At July’s Creative Mornings event, we heard artist/activist/cultural producer Elijah McKinnon talk about equality– about doing things in service of others, about accountability and trust and compassion. 

Missed it? Check out some highlights below shared by fellow Chicago morning people during and after Elijah’s presentation!

Equality and Inspiration for change. @chicago_cm @elijaa_ #equality #chicago #chingón #goodfriday

#cmtakeaways Equality is the name of the game. The protein: Trust, Accountability, Compassion, Empowerment. Thus not forget to make time for yourself, so that you have the energy for everyone else. Know your privilege(s) and use it. Listen more, especially to the other not like you. @chicago_cm @elijaa_ #cmequality #chicago #CHITown #cmchi #thankyou #blessed

Elijah (@elijaa_) defined equality thru the lens of trust, accountability, compassion and empowerment and sharing 4 personal and professional projects. Great talk and way to get to the practice of equality. #cmequality #artlife #curatoriallife #inclusion #equity #radicaltransparency
