What Kevin Wheldall learned from 50yrs of research: βœ”οΈŽ find your tribe; βœ”οΈŽ be prepared to be unpopular; βœ”οΈŽ learn from one another; βœ”οΈŽ be patient, your time will come; and βœ”οΈŽ keep on keeping on; persistence is key to making a difference. πŸ†“πŸ”“https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/19404158.2024.2419892
