And what's so interesting to me is, although I love the arts, I'm really a science gal, you know? And I'm like, molecules are so interesting. When you think about matter, it's like in any matter, it could be DNA, it could be water, it could be anything. You add a molecule into the matter and the whole matter changes. It doesn't matter what you're talking about.

So if you consider that the matter is a culture, whether it's society or it's a company or it's a family, you have matter. And then the one molecule that enters that matter changes it. It is not the same. And so then you've got to contemplate, well, then, if that is true, because it's true in science, if I walk into a corporate culture, I am the molecule. The matter has to change.

It's not even a choice. It has to change. So then why would I consider myself insignificant? Even if I'm just one. Because if you have a glass of water and you drop some red dye into it, regardless of how small that drop is, it changes. It's no longer the same.

So that little drop can't be insignificant. So I am not insignificant.

They don't want the change. They don't want the change because the change is also too hard. I think they really do want it because we all want things. You know what I mean? We all want things. But just as in the name of the... This podcast, like it's hard. It is hard. Like everything else, I don't think anything is just black and white.

You know, I do believe that there is a desire to change, a sincere one. You know, a sincere acknowledgement that like, oh yes, okay, no, we are all the same here and we do need to have perspectives that are different. But then that difference comes and it's like, ooh, that's way too different. Can you just behave a certain way? You know, can you just not say the things

Can you not bring up that story when you're talking? Because that doesn't fit into the thing we're trying to say. Speaking of hard, I think it's important.

The hardest part about communicating with white women is that they still think we're the same. Somehow that just being women means that we're the same. And that is not true. And again, I think it's like intellectually we all know that. But practically, do we know that? Emotionally, do we know that? I don't think so. And so then the idea of our united spirit.
