Leveraging Privilege
Posted on June 09, 2004 in events.
My brother Viral and Sukh from LA represented CharityFocus in a Youth Jam, where young visionaries from around the globe come together for a week to dig deeper into themselves and learn from other exemplary leaders.
The title of this "jam" was "Leveraging Privilege". Average net worth of these attendees under 35 was 2 million bucks. Some were musicians, some had a strong public voice, some were famous. Bottom line-- everyone was privileged.
When I visited them on the last day for a roundtable introduction, Sukh had the most interesting comment (and I'm paraphrasing): "My privilege is my desire to be the change I wish to see in the world."
Silence. That kind of stuff can steal your breath.
