She spoke nothing but facts!
As I continue building my own business and creating my own connections, I find myself reflecting on exactly what she said in this video. Too often, we work hard trying to earn a seat at tables that were never truly designed with our communities in mind. We shake hands, attend meetings, and support organizations that claim to care, yet when it’s time to invest in our people, the support is limited or nonexistent.
Many of these organizations may be for us in theory, but not always for us in practice. They give us one seat at the table and expect us to feel included, while the real decisions, resources, and opportunities remain out of reach.
I’m learning that sometimes the answer isn’t fighting for a seat at someone else’s table, it’s building our own table, creating our own opportunities, and making room for the people who have been overlooked for far too long.
That’s the mission I’m committed to. Building, connecting, empowering, and creating spaces where our communities don’t just have a voice, they have ownership.
