Customer Reviews
Impactful message!
I just listened to “Will Our Lives Still Matter” and loved it. The discussion perfectly captured how this is both a difficult and hopeful time. I left inspired by the idea that maybe, just maybe, there’s the tiniest chance that we are at the precipice of real change. Only if we work hard, only if we’re the voice in the room challenging the status quo, only if we vote, and only if we call our nations leaders and demand equality. Daunting challenges, but we have the power to move the needle. Thank you for the powerful message and let’s keep hope alive!
