I'm passionate about championing the underdog. I like to empower those who feel the least powerful and help them understand that they don't know their own strength. After all, no one is coming to save us. We must understand that the power we need is power we already have.

An idea worth spreading is tolerance. This is not a novel idea. But certainly in today's society, it's an idea that seems to suppressed. Whether our differences are political beliefs, ethnicities, religious beliefs or anything in between, we should learn to respect them and be tolerant of ideas that challenge us.
