THE THREE ASPECTS OF A THRIVING COMMUNITYĭiana describes a diagram like a donut, divided into three equal segments: However, she does have a new thought on founder’s syndrome that she wants to share but that’ll have to wait for part 2 because first, she talks about: Paul sent Diana the jump drive jar but she didn’t realize that it had data in it!
