Hope This Helps:
Through my service I honed the gift and value of speaking up for what is right. I received the gift from my Mom and Dad. The Young Professional Advocate came honestly.
These pictures capture the moment I used my gift and the moment I allowed others to make me second guess it. On my drive home, I told my Dad what I did. He asked me if I told the truth. I said yes.
“Those who have experienced and therefore fight to eradicate poor treatment based upon on race should not replicate it within their own organizations.” – Brandi Richard
And that’s all I have to say about that. Lesson learned, emotion felt, voice formed, growth achieved.
I asked to grow and God said, here you go. So I hope my growth helps you.
XO,
Brandi
