I love that question. Donnie always drove into me, he always said this, you ain't got it unless you're giving it back. And he continued to say this all the time.
But just, again, I cannot tell you the privilege we have of hearing from the honorable Dr. Donna Christensen here today. Thank you. Equally as privileged, I would say, is Dr. Lauren Smith, who is the Chief Health Equity and Strategy Officer for the CDC Foundation.

"You guys members here?" He asked. Of course, they said in chorus. Donny shook his head slowly. "Sorry," he said, "Wednesday is nonmember night." They looked at him confused. "Come back another night," he said. The kids didn't protest, politely and respectfully, they gathered up their gear, found a pay phone and called their parents and then disappeared

behavior, much of what goes into making organizations work until he said-- When Donn a was sharing the lessons, the lessons were more profound than you get in most management books. I mean, they're not devoid of lessons, but they're dry.
You know when they say, when the student is ready, the teacher appears. So Donnie was the perfect teacher for me at that moment. A bunch of books were the perfect teachers.
Et encore voilà, des inconvénients il y en a plein, Un dernier c'est aussi que ce n'est pas le meilleur moyen, tout ce qui est critique, rabaissement, etc. pour donner confiance en soi. À son enfant. Quand on reçoit des critiques toute la journée de quelqu'un. Voilà, c'est comme si votre manager toute la journée vous dit
Mais qui est d'accord pour faire ça ? ça donne 10 euros qui sont prélevés sur votre facture téléphonique Voilà c'est le même. De toute façon c'est pareil.

So we can express ourselves freely. They donned artifacts that were irreverent. They were ironic in some cases.
I write poetry as an outlet. And Donny is inspired by that and starts setting my poems to music. And we end up singing one of the songs that they write together for the competition, the statewide competition.
The Donnas-- they were a Palo Alto band and they started out as young teenagers in high school.
Now, we're just going to talk about two of them because of time. So Donna you ah-- We're going to start with "Planet Purple" and we'll talk about "The Bass Violin Festival." So I'm going to give you a brief reading of the story just to take you back to remember what happened in the story of "Planet Purple."
And Donna Reed, when I saw that movie, the "Wonderful Life," when she played Mrs. George Bailey, I thought she, in Bedford Falls, was just
Yeah. Just like that. Like -- Donna: Here. I think we need your other hand. Amanda: Oh, yeah. Donna: That's awesome. But you gotta aim it right in there.
I wouldn't be in the shot but if you want, umm, Donna, if you wanna pan to them at the end and I could just, umm, I -- Donna: Sorry, guys. It's my fault.
qu'on ne donnait pas une place suffisamment grande aux personnes transgenres, aux personnes racisées, aux femmes, également. Et c'est vrai que moi, là-dessus, à la fois je regrette et je me défends.

So that was basically my agenda in sitting with each of them. Following what Donnie had said, giving it back. Because by that time, Donnie had already gone home.
to Russell with some Donny Hathaway and some Gladys Knight and some Kendrick Lamar and maybe a little Erykah Badu too. Namely, all of this is connect scientific,
He first met Donna Maclean in the foreign office.
L'autre inconvénient c'est que c'est qu'en même... Ça ne donne pas hyper envie euhhh, à notre enfant de coopérer. Je ne sais pas si vous avez un copain qui toute la journée vous parle comme ça...
