Continually and resoundingly the underlings of division and separation permeate families, communities, and organizations.

Everybody Paddle speaks to the profound impact of people coming together. The contributions provided remind us to be receptive to all opportunities to join together as the outcome isn’t always predetermined. When we paddle together, the outcome is likely greater than the sum of its parts.”—Scott L. Barkin, PhD, Executive Director, Block Institute

“Working together—sharing the dream—living the dream daily.”—Kodwo Ababio, CEO, Cititech Solutions, Inc.

“Currently this country is experiencing discourse due to a lack of unity and empathy for each other. Everybody Paddles is an inspirational blueprint for what it takes to collectively move this country into a more harmonious and equally prosperous state of union. Rather picking a side, pick up the EP book, grab an oar, and paddle together for our country. Paddle for our children!"—Jamila Sams, Education and Youth Development Consultant, GoToMsSams
