I’ve said it a million times myself.
“I want to give a voice to the people that don’t have one.”
But after going to India a few months ago, it began to occur to me that my philosophy is completely off track.
Everyone has a voice. Even the people who are the most overlooked.
They have beautiful voices.
Broken voices.
Voices pleading for help.
Voices singing with hope.
Even their silence says something…
The phrase “I want to give a voice to the people that don’t have one” has to go.
It’s dehumanizing.
THEY have a voice.
The problem is WE don’t listen.
