This #REJPFS Summit is centering IBPOC (Indigenous, Black, and People of Colour) voices - this can be uncomfortable when we are so used to hearing and centering white voices.
Challenge Others is not to be the devil’s advocate. It is about challenging yourself in your own views.
re: COVID-19.
Many say that it is Unprecedented Times but it is actually not unprecedented at all. It has happened with smallpox in Indigenous communities. There is a lot of wisdom in Indigenous, Black, and people colour on how to move through difficult times.

Entrepreneurship, at its best is the ultimate self-expression. Congrats to @Groundswellyvr Cohort 8! "This is not the end. This is not even the beginning of the end. It's the end of the beginning." #groundswell2019
