QUOTABLES

“It's simple, it's not easy. And those are different. Things that are easy, you can do mindlessly, you can casually flitter about, and it just will happen. But things can be simple, but you have to still be intentional about it.” - Amber Cabral

“I want you to think about your place in the experiences that you're having with others. I want you to be thoughtful about how you communicate. I want you to be thoughtful about how someone will receive that. I want you to be prepared for the possibility that you've f*cked up and somebody is going to need to let you know and that you're able to receive that feedback.” Amber Cabral
