Live Dream Lead Inspire LLC’s Post

Sorry I’ve been quiet for a moment as I navigated a tough situation. It can feel like there’s no point in fighting anymore. When you’ve spent the majority of your life scratching and clawing for every inch of progress. Fighting against classist, ableist, racist, and sexist bigots and systems that are designed to bar you completely, or at best, impede your success at every step. It’s exhausting, and at times can feel so very lonely. It can feel like you’re fighting a losing battle…so why bother? When I’m feeling this way, I try to remember my purpose, my vision for a better world where every person has access to what they need to thrive! I believe such a world is possible. I believe that folks who are marginalized, are also sorely underestimated, and I believe this is our superpower! All the folks I know who are #disabled, #BIPOC, #LGBTQIA2S+, and/or who hold other #marginalized identities are often also the most compassionate, innovative, and hardworking folks I know. We’re like real life super heroes! Our resilience builds competence and grit! This is why I’ve dedicated my life to supporting folks like us, to changing the narrative about what people like us are capable of, and to developing and uplifting opportunities that aid our success! Live Dream Lead Inspire literally represents the path forward and I’m excited to share that in the coming months, I’ll be sharing some opportunities I think members of these communities will be super interested in…stay tuned.
