text: The responses to the article are as interesting as Hadiya’s account. At a moment in time when it appears as though there are no shared realities and where everything is relative-the comments here seem consistent with that state. Certainly, we all bring our unique past experiences, fears and ambitions with us and yes, they shape our perspectives and inform our interactions but I don’t’ believe that mitigates their value. If we are not willingly to listen to how our organizations make individuals feel then where does the change come from?
