Like this is one or the other… because evolution is uncomfortable.” – Amber Cabral “You don't have to sacrifice yourself to get the thing that you want. But you need to be clear about the thing that you want.” – Jessica Hurley “My biggest thing about giving feedback is the same as it is with like showing up as an ally or building relationships. I think you need to be able to read the room. And some people are better at it than others, but you can grow in that space by practicing it.” – Amber Cabral RESOURCES Amber Cabral  IG | @bamcabral LinkedIn | @ambercabral Facebook | @amber.cabral Twitter | @BamCabral  Tune in to the Guilty Privilege Podcast with Amber Cabral Grab a copy of Amber’s books at Amazon!  Allies and Advocates: Creating an Inclusive and Equitable Culture Say More About That: ...And Other Ways to Speak Up, Push Back, and Advocate for Yourself and Others -  Love what you’re hearing?
