On Saturday Nov. 2 I attended the Michigan’s Grassroots 2020 Leadership Summit, where I gave a speech. I spoke about how we, as people, are all interconnected. We share far more than we realize in our communities and in our lives. We are in a symbiotic relationship nature and each other. I spoke about how all good things begin with a foundation, and that I see a solid foundation being built by groups like the Grassroots Leadership Summit. People working for the people, of the people and by the people. The summit was held in Madison Heights and was hosted by The Grassroots Caucus.
