Thank you for this. I have long followed and admired Alok. I love it when people find their true path outside of societies expectations. And Alok is so such a trailblazer and so brave.

This was such a beautiful find today. Thanks for writing it and for centering Alok's voice and words. They're one of my favorite visionaries for a world I want to live and be known in. We could all do with a bit of compassion.

Thank you, glad you found it! It’s such a simple concept - compassion - but in this world it seems to be harder to find.
