Memorable Quotes:

• “I used to tell my children as we're growing up, that first of all, your bilingual, most people think that they only speak their native language, but we are bilingual with our body language being our first language because I can tell you for sure, for me, if my mouth is not saying it, my eyes usually are. So I love that you said that because it's so true and we really need to take that into consideration as we are communicating with people” - Sherylle

• “If you haven't had a conversation about it, of course they're not understanding and maybe they're reacting more. It doesn't feel like they're as supportive or understanding of what's going on because they haven't been looped in. So I think that reflection is really key and then what's the conversation that needs to happen. and then stepping into that conversation with whoever it might be, whether it's your partner, a friendship, a colleague, inviting them into the conversation and letting them know, I'm leveling up in my life, there's changes that are happening and I want to loop you in. ” -Rachel

• “I had to learn to say, when they came into the room like that, "Hey, listen, I am in the middle of something right now, I'm not focusing on what you're saying, and it's not fair to you and it's not fair to me because I don't want to drop the ball. I care about what you're saying. Can you give me until this time?" Whether it's 15 minutes or "I'll be done by three o'clock and then I can give you my undivided attention.” - Sherylle
