What if survival was your only freedom, and storytelling your greatest act of resistance? Against the Loveless World by Susan Abulhawa is not just a novel. It’s a reckoning with power, displacement, and the cost of belonging. Through the voice of Nahr, a Palestinian woman in solitary confinement, this story takes you through war, exile and the quiet (and loud) ways women resist. It will challenge your assumptions about who gets to be radical, and why. For those of us working to make tech and leadership spaces more just and human, stories like Nahr’s are essential reminders of what courage looks like outside boardrooms and algorithms.

Here’s the secret: It’s not about talking more. It’s about listening better. In this powerful episode of NPR’s Life Kit, journalist Celeste Headlee breaks down why most conversations fail and how a small mindset shift can make you a better mentor, leader, and collaborator. 🧠 The biggest takeaway? Great conversationalists don’t rehearse what to say. They listen, stay curious, and stay present.

What if the key to real innovation isn't just your skillset, but your network? Most people build relationships with those who look and think like them. But what if you saw networking as a skill to grow instead of a lucky accident? This powerful mindset shift could open doors to creativity, collaboration, and yes, real influence. Dare to reach beyond your bubble.
