For me. For you. For the children. For the voice of the voiceless:
Shhhhh. Silence. If I speak I fear that I will never be silent, even in my silence I scream for less to say! For no word or words can say what I mean to say. And the wrong words are deafening. —qhnspeaks #peace
Today we remember Dallas Penn, a true icon in sneaker culture, hip-hop, and streetwear. 👟
His influence as a writer, podcaster, and influencer has left an indelible mark on urban culture. From his insightful commentary to his knowledge of sneaker history, his legacy lives on.
If we allowed children to be children. Imagine.
Children who witness war and children who witness intimate partner violence are changed for forever.
Prevent. Interrupt. Heal.
