Poem for the Day: October 29th, 2021

when we empower ourselves, we inspire others to empower 
themselves. step up & lead the way for others to follow in your 
footsteps. encourage them to do better than you were able to, 
because hope can never be lost as long as the future rests in 
the hands of our sisters & siblings. 

—be the light. 

Today’s poem is from shine your icy crown by amanda lovelace.
