Intersectionality has been such a light bulb moment for me.

[Intersectionality] explains the interconnected and compounding effect that belonging to each one of these groups can have to create a unique experience or challenge.

One of the ways in which we can support our community is by sharing our bread with them.

I wanted the principle of 'ubuntu' to be at the core of my business, the way that we treated and looked after each other, our customers, and the way we worked together.

As archbishop Desmond Tutu explains, 'A person with ubuntu is open and available to others, affirming, does not feel threatened that others are able and good, for they have a proper self-assurance that comes from knowing that they belong in a greater whole and are diminished when others are humiliated, tortured or oppressed.'

Ubuntu fundamentally means: I am because we are.

A few years ago, a friend told me about the concept of Ubuntu which is a Nguni Bantu term from southern Africa.

I wanted to make a place where everyone felt really safe, heard, seen, and respected.

I wanted to create the kind of work environment that I would want to work in.

I wanted delicious inclusion.

Make sure that you make an impact that is filled with love.

The exciting thing about endings is that there is a new beginning.

We need to be able to forgive ourselves when we do make mistakes – when those endings might not go well.

Sometimes regrets help us to take ownership of the mistakes that we made.

"This isn't about me, this is about you.I'm just here to catalyze conversation with you! I want us all talking because that is what is going to make each of us better today for tomorrow."

It’s important to take seasons where you rest and recover.

Restarting takes so much courage. It takes seeing something that isn’t there.

Restarting has always been about rebuilding.

Being a creative is about seeing what’s not there and envisioning what it could be.
