In this episode of "Belonging is a Verb," I got to chat with Dr. Sebrina Lindsay-Law, whose passion for learning is downright contagious. She’s all about digging deep—whether it's into textbooks or into our own reflections—to uncover the kind of knowledge that shapes us.

Our chat was sprinkled with laughter, learning, and the kind of lightbulb moments that happen when two people who love what they do get talking. Sebrina's reflections on the importance of self-awareness and feedback in leadership left me nodding in agreement. It's about knowing who you are and using that knowledge to lead and inspire.

A former social studies teacher with an infectious passion for connecting the dots of human experience, Sebrina's take on leadership and learning is as refreshing as it is thought-provoking. She's a firm believer in continuous improvement—not just for systems and processes but for ourselves, too.

What stood out to me was her emphasis on the courage it takes to ask for feedback, to reflect authentically, and to make those incremental changes that propel us forward. One thing that really struck a chord with me was how she framed inclusivity. We explored how creating spaces for inclusion isn't about making accommodations upon request, but about making everyone comfortable and welcome by design.

And her quote? "Success is a journey, not a destination." It reminded me that our experiences are not just pit stops on the road to success; they're the very essence of it.

Her closing message? The name of this podcast isn't just catchy; it's a call to action. Belonging really is a verb, and it requires us to move, to do, to be active participants in creating a world where everyone has a seat at the table.

Don’t forget to tune into 'Existence Podcast' to hear more from Sebrina, where she brings her dynamism to conversations on living, learning, and connecting.

For everyone out there who's on their own path to learning and leading, this episode is a light-hearted yet profound conversation you won't want to miss. So come along for the ride as we explore these tales of bravery, insight, and transformation—one heartwarming episode at a time.
