This is because I'm seeing things happen to people that don't have a voice: people that don't have a platform to talk and have their voices heard and affect change.

Change, People, Voice, Stand, Down, Feel

Regina Brett

Life, Decision, Game, Moving, My Life

Positive, Man, Achievement, Loving, Way
