Chopped it up with Damian Lillard and appreciated the realness of what he learned from 2020.Listen to what he had to say! 🗣Also shared why I’m so passionate about this subject, how the phrase actions speak louder than words has taken on a whole new meaning in my life after being betrayed multiple times, how I’ve coped with that. And being multi-racial, how myself and my family has dealt with prejudices.Actions speak louder than words. In this world, there’s too much talk and less action.Let’s take actionable steps in loving another, not hating. Actually do that - love and care, treating those different than you with respect.
