Wonderbringers Newsletter with Monica Parker

Hello, Wonderseekers,
It’s National Inclusion Week in the UK, and I just returned from the EDSP conference in Amsterdam, which focuses on inclusion in procurement. Did you know that women make 70-80% of the purchasing decisions, own 1/3 of businesses globally, but receive less than 2% of funding? The conference gave me a real appreciation for the power of belonging. More below.
And for a far more eloquent and moving story of loneliness and belonging, enjoy this gorgeous story from Humans of New York.
Some wonderbringers for me this week:
On belonging: I long, as does every human being, to be at home wherever I find myself. - Maya Angelou
It’s never too late for gratitude: Escaped PoW thanks the woman who sheltered him 74 years later.
The strangest library on the planet: The Future Library (and a short interview as well.)
A true hunger for learning: Guinean man cycles across six countries for spot at Egyptian university.
Another podcast! This time with the Access to Inspiration podcast hosted by polar explorer and coach Sue Stockdale. Hope you enjoy it!
With wonder,
