Thanks so much Elena. Beautiful reflection.. agonising and also alarming given all the triggering happening as you watched that Whitehouse exchange. And that the triggering overlowed into this video, so needed at this time of huge disruption is to me a great example of what constructive response looks like.

Like you, I too am questioning everything, but one thing I am NOT questioning is the direction of transformation. If transformation comes at the expense of our humanity, then its purpose is senseless. It's true that disruption can be a catalyst for change - but this kind of transformation feels like an undoing, not a regenerative advancement of humanity

The one sacred task we have as humans while on this planet -as I see it - is to make sure we stand by, define and protect what humanity looks and feels like. Bizarrely in that Whitehouse exchange we were given a great example of what it absolutely is NOT. The call to make sure we put ourselves forward in ways that are always principle-led becomes all the more louder in moments like these where the very future of freedom is being undone before our eyes.
