Two weeks ago, I had the privilege of facilitating a workshop on different ways to use #curiosity as a tool in #rewriting of one’s story with a group of students from Calbright College.

As students joined the Zoom room, I felt something, deep inside me.

I’ve experienced this feeling before.

In fact, I’ve experienced it many times.

The feeling of how transformative such spaces can be.

There was a time when I didn’t believe in the power such spaces can create.

I viewed vulnerability as a sign of weakness.

I wasn’t open to different ways of thinking.

I wasn’t open to receiving help from others.

Years later, I’ve developed a different perspective around these concepts.

I have witnessed such spaces create the possibility to discover ways to overcome whatever challenges may be ahead.

I have witnessed vulnerability in its purest form.

I have witnessed communities be formed.

I have witnessed the power of a curious mind.

Thank you Amna Jara for allowing me to create such space with your students 🙏
