Our world can be a difficult place to live and it becomes much harder when you feel like you're alone.
This piece is about the feeling of empowerment and inspiration that comes from seeing someone like you accomplishing great things. "If they can do it so can I" you tell yourself, and that becomes a light you can carry with you anywhere you go, a reminder that gets you through dark times when you feel unwelcome or unsupported. Throughout history women and people of color have been told "no you can't" and when one person blazes a path through uncharted territory they become a beacon for all those to follow. A beautiful cycle has been set in motion where we are inspired and go on to inspire others in our turn.
