this right here.

yet... it's so many of you whippersnappers... i include Jessica Wildfire, Brianna Wiest, Shannon Ashley, Shaunta Grimes, Jay Sizemore and you, Umair among them... there are more but this isn't a numbers game.

this is about honoring your worth, grasping what's important AND what isn't.

self-love, speaking truth and your personal truths while demanding equity and fighting for agency—among MANY THINGS none of them MATERIAL.

and if it is material young voices question WHY it can't be shared FAIRLY.

you darn kids have taught me more about SELF LOVE than all the self-help i've sought [OODLES] as SELF AWARENESS comes as part of our perfect packaging as babies.

it's undoing all the bull-shit programming endured between 0 and 14 we need to exorcise through therapy, pain, and grace to survive.

i'm so very sorry some of us parents from the disco and fern-bar era, ET AL done y'all wrong.

may we all continue to grow and speak truth to power—our planet and civilization deserve so much better.

and thanks for another great mind-opener.
