Infiltration to effect change from the inside

Presented at Diana Initiative 2019, Aug. 9, 2019, 11:30 a.m. (30 minutes)

In today's world of divisiveness, open bigotry, and hate rhetoric it is easy to stand back and shout at the world that this is wrong. I came to the realization that I was the only one listening and this accomplished nothing. I decided to step out of my comfort zone and see what I could do to effect real change. When I embarked on my plan to quit yelling at the world around me and become involved, to actually try to make the changes I wanted to see come to fruition, I had no idea how emotional the journey would be - or how the many people I worked with would come to mean so much to me personally. This talk shows exactly how we can Believe and Achieve Together.
