be the change

For my be the change project i'm going to focus on gay rights and more specifically working with tgbt teens and trying to lower the suicide rates of this community. This is an issue really close to me heart because I have attempted suicide more then once so i understand how they feel. I also have many gay friends so i'm sure they would be proud of me knowing that i'm trying to make a change with them for the good :-)

sojourner truth

I just read a letter by soujourner truth with my class yesturday and it really hit me. There were so many different things she said like, " I have been fourty years free and fourty years a slave." That broke my heart right there. And being an african american it really hurts to know that my people really had to go through all this to get where we are now. The other thing that really caught my attention was when she said, "I am above eighty years old; it is about time for me to be going..........I suppose I am kept here because someting remains for me to do." And she was right there was alot more to be done but thankfully that emancipation proclamation was made and now i'm sure soujourner truth is now smiling in here grave.....peace and love.....<3

The women's movement

Tonight we're gonna talk all about women and  the women's movement.....now we have come along way as women in this world. First we were to be stuck as mothers in the home cooking and cleaning and popping out babies and what not. But now times are changing and women are doing great things as we speak.... Take Emily's List for example they are a great organization for Prochoice progressive democratic women. they represent strong women in politics such as Barbra Boxer, Kristin Gillabrand, Patty Murray etc. who have chosen there views and beliefs. We need to rise up as women and become the great women that we were meant to be; and like the great Maya Angelou once said, "We may encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated." So encourage yourself tonight women and join the women's movement together we can make huge a difference.......<3
