Today I allowed myself to be seen, truly seen. Listening to the stories at @TEDxHouston today, I realized one thing - even if you think no one cares, share your story - you have no idea how many lives you will inspire. So special to see the Survivors that came out to support 💜

[TEDx Houston @TEDxHouston]

All the volunteers rocked it today, thank you so much for your support!! 👏🏿👏🏻 👏🏽👏🏼

“What love looks like is that we don’t just have wants for neighbors (rights, health, happiness), but that we take action for that love.”

“What depression taught me was to stop, turn around, and ask why are you here?

These 4 questions changed my approach to the diagnoses:
1. Who am I?
2. What do I need?
3. What do I want?
4. What keeps me alive at my core?”

– @Pastor_Juanita

“My biggest risk as an entrepreneur is asking for help. But, I did not let that feeling take over me. It’s time that we start wearing the label of risk-takers. Align yourself with other risk-takers.” – Beauty Catalyst, Founder of @lamikbeauty, @KimRoxie
