In this episode, Sera talks about three clear paths of action off the mat that make it possible for each of us to make a difference. 1) Get clear about what matters to you. What are you for? What are the issues that matter to you and go towards that. [5:00] 2) Operate with honesty and integrity – all the time. Making sure our words and behaviors match our intentions. [10:00] 3) Live a life of connectivity. Small acts of activism for humanity that cause a ripple effect.

Read the full Forbes article and watch the interview here: http://bit.ly/2LlyybT. “The humanitarian flag that we had been waving was a privilege that we could no longer afford,” Sera Bonds, 44, says as her board and staff at Circle of Health International decided to increase their activism for women’s rights following the 2016 election. Activism is in her blood. As a teenager in 1992, with her parents, she attended a National Organization for Women march in Washington, DC. “There was one issue in our family that was abortion and both my parents were very pro-choice,” she explains. But when she launched the nonprofit, one of her early lessons was that she would have to choose between leading a humanitarian organization or human rights organization.
