Manifesting Empathy
Adopted from South America into the Western suburbs of Minneapolis, I have been labeled white while having brown skin. I have also reconnected with my birth family, culture and people.
This has yielded an ability to experience a large variety of perspectives regarding how diversity is accepted, and rejected; along with the costs and benefits of such choices.
I'm offering my time because I see it as the best contribution that I can give to the global community.
A community still struggling to capitalize on the diversity it seeks to access, and an abundance of.
My objective is to help others see, accept and nurture the deeper idea of diversity, which is self-exploration and understanding.

The Question
First off, empathy ... while not exactly a myth, but ... once we name a thing, a part of it, if not the whole of it, dies.
To have empathy is to be able to continually re-evaluate one's perspective and possible biases.
And to understand, overstand, side-stand, inner-stand, outer-stand as well as non-stand the need for this.
The question is, how does one even begin?
The Answer
Look at your life through a series of age brackets:
0 to 5 // 5 to 12 // 12 to 18 // 18 to 25,
25 to 35 // 35 to 50 // 50 to 70 and beyond.
See all of your selves through these phases.
Your Physical, Mental, Emotional, Financial & Spiritual selves.
What are/were the APOCs for each personal epoch?
Achievements, Pitfalls, Opportunities & Challenges.
Know thyself; or perhaps better ...
Know your limits to break your limits.
This is how you start.
