But Covid has reshaped the experience. As we returned to our beloved museums and gardens, we noticed five key takeaways about experiencing culture in our brave new world. Click the #linkinbio to read more.

They are our colleagues. Our clients. Our community. Ourselves. This week, the Supreme Court affirmed something we've always known to be true -- LGBT+ rights are human rights.

Black lives matter. Black children matter. Black futures matter.

We stand in solidarity and support our friends, family and community in the fight for equality, today and every day.

Even those of us who haven’t experienced this sort of racism directly can connect with this crisis on a deep human level. We are all sons and daughters, mothers and fathers, siblings and friends, colleagues and neighbors.

Regardless of the color of our skin or our experience enduring trauma and injustice, it is up to us to have the courage to look honestly at the outdated system that perpetuates these acts. This system has benefited many of us and made it all too easy to overlook. It is our responsibility as fellow humans to take the actions we can to change our world for the better.
