Michelle Obama on the importance of Empathy

Former First Lady Michelle Obama

Last night, Former First Lady Michelle Obama emphasized the importance of empathy.

Seeing life from the perspective of The Other.

It IS what we (should) be teaching our children.

It IS essential for human flourishing.

Remember: the pain of exclusion when your experience was overlooked or marginalized.

Remember: the deep feeling of safety when you were welcomed with resonance and care.

Empathy matters.
