Change requires courage and power - Tonya Allen of McKnight Foundation #LeadingLocally2025 Leaders need to use their power to change the rules.

Thank you to Brass Solidarity, @springboardarts.bsky.social, and all of our performers at #LeadingLocally2025!

Folks at #LeadingLocally2025 got their days started off right with puppy snuggles, morning runs, Tai Ji, and a walk through the sculpture garden!

Glad to see @tinynewscollective.bsky.social member @blackbygod.bsky.social featured in these materials about narrative change at this #leadinglocally2025 session. ❤️

HB Lozito from @weareoutintheopen.bsky.social reminds #LeadingLocally2025 that we need to support work that fosters wonder and imagination and awe - and that those things aren’t frivolous. Instead they bring people together.

From @darrencwalker.bsky.social of @fordfoundation.org: To reduce polarization, we need leadership that seeks to make that happen. #leadinglocally2025
