It's what pushes you past the fear
to say, "I have to do this anyway."
So if you're not clear about who you are
and what's important to you,
you're going to find it hard to know,
"What am I actually
going to be standing up for?"
WPR: You've gone back to these tenets,
then, in answering this question,
this idea of being the troublemaker
that you want to be.
And then what you shared earlier
is the saying of the asking
the three questions.
And then there's a third part
of this, the doing element.
Could you talk a little bit about
what that looks like?
LAJ: Yeah, you know,
you can talk a good talk,
but if you're not doing work,
then what's the point of the talk?
Ultimately, we have to put action
to our beliefs, to our ideas,
to our convictions.
So you can be like, yes, you know,
Black lives matter.
But if you're a boss who hasn't promoted
your most senior Black staff,
and somebody who just started
got promoted over them,
then the words that you said
did not matter.
So the "do" of it all is important;
it's an exclamation point,
because first you fix
your mindset with the "be,"
then you start putting words
to it with the "say,"
