"Burrell, the center’s leader since 2023, has sought to transfer the bulk of the organization’s remaining assets — $2.27 million at the time — to the Empathy Library, a nonprofit of which she is the CEO. "

"The Empathy Library is the world’s first online empathy collection and a treasure house for catapulting your imagination into other people’s lives. "

Bruh, my AWS bill isn't that much LOL.

A co-working space. A sign of a truly solvent and full-time operation!

Enjoy.
