In our [Season 2 finale](https://commonimpact.org/podcast/episode/reflections-on-a-challenging-clarifying-transformative-year), Danielle reflects on the challenging moments we lived through, from COVID-19 to a divisive election to the brutal murders of Black Americans and racial justice reckoning that followed. Danielle highlights some of the most moving experiences and advice our guests shared in 2020 and why she is optimistic for the new year, one that we hope sees more resilient, equitable, and connected communities than ever before.
