Once You See It… Arundhati Roy

"The trouble is that once you see it, you can't unsee it. And once you've seen it, keeping quiet, saying nothing, becomes as political an act as speaking out. There's no such thing as an innocent bystander."

— Arundhati Roy, Writer and New York Times Bestselling Author

Teach Them The Power Of Their Voice...Glen Henry

“There’s a thing about teaching your kids the power of their voice. When they’re babies, we’re always listening. As soon as they make a noise or cry, we’re there trying to troubleshoot. When they get older and develop their own opinions, we tell them to stay in their place and mind their business. Then when they turn I9 or 20, we want them to speak up for themselves and stand up against injustice but we never taught them how to do that. We need to teach them the power of their voice, but first, we need to be ready to listen.”

--Glen Henry, Beleaf In Fatherhood

Your Voice Has Power...How Will You Use It?

"We take so many things for granted until we experience loss. We believe that we will be treated fairly until we are treated unfairly. We believe that surely people will be held accountable for their misdeeds until they are not prosecuted.

We believe that our one voice will not make a difference until our voice is the first thing we can use to make a difference."

Using Your Power...@vnona

Everyone has power although everyone's degree of power is not the same. Even babies, the weakest among us, have power. They use their voice to get our attention. Your voice has power, too.

The most effective way to use your power is to unite your voice with others to accomplish change for the common good. How will you use your power?
