Sunday Edition Presents: The High Partial Experience 

Last Month Sunday Edition began a series of conversations to promote understanding and move towards healing and uniting. This month we will continue with the High Partial Experience. 
Some of us may agree that there seems to be a hierarchy of status in our  community.  . There are certain cliques and groups that feel micro-aggressions and differing treatment by other groups and cliques. With all the disagreement of late in our organization it has become clear we need to begin the hard work of understanding and respecting each other for our shared advocacy and issues as well as; if not more important our differences.  
 
Sunday Edition continues the conversation focusing on the experiences of our Brothers, Sisters and non binary siblings who are “High Partials. , Panelists include: Zelda Gebhard, Jessica Tomlinson, Robyn  Wallen, Terry Pacheco and Becky Dunkerson; A great conversation to have as we all also shout out the :”Mothers” in our lives; all mom’s of all ilks. 
 
The focus of this conversation will be to shine a light on some of the perceived differences of how High Partials experience ACB and its offerings and community. Pam and I agree that keeping the format close to the first conversation and continuing to stoke the bravery is the way to promote the second half of the show dedicated to brainstorming healing ideas and promoting getting to know each otherss experiences. We will ask you to share from your personal experience and allow for us to open to the audience for theirs.
