In November 2025, I had the privilege of facilitating a customized workshop, “Listening Leaders: Building Rapport and Community by Listening,” for the Ready TECH Hire program. The workshop moved beyond traditional communication, exploring how holding space, solidarity, and the art of silence serve as essential tools for effective leadership.

A Community that Continues to Grow

Together, we continue to carry this work forward into new spaces and shared practices of listening.
Stories Shared, Voices Amplified
January 2026
In 2025, we partnered with healthcare organizations across the country to help amplify the voices of people working and receiving care within healthcare and caregiving spaces. Each collaboration reaffirmed our belief that listening is relational and archival: these poems hold stories that deserve to be remembered.
