I left that conference feeling extremely discouraged.
As such, I made a personal decision to leave this space, as a survival advocate, in about a year. The reason I did that is I cannot believe that after 15 or 20 years, we are sitting at the human rights museum and still only talking about the problem, instead of starting to talk about solutions.
I was so discouraged by that conference. When I saw corporations and large organizations spending their time, effort and energy sitting in for a two-day conference, talking about the problem they've been talking about for years, that's how I felt.
That conference led me to a personal decision to leave the space after 15 years.
