@independentlens: A generational fight for equality. On January 15th, 2020, Virginia became the 38th and final state needed to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment. The fight that made it happen was covered in our film Ratified. #ratified #pbsdocumentaries #pbs
This is me!! This was almost 10 years ago now but the message still stands! It’s important to hear young voices and give them a platform!!

“She wrote this so we are going to read it” because her voice matters even when it shakes.

As a mother, please know I’m proud of the child but I am also proud that this mother got up and showed her child how to stand in the hard and put your voice to action. This baby girl will be a better community member from this experience.

When a child stands up at that podium to speak with their whole heart- every adult at that table should look at them with an encouraging smile, whether you agree or not. I’m so disappointed at those adults who could not at the very least show her support for standing before a room that way.

Dear Easton, There is something incredibly powerful about a young woman who has the courage to stand for something greater than herself. Courage isn’t the absence of fear. It’s the willingness to move forward despite it. And purpose isn’t simply about what we hope to accomplish in life, but the difference we choose to make in the lives of others.
Never underestimate your voice, your worth, or the impact you can have on this world. We need more young people who are willing to lead with conviction, compassion, and humanity.
May your courage inspire others to find theirs, and may you never lose the fire that gives your life purpose. ❤️
