Dissenting voices are vital to preserving critical thinking. Critical thinking protects against herd mentality. Herd mentality is fatal if it is pointing in the wrong direction. Support dissenting voices and critical thinkers if they are altruistic and prosocial in their underpinning drivers.

It may initially seem negative in the context of narcissism, but the term "black sheep" carries a unique strength. Often, these individuals possess the courage to question established norms and view situations from fresh, uncharted perspectives. While it can be incredibly challenging to stand out and challenge the status quo, these brave souls are often the catalysts for essential change and groundbreaking innovation.
Think about it: by daring to be different, "black sheep" challenge groupthink and push boundaries. Their unique viewpoints and willingness to voice dissent can act as a safeguard against collective mistakes, steering the group toward wiser, more informed decisions. This kind of bravery isn't just about being contrary for the sake of it—it's about valuing progress over comfort, truth over conformity.
Moreover, their readiness to take risks and explore the unconventional can pave the way for new ways of thinking, leading to advancements that others might have never considered. This perspective highlights the invaluable contributions of those who dare to break away from the crowd.
So, while being the "black sheep" might come with its own set of challenges, it is also a role that carries the potential for profound impact. Embracing this identity means recognizing the power in difference and the beauty in diversity of thought. Sometimes, the most significant progress springs from those who are bold enough to be different.

This is truth! The dominant economic paradigm is Win-Lose competition over money. It leaves immense wasted wealth on the table in the form of underutilized business capacity: college desks are empty more than they are full; grocery store aisles, full of groceries, are empty of customers more than they are full; restaurants, movie, theaters, shopping malls, auto dealerships… All empty more than they are full. We can do so much better! #RiseTogether

Happy Juneteenth!
It’s a good day to remember that anti-racism and liberation work are inherently intersected with trauma-informed care.
These are parallel practices.
If you’re trauma-informed care doesn’t include anti-racism and anti-oppression work it is incomplete.
Both are life long practices that take time, intention and work. May we honor today and also affirm our commitment to our evolution.
May we take action and amplify Black safety, Black joy, Black art, Black leadership, Black economic development, Black lives today and everyday.

“White” folks~ Stop saying, I have a Black friend so I can’t be racist. Proximity to Black people doesn’t mean you have dedicated your life to antiracism. We must do the work. We must do the introspection. We must listen to Black people. We must use our privilege to spotlight and support Black people. We must educate ourselves. We must drop our ego and realize, it’s not about us. We must educate others about systemic racism. We must show through our actions, over a lifetime, that we are committed to helping support the dismantling of systemic racism. Vow to never live the lie of “white” supremacy.

I'm very proud to share this article I wrote about Fredericksburg's beloved "Mayor for Life," Reverend Lawrence Davies, who passed in early August. While he will be missed as a leader, a pastor, and a friend, he is part of a long history of Black political activism in the Fredericksburg area, which I've attempted to capture here: https://lnkd.in/ejXpy77i

When I think about Black history, I think about a family legacy of education, entrepreneurship, and wealth building. I think about sustainable change toward more inclusive and just societies. I think about promoting those of diverse backgrounds and bridging gaps due to ignorance and bias. I think about my life's work with Kimbrel Management Consulting. We are Black History!
Every conversation I have ever had with Nyerere left me thinking of ways to improve myself. He sets a very high standard for humanity, intelligence, and passion. I am truly lucky to consider Nyerere to be one of my closest friends and wisest colleagues. The article only begins the story.

I can't believe it's been two years since Michael D'Angelo contacted me as part of WGN's Black History Month. For those warriors fighting for others, I salute you!
What most don't know is that this video was the first time I had talked about being homeless during the first seven years of my life. There was a lot of inner healing work to get to this self-acceptance, self-grace, and self-love. This work continues today. I've learned that my service to myself opens me up to serve others with a natural unselfishness as the validation of who I am and what I bring to the table is no longer of question to me. I simply am!
No matter what you're going through, the inner work is yours to own, and when you commit to it, it will unlock you in ways you love yourself more!
