As I put this out into the interwebs this morning, my mind is preparing for the shift back home to North Carolina from Toronto and the shift from that Home, to my new Home in Kansas City in just over a week.
My heart is delighted to see one more fellow young, black, professional leader on our city council and the history that makes. Also another young leader has been promoted to the head of his nonprofit in Greensboro. I’m also grateful to have been in the presence of some great North Carolinians and other fellow placemaking leaders nationwide here at the K880 Emerging City Champions Studio. May all of you who might be reading this be well, look me up and for those of you who don’t know these folks, get to know them.
Meanwhile, let me drop this email/post before you really start working and so I can get one more Tim Horton’s maple donut:
