8 Lessons in Love

If we are going to change the world, we have to be open to the perspectives of what other people are going through--whether you've experienced it firsthand or not.

Education is love.

Your past grooms you for your purpose.

I learned from empathy how to show up for people.

Unforgiveness stunts your growth.

Own your voice to leave your mark.

The world needs your light now, more than ever, and there's no better time than this moment before us.

I leave you all with three questions: how will you own your voice, where will you inject love -and if you haven't already- when will you start?

I'm not going to let the past hold me hostage, anymore.

How good are you at serving others if you don't serve yourself first.

For a long time, it was really hard for me to ask for help. There's an African proverb that goes: "If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together." And so finding my tribe became really, really crucial for me. Finding the tribe of people who love the work they do, and who are really about that life, as my friends would say.

I think the three most important pieces of empathy are: listen and teach, listen and teach, help and communicate.

There is nothing that we can do to erase what happened in the past but we can work on what’s happening in the present.

Everyday I dream of a love in this world that flows so deep that no act could erase it, that no act could take it away.

"The purest form of love is how we communicate with each other"

Pain and trauma taught me all that I know about love.

Love lives in the now.

The opposite of darkness is light and love

There is darkness, and there is also light, so within my past I also learned about choice. And I chose that everyday I would rise up and fight for love like hell.

I think the culmination of all your skills and all your likes and all your loves and all your interests make you who you are and more importantly, they equip you to be prepared for what you're here to do.
