If we work together to spread the awareness of what is occurring today, we will be able to prevent it from continuing into the tomorrow.

We can learn a lot about how to treat others from stories that have been passed from generation to generation.

Hope we get to have that snowball fight I always dreamed we’d have.

Maya, my love, I promise to be courageous. I promise that when I face a decision, I will think of how it will impact you and your future. I promise that I’ll also step outside my individual decisions and add my weight to the forces that shift culture and systems.

If we truly live our present moment, maybe you’ll have a future.

Fighting for a system that rewards care for people and planet over profit.
