Four Lessons from Bryan Stevenson

12/8/2016

The following four lessons, Stevenson claims, will help change the world.

1) Proximity is essential - we must get closer to the people who experience inequality and are marginalized and learn more about their stories and experiences.

2) Change the narrative behind the problems we are facing so we can move away from a narrative based on fear and anger.

3) Remain hopeful. It is essential. We cannot battle without hope.

4) We have to be willing to do uncomfortable things.
