One Conversation. One Choice. One Ripple.
Years ago, Bruce Goldwell had a conversation outside a hospital that stayed with him. A Black nurse shared her heartbreak over what she was seeing in the next generation: lost opportunity, broken direction, and young lives drifting away from purpose.
That honest conversation became the seed for Ripples — a thoughtful and practical book about history, identity, responsibility, opportunity, and the future we still have the power to build.
