Our words are powerful! In 2011, I remember catching the last 15-20 minutes of @Oprah and my ears still ring with Oprah saying, “Do you see me?” Do you hear me?” She spoke about how all those she interviewed over the course of her daytime show looked to feel validated. I carry that with me as I work every day with youths in college and it is so important to me that they know I see and hear them. @Oprah recently spoke on a TV program, where she said she no longer asks the question of “What’s wrong with that person?” but instead, “What happened to that person?”
In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic and the fight against social injustice there are so many people who are saying and doing things to other people (adults & children), I can’t believe. I keep asking myself, “What happened to that person,” and how can we get them to pause and reflect and just try again to understand HUMANITY and find the root in their core of where and how their fear, hate, etc… formed within so they can hopefully reset.
We have to keep reading, educating, and communicating in hopes to help the future generations have better opportunities to live their lives peacefully and successfully. Lets’ go everybody! We know better and need to challenge ourselves to do better in all facets not just for the bubbles, squares, triangles, that we live in. There is so much beauty and greatness; that is being lost unnecessarily. I SEE YOU!
