“I was bullied as a child; I was the smallest kid at school, I had red hair and glasses…” When I heard these opening words from our hosting partner, Steve Fortunato, at our latest Darling Dinner, my whole heart was instantly engaged. There’s something about seeing a grown adult share vulnerably from their childhood. You can picture them in context; you can imagine it being you. You want to give them a hug right then and there because the feeling of not being enough or “lacking” is universal.
