This is where our community builds its longevity.  Seeking to create an experience in the community that doesn’t exclude but includes everyone that has passion for the community and lessons to learn, thus creating journeys that will grow the community as a whole.

He also reminds us all.

Don’t ever doubt how incredible you are; even if you don’t see it, you are somebody’s HERO, LIGHT, REASON TO PUSH FORWARD, or you just might be their “WET DREAM.”

James asks,
“Why Chase diversity and inclusion when it should be chasing you.”
