Free Up To Calm Down: 10 Ways To Restore
Yourself, Your Workplace Now

And seeing an extraordinary woman of color lose a hard-fought election, after a period of optimism that our country could at last overcome both racism and sexism, felt like a cold slap in the face of democratic ideals as I learned them from my immigrant grandparents.
