Belonging, Empathy, and the Surprising Ease of Building Community with Marley Blonsky

Marley offers guidance on how to navigate difficult conversations, the importance of understanding intent versus impact in communication, and why she leads with humility and curiosity. She shares tips on how you can take action to create change, why something as simple as t-shirt sizes can make a real difference, and about her upcoming projects: Wheels of Welcome and a new line of size-inclusive bike clothing with Shredly.
