Normalize Being Kind to Others
I love the work that I do. I get to work with some remarkable young people who want to change the world for the better. I remember when I was their age, I felt so afraid to speak up about what I was going through. I remember having people in my life that I admired […]
It’s Okay Not to be Perfect
