“And what do we do about all this?” 

That was the question. The hit to my chest didn’t keep me stuck for too long, because one thing also about me? I’m a DOER. I no like too much ‘talk-talk’. So in response, I let folks know that I rarely am in space of espousing, and ‘problematizing’. I told them that if they gave me their contact info, I would create a shared communication list dedicated to ACTION. That would work to move the ideas sparked, instigated, and initiated by our panel, into reality.
