Our values

To lead, listen first

You amplify voices that are less often heard and create space for those voices to grow. The quality of an idea doesn't correlate with the loudness of someone's voice.

The brain is a muscle

If you're going to do something, you will do it well. Practice often and rest when needed. Give your mind what it needs to thrive.

Unlearn to learn

What did we learn growing up, and what do we need to unlearn? It's essential to understanding our personal bias and position so that we can grow.
