The Welcoming Way

Thank you, Rev. Lukata Lumumje, for recalling Marianne Williamson’s wisdom ❤️🐬👣

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous,
talented and fabulous?

Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other
people won’t feel insecure around you.

We were born to make manifest the glory of
God that is within us.

It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same.

As we are liberated from our own fear,
Our presence automatically liberates others.”
— Marianne Williamson

American Airlines honored Bessie Coleman’s 100-year legacy by featuring an all-Black female crew on a flight from Dallas-Fort Worth to Phoenix. This historic flight celebrated Coleman's pioneering spirit, the first Black woman to earn a pilot’s license, and showcased 36 women in aviation roles. The airline’s dedication to diversifying the industry continues with its Cadet Academy and community outreach.

Is calling one another a villain, name calling, and self righteousness the only way to have the sacred conversations on justice in Israel-Palestine?❤️🐬👣

Who Decides Penn’s Future: Donors or the University? Some alumni want the president to resign. They are angry about a Palestinian conference and Penn’s response to the Hamas attacks — as well as D.E.I. and transgender rights.
