Despite our differences, most of us share a desire for freedom and justice. Yet, around the world, support for authoritarianism is growing. How is this possible? 📍 Read our latest newsletter on understanding authoritarian tactics and how to resist their influence: https://lnkd.in/gVHMYc84 📍 Watch our more detailed exploration of the psycho-social dynamics of authoritarianism—produced in collaboration with The Horizons Project: https://lnkd.in/gz9gwqP9

Does the universe actually care about you? Neurosurgeon and author James R. Doty, M.D. has something to say about this. He recently joined the School of Greatness to explore the fascinating science of manifestation and how it connects to our beliefs, emotions, and actions. In this conversation, we covered: - The difference between the law of attraction and manifestation. - How to overcome limiting beliefs and cultivate empowering thoughts and emotions. - The role of positivity in shifting attitudes from victimhood to empowerment. - The significance of love versus lack in driving meaningful impact. - How placebo research and flow states can positively influence the manifestation process.

Taking some time to reflect and review what I said in 2022, and asking, what has changed?? Importantly, I am wondering what positive impact or difference have been made through my interactions, involvement and practices,in communities that are impacted by crime, violence and other social justice concerns ? Furthermore, I am reflecting on the possibilities of having a dynamic relationship between public health and faith- based approaches, towatds meaningful community engagement and development, especially when dealing with issues of concern. Just taking time for self reflection as I enter February with all it has to offer!

"History is not just a collection of dates and events—it's a narrative woven with the stories of individuals who shaped the world we live in today. However, some voices have been overlooked, their stories and names forgotten. Among them are millions of enslaved individuals who lived through the harrowing chapters of pre- and post-colonial America, including the area that would become the United States. Their identities, their lives, and their legacies deserve recognition." I'm humbled by recent efforts to recover and honor the individuals who had been enslaved, oppressed, and forgotten. The 10 Million Names project is going to be a great blessing to those who descended from enslaved people. I'll drop the link in the comments. Here is the summary of this project 👇🏻 "The 10 Million Names project is a combination of collaboration, technology, and collective memory, furthering our understanding of the past and shaping the future. By giving voice to the voiceless and bringing to light the identities of those who were once forgotten, the project illuminates the enduring resilience and humanity of enslaved individuals in pre- and post-colonial America."

"A clear-eyed and urgent vision for a new system of political governance that draws on the latest findings of Earth system science to manage planetary issues and their local consequences. Deadly viruses, climate-changing carbon molecules, and harmful pollutants cross the globe unimpeded by national borders. While the consequences of these flows range across scales, from the planetary to the local, the authority and resources to manage them are concentrated mainly at one level: the nation-state. This profound mismatch between the scale of planetary challenges and the institutions tasked with governing them is leading to cascading systemic failures. In the groundbreaking Children of a Modest Star, Jonathan S. Blake and Nils Gilman not only challenge dominant ways of thinking about humanity's relationship to the planet and the political forms that presently govern it, but also present a new, innovative framework that corresponds to our inherently planetary condition. Drawing on intellectual history, political philosophy, and the holistic findings of Earth system science, Blake and Gilman argue that it is essential to reimagine our governing institutions in light of the fact that we can only thrive if the multi-species ecosystems we inhabit are also flourishing. Aware of the interlocking challenges we face, it is no longer adequate merely to critique our existing systems or the modernist assumptions that helped create them. Blake and Gilman propose a bold, original architecture for global governance―what they call planetary subsidiarity―designed to enable the enduring habitability of the Earth for humans " https://lnkd.in/gag-WxDc

Honored to share that I've joined Maria Ressa as a Research Assistant at the Columbia Institute of Global Politics. Maria is a journalist, human rights advocate, Nobel Laureate, and now a Columbia University Professor. Our focus will be on AI, democracy, development, and human rights. If you're concerned about the decline of democracy, as many of us are, and have some free time, I highly suggest picking up her book: "How to Stand Up to a Dictator: The Fight for Our Future."
