Dec 15, 2020

Sometimes it is easy to fall into despair given how quickly things span out of control this year. I see the hundreds of micro defeats brought on by COVID; the dread in the uncertainty of how much longer will this last. What I also find is the small and settle ways the world is telling us not to give in to cynicism. 

My team and I will strive to continue delivering value to our community in 2021. December brought three news to keep us going. Will you help us celebrate!

#3: AUTHENTIC LEADERS FEATURED INTERVIEW IN GLOBAL THRIVE 

 by TERRI B. WILLIAMS

Stefanie, our founder, gets to share my story in this interview published in Thrive Global. She talks about how her childhood inspired her love for science and nature, how her mother would come to be a model of courage, and more. In hindsight, everyone's vision is 20-20, but as all of those that have forge a path forward know, the journey is never a clear road ahead.
