- "Storytelling as Best Practice is a long-time favorite way of looking at our messaging. It's a message that never gets dated."
- "We have to remember that the way we communicate is filtered through our own cultural lens and that we have to craft messages free of our biases and targeted to different populations so that families can hear the message in a way that makes sense to them."
