Replying to @viendetta
@viendetta (@thedreamcorps) speaking candidly on her family's history, and why the conversation around equity is more than critical; it's necessary and immediate. #WeAllThrive
Love this. There are diminishing returns to building only luxury condos, studios and lofts. What about the families and mom n pop shops? What are we doing to build cities and communities where everyone belongs? #WeAllThrive
Carlos from @lucha_chicago dropping mics!! Diminishing marginal returns...how many luxury condos and lofts do we need to build before we start negatively impacting our cities? #weallthrive @SPARCChub

“When amazon moves into a place it creates 2.5 service jobs, many of which go infilled b/c people can’t afford to live in those communities.” Investing in affordable housing isn’t just a nice to do; it’s essential for our communities and economy. #WeAllThrive #sparcc

Great start with @Prof_MPastor and @profjohnapowell. Excited for what the rest of the day has in store #weallthrive
Talking about equity is like going to the gym. If you talk about it every day and in every conversation, you’ll gain some skill @manuelpastor #WeAllThrive

#WeAllThrive @SPARCChub john a. powell "the process of moving and sorting people on the basis of race is really old and is what *whiteness* is fundamental all about." If you want to see Egyptian art you don't go to Egypt. You go to London."

I recently came home, twenty eight years after leaving Montreal. Soon, I will be embarking on a road trip across Quebec to rediscover the province, and I am asking readers to be my guide. More on this adventure in this week's Canada Letter- nyti.ms/2tgfeZQ
