When the mission gets hard, give yourself grace. My reminder is that I am doing something brave. Something generations before me were too afraid or too broken to do. I am telling the truth!

I am standing in the gap between silence and justice. I am giving voice to the pain that tried to bury me. And that is not easy work. It is sacred work.

I am allowed to feel tired. I am allowed to step back and breathe. But I will not give up because this is bigger than me. This is for the little girl I used to be. This is for my mother, who didn’t get the life she deserved. This is for my children, so they’ll know what courage looks like. This is for every soul who’s ever been silenced and made to feel invisible.

I may not have chosen this path, But I choose what happens now.

Let the world know:

You will not go quiet. You will not look away. You will not let fear win.

Justice will be served. And you will be seen.
