Replying to Thirza Loffeld

Hi Xyo, many thanks for your inspiring and honest words. I really appreciate that you shared with our community how you overcame the negative repercussions of working in a toxic culture of bullying at your previous workplace by re-connecting with your source of energy and satisfaction: field work. Your story highlights your resilience, how you positively adapted to the challenges you met along the way. It was also wonderful to read about the success of your Zocay Project!
