Today, I had a video visit with someone I worked with years ago who now works in research. When she reintroduced herself, I gave her a little grief, after all, we worked closely together. I wondered, Was I that disconnected? She chuckled and explained that she doesn’t take anything for granted.
She reached out because she is inspired by the work my colleagues and I do every day to democratize access to credit—just my fancy way of saying we are doing the hard work of truly seeing communities and meeting them where they are in banking. I am grateful to you, L, for reconnecting and sharing your heart. I will pray for you and your family.
