A Different Normal

Outcome
Bring awareness to what’s normal to us,
Challenge our assumptions and be curious about what is normal to others.
Main Questions

What happens when we stop being curious about someone else’s version of "normal"?
What is one way we can be more intentional about understanding others who are different than our “normal"?
