Be the person who fights for the best for others, not because you have to, but because one day someone will fight for you too.

Lately I’ve been faced with a variety of situations where I have felt obligated to speak up. The challenge has always been feeling comfortable with how, when, and why I choose to express myself. I’ve repeatedly challenged the assumption that my voice has an impact, and I am aware that my voice has a power that I hadn’t considered in 2010.

I could delve into this further, but for now, I want to leave you with this consideration: fighting to advance the rights of and opportunities for others will advance yours, too.
