Etienne Phillips
Growing up living with a single parent who indoctrinated him into a world of conspiracies, Etienne Phillips was socialized into having some rather “out of the ordinary” beliefs. Surrounded by these beliefs, the world was a terrifying place for him as a young child. Over time, he began to shift his perspectives and develop his own world view as he interacted with people in the world, and will share with us how this can inform our own interactions in society.
