“My goal is to speak my truth while educating the privileged and uplifting as many marginalized people as possible. But perhaps on a grander scale, my ambition is to get people to think critically, even the ones who do not agree with me. ” “These words mean that we the people have the power to change the systems.” “Speaking out is important to me because I don’t have any other option but to do that as a black woman. Because I feel that I have created a space for myself with my voice where I need to speak out in order to uplift others who maybe don’t have the strength to do so, or the means, or the platform.”
