Really appreciating this article Tracy. I will share it with my current client who is also struggling with the word "governance."

A beautiful invitation, Tracy, to revisit my relationship with the term governance. "Reclaiming the word is itself a structural move, not a semantic preference. When we name what we’re doing as governance — the way we are navigating together — we can remake it. As we hold it accountable to the principles we already claim — equity, learning, power-with, living systems — it becomes a bridge to a new paradigm." A bold and necessary move ~ thank you!
