Teaching me to dream bigger
“What’s your dream for this dream?” When Teneshia Jackson Warner offered this question during her interview with Danielle, I couldn’t help but examine the ways that I too had put my dreams in a box. The tip to leave space for imagination in your ideal dream environment was so powerful, and I can’t wait to put it into practice.
