		<description><![CDATA[One of the reasons that I am so committed to community: church, family, school, etc. is because I don&#8217;t believe we can move forward in healthy ways unless we understand our past. No, this is not a new concept, but it seems that many conversations about innovation, creativity and growth are void of and understanding of and grappling with our shared past. [...]]]></description>
