Wise words from Jerry Colonna:
“What’s required of leaders now—truly, what’s required of all of us—is to resist the anesthesia of neutrality. To choose empathy over indifference. Voice over avoidance.”
Jerry talks often of being complicit. That doesn’t mean you are at fault for something, but that you are an accomplice to it, part of why it comes to happen. Silence is complicity when it comes to meeting this moment. Avoidance is complicity.
It’s easy for those of us with privilege to stay silent, to comply, to avoid, rather than take the risk of speaking up and leading. I appreciate Jerry’s call-out and demonstration of leadership to instead step up and use our voice and our platform to make a statement.
