Happy holidays everybody! For the next few episodes, we're going to be playing some of our greatest hits. This is one of them.
Today I want to share a painful, personal story about a lesson that I learned about organizing for change as an outsider and organizing for change as an insider.

And I got a call from The White House that forever changed the way I saw my role in this movement. I wanted to speak like and lead like Malcolm, but have the access to rooms of power and privilege like Martin. It didn't work. Let me unpack and explain how that informs almost everything I do as a leader today.
