Yes, no. Up, down. Increase, decrease. Order, chaos. Love, hate. Rich, poor. Win, lose.

So much of our current world view is shaped through the construction of dichotomies. There is no grey area, no middle ground, no compromise.

It’s time to celebrate the middle ground, get comfortable with the normal, champion the non-binary, lean into the ordinary.

2023 AADC Talks.
Extra Ordinary.
