1.     All Black Lives Matter

2.     Love and self-love are practiced in every element of all we do

3.     Spiritual growth is directly tied to our ability to embrace our whole selves

4.     Experimentation and innovation must be built into our work

5.     The most directly affected people are experts at their own lives

6.     Thriving instead of surviving 

7.     360-degree vision
