Once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive.
You won’t even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain.
When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in.

As we kick off #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth, let’s honor the enduring presence & resilience of Native peoples throughout history. Despite centuries of colonization, forced assimilation & systemic oppression, our communities continue to thrive & build power for future generations

I struggled at school. I struggled at work.
I struggle with writing. I struggle with speaking publicly.
I struggle with small talk. I am intimated by really smart people.
Nothing has been easy for me. Yet, I welcome intentional struggles.
Why, you may ask. That’s how I grow.

Today, I have the solemn responsibility to be the first president to formally apologize to Native peoples – Native American, Native Hawaiian, and Native Alaskan – for what happened during the Indian Boarding School era.
It's long overdue.
Martin LeBlanc retweeted
It was the honor of my lifetime to travel with @POTUS to celebrate his first visit to Indian Country at the Gila River Indian Community today.

President Biden's formal apology is a historic first step towards justice and healing for Native peoples. The federal government has never apologized for what happened to Native children and acknowledged the impact boarding schools continue to have in our communities.

Federal Indian boarding schools have impacted every Indigenous person I know. These were places where children - including my grandparents - were traumatized. I'm so grateful to @POTUS for acknowledging this terrible era of our nation's past. washingtonpost.com/investiga…

The Federal Indian Boarding School Era is one of the darkest chapters of American history. The trauma experienced in those institutions haunts our conscience to this very day.
Today, I'm in Arizona to issue a long overdue presidential apology for this era – and speak to how my Administration has worked to invest in Indian Country and our relationships with Tribal Nations, advance Tribal sovereignty and self-determination, respect Native cultures, and protect Indigenous sacred sites.
On my watch, we'll remain committed to ushering in a new era between our government and nation-to-nation relationships – one that is grounded in dignity and respect.
We must remember our full history, even when it's painful. That's what great nations do. And we are a great nation.

I’ve been a fan of @StevieWonder for as long as I can remember. That’s why I’m proud to share The Wonder of Stevie podcast from @HGMedia and @Questlove, which explores the five-year period starting from 1972 where Stevie released some of the most groundbreaking albums that transformed music.
I hope you'll take some time to listen on Audible or wherever you get your podcasts.

What do great bosses do to earn our trust and respect?
1 tell us our work matters
2 open career doors for us
3 defend us when we needed it
4 recognize and reward us
5 develop us as leaders
6 inspire us to stretch higher
7 lead by example (player and coach)
8 provide us a safe space to grow
9 forgive us when we made mistakes
10 appreciate high rate of learning
11 challenge assumptions starting with their own
12 are player coaches - skin in the game
13 apologize when they made mistakes
14 sponsor our work (career pathing)
15 lead us by questions not answers (taught us how to think, not what to think)
16 in a celebration led from the back, in a crisis led from the front, in the presence of a better plan, followed side-to-side
17 proactively ask for feedback
18 allow the best ideas to win, not the best titles
19 show up on time, left when it made sense to leave
20 do not speak poorly behind others back
