“As communicators, we are complicit in the harm caused by performative communications, microaggressions, reinforcing stereotypes in our content, and contributing to damaging our brand’s reputation…. As conscious communicators, with an awareness of others’ experiences and a commitment to centering them, we are uniquely positioned to help build a truly people-centered workplace.”
Kim Clark, The Conscious Communicator: The Fine Art of Not Saying Stupid Sh*t

“Whether we like it or not, as a law enforcement officer myself, I do believe that law enforcement agencies around the world and the Academies itself, takes away a young man’s or woman’s will. It tends to barricade he or she with rules and regulations. Depriving him or her of reason. It makes them less human. They no longer know reality or communication with the real world we live in.”
Alex Hartley Jr.
