Blog Post - Gray Gall - Fabian Debora

Fabian Debora was such a genuine storyteller. I really appreciated him letting us into his world and his perspective. The three biggest takeaways for me were:

1. Debora was so open with us and it was really inspiring. A huge takeaway for me was his willingness to share and his ability to be vulnerable about the past. I'm realizing that this type of connection is incredibly important when engaging with the community in the ways that he does. 
2. Another huge takeaway for me was the way his mother stood by his side through everything. I really want to meet this woman. She sounds so strong in so many ways that I could never imagine. The bond that his family has is unbreakable and beautiful. 
3. A third takeaway was his lack of judgement for anything or anyone. We as humans often make so many assumptions about our surroundings. It was a breath of fresh air to hear someone talk about opening a conversation with anyone, no matter the circumstances they were dealing with.

California is one of the leading states in the production and exporting of agriculture products due to our vast and wide scale of geological environments, but ...
