Tending & Trusting — Reflections from Diamond STEM

Through Tending & Trusting

  • We write to slow down observation,

  • Document patterns with care

  • Invite shared responsibility rather than speculation or dismissal.

  • Silence would do more harm than clarity.

    Tending to what we notice & Trusting the community

These reflections grow out of what we notice in community spaces and the conversations that follow.

They are written when something feels important to name often because it has been:

Seen

Discussed, or

Experienced repeatedly
