty to understand, educate ourselves, and strive for a future where equality and justice are realities for all. Through our united efforts, we can foster hope for a more inclusive, empathetic, and just world. Let's respect the past, take action in the present, and shape a future of healing and unity together. #juneteenth #americanhistory

If you're wondering what's gone wrong with contemporary society, this new piece from Jonathan Pageau and Jordan Peterson with ARC Research provides some insightful analyses--and clarifies the subsidiary path forward: namely revitalizing families, houses of worship, and other voluntary associations which provide individuals with layers of meaningful relationships. A thought-provoking, recommended read! (cf. Carl Trueman's *Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self*) https://lnkd.in/dnRNPnei

Today I had the honour of presenting my own Horrible Histories class! (10 points if you get the ABCTV reference). Tomorrow is the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (IDERD), a full stop punctuating the end of Harmony Week. Let's fact check the history of Harmony Week... ✨ In 1998 Australian PM John Howard commissioned the Eureka Research Study to begin an anti-racism study to "explore and understand the subtleties and nature of racism in the Australia of the late 1990s..." ✨ Among the conclusions of the study were that there was a need for an anti-racism mass media/education campaign and a promotion of "living in harmony". ✨ However, the outcomes of the research were not aligned with the PMs views that Australians were not racist. He later said: "I do not accept that there is underlying racism in this country". ✨ Harmony Day was born by focusing on the promotion of living in harmony and intentionally ignoring the anti-racist recommendations. ✨ The Eureka report and its findings were suppressed from public access until 2011. IDERD highlights what Harmony Week is missing - anti-racism awareness and advocacy. As my amazing colleague Adam Giles said "I will not have a single conversation about Harmony Week without addressing Racism". I would encourage businesses to prioritise anti-racism over wearing orange to work. Live and breathe "Racism. It stops with me".
