No Longer Silenced

What can I say that hasn’t already been said? Something has been wrong for a very long time, and unfortunately, many are just now waking up to it—and even worse, many more are still shutting their eyes tight, refusing to believe.

I’ve been scrolling the news sites, the social media feeds, the stories, the pictures all week and I’m just speechless. But my speechlessness must not be mistaken for silence. Instead of trying to write something witty or profound this time, I want to simply encourage you to listen to the voices that so desperately need to be heard. They should no longer be silenced—their peaceful protests have gone unheard and they are now crying out in the streets. When will we stop and listen to them?
