Hello! 👋 send me a text message! I would love to hear from you! ❤️
I'm choosing this episode, S2E6 - Changing Gun Violence as my first 🔁 BEST OF because this subject needs to be continued. It's unfortunately, a hot topic that needs to be discussed more. As a society, especially if you live in the United States of America, we can't ignore the real tragedies that keep unfolding time & time again. I understand the sensitivity that goes along with these discussions. Change can only happen within ourselves first, and then become united with others who truly understand that your voice matters!
In a world where the sanctity of life often seems overshadowed by politics, I question why our lawmakers, despite their power, often remain indifferent and not willing to compromise to the issue of gun safety. With a look towards the future, I underscore the right of our coming generations to safety, freedom, and the pursuit of dreams, free from the fear of gun violence.
Together, let's unpack the crippling stigma around mental health. Do your part, help bring fresh perspectives to the table, to question the status quo, and to contribute to shaping a future where not only the American dream will not be overshadowed by the American gun crisis, but the entire world. 🌎❤️
