Keep sharing your stories. Storytelling remains our most powerful tool—for teaching, learning, giving consent, expressing dissent & claiming independence and freedom. When our voices are silenced, injustice thrives. Every story you tell is an act of liberation. Keep raising your voice & stay strong!
