Collaborati

Collaborating with others who have different skillsets or points of view can help grow you.  I love the story of how Ida B Wells was having a meal with Frederick Douglass. She had said she would like to eat at the restaurant across from their meeting place, but it did not allow our people in. 

Douglass walked in, she followed. After not being welcome and told to leave, Douglass told them who he was. Once they learned who he was, they not only allowed them to eat, but shared stories with them. This situation gave Wells the opportunity is there even when you don’t think it is. Collaborating allowed her to see things from a different perspective.
