Also, when you are not the most powerful person in a room, band together with someone and be powerful together, she states “people and systems count on our silence to keep us exactly where we are”, in other words, rebelling against change.]]> 2019-11-18 18:17:43 UTC https://padlet.com/twatson210/6fweoruq7fb9/wish/412904050 What did I have to get “comfortable with being uncomfortable” with in order to accomplish my goals? twatson210 https://padlet.com/twatson210/6fweoruq7fb9/wish/412913779

Also, that we have to take risks for those who won’t, so those who won’t will be inspired by you and as well as telling the unwanted truth, the truth hurts, but not greater good comes from lying or not saying anything at all. ]]> 2019-11-18 18:34:55 UTC https://padlet.com/twatson210/6fweoruq7fb9/wish/412918115 Personal Experience twatson210 https://padlet.com/twatson210/6fweoruq7fb9/wish/412927869  Everyone has their own “get comfortable with being uncomfortable” moments and as a kid, I had those moments a lot with my sisters and brothers not wanting to say, “Mommy, your brother needs to go”. Yeah, my mother isn’t really good at dating, most aren’t, but at some point you gotta say something. I’m always the one who does, my mom gets mad at me for it, but I’m not really the jealous daughter type, I’m not close with my mom at all, but that mean I don’t care about and want the best for her. I don’t run people off, if that was the case my moms current boyfriend would be gone. It’s at the point where my mom wants to choose her boyfriend over us and that hurts my siblings, so I say something about it. I always do. It’s not something that could change the world, but does change or could change my mother and help my siblings say something too. ]]> 2019-11-18 18:46:43 UTC https://padlet.com/twatson210/6fweoruq7fb9/wish/412927869 “We’re not fearless. We’re not I afraid of the consequences or the sacrifices that we have to make by speaking truth to power.”~Luvvie Ajayi twatson210 https://padlet.com/twatson210/6fweoruq7fb9/wish/412930740 2019-11-18 18:50:07 UTC https://padlet.com/twatson210/6fweoruq7fb9/wish/412930740 twatson210 https://padlet.com/twatson210/6fweoruq7fb9/wish/412946440 This quote stood out the most to me because it’s a very explicit statement and truth. There are a lot of people who are always saying they’re not afraid to do something, but for example, if their boss has a problem that needs fixing and you speaking out results in losing that job, I bet you won’t say anything. To me when she says “not afraid”, she doesn’t mean phobia’s or being afraid of clowns, she means of risks and consequences. I am personally terrified of taking risks, so I don’t take them. I should, but I don’t. And if I do take risks, it’s not ever beneficial. I think there’s at least one thing that every human being on this planet won’t do, small or big.]]> 2019-11-18 19:06:30 UTC https://padlet.com/twatson210/6fweoruq7fb9/wish/412946440
