I think you need to stop walking into rooms like you don’t belong there.

There’s a bunch of times where we walk into spaces that we’re invited to and we start to think, because it’s not a space that maybe we feel like we hold innate power in, that we don’t belong there.

It’s wrong!

If you’re invited, then walk in there like it’s your space.

Take space.

Take up space.

Be you, fully. | By James Gardin
