"Obviously, we have a really big choice to make. To be able to wear a shirt that lets anyone know where you stand is empowering. It's nice to see people not afraid to be heard, and to let others know it's OK to be engaged. It's OK to have an opinion. It's OK to want to share that and scream it from the rooftops.
It's hard to put yourself out there now more than ever with the access that people have to you. You can't put anything out without getting all kinds of feedback, positive and negative. So we need to embolden one another to not just stay silent. That's why, for me, I need to be surrounded by people — strong people — who are brave enough to use their voices and let their opinions be known. It reminds me to not get safe and lazy."
