Using our partnerships as safe spaces to learn how to disagree and how to turn friction into learning moments has never been more important. Celebrating friction can help us navigate a society prone to conflict, anxiety, and fear.

We need to cultivate the humility to realize that we don’t have all the answers and that the people we surround ourselves with can be our best teachers and support systems.
