She also talks about the upcoming changes with the organization.

“Anybody who has the things that happened to them as a child, it doesn’t matter what your politics are. If there’s no resilience built in, there’s going to be damage, and that damage manifests itself in a lot of different ways.” -Jane Stevens [10:12]
