The leaders I admire most aren't the most certain ones. They're willing to ask whether the way they decide is the way they'd choose under reflection.
Peregrine's 2027 cohort is open. Well worth the week.

Six conversations. One thread we couldn't unsee.
The fracture always started when someone was alone. The flourish always started with someone who stayed.

Juneteenth marks the distance between a freedom declared and a freedom people could actually live. More than two years passed in that gap.
Freedom is the precondition. Access is what turns it into flourishing.

Who holds the design table isn't a diversity question. It's a quality question. Kline and Kluge on More Than Profit.
#MoreThanProfit
A credit score is a measurement. Every measurement encodes a decision about what counts. From a distance, Maria is a risk. Up close, she's exactly who a working system would back.

"Nothing about us, without us" started in disability advocacy.
It may be the best diagnostic I know for why systems fail. Not bad intent. Distance.

One of the most honest stories we've published this year. Still up if you missed it. buff.ly/8U53MUb

Weekend read: Priya's story on what independence actually means when the world wasn't built for you. buff.ly/8U53MUb

"Not just how do I get there. But what will it feel like when I arrive?"
Because arriving doesn't always mean belonging. Priya's story is still up. buff.ly/8U53MUb
#Accessibility #GoodMaps
She starts planning the day before. Not because she's overly cautious. Because she's learned that small gaps become big barriers once she's out in the world.
Priya's story is out today. buff.ly/8U53MUb

From this week's Fracture to Flourish bonus episode:
National foster family retention after first placement: around 50%.
Foster the City's rate: nearly double.
The difference isn't better families. It's the community that shows up.
Listen: buff.ly/3iVPML0
New bonus episode of Fracture to Flourish is out.
Philip Pattison on what happens when foster families don't go it alone, and why the ones with real community around them stay in it nearly twice as long.

From this week's bonus episode with John Richmond:
Traffickers look for kids who've bounced through multiple placements. One told him a trip to the mall and dinner was enough to recruit.
