I am most firm in one belief.
Every single person is worthy of investment.
I do not believe that race or class or position in society or family or friends make one more or less worthy of investment. I do not believe that kindness needs to be birthed out of religion. Rather, I think it is innately human to be kind, I believe people are happiest and most secure when they are kind. I believe people are beautiful because they are capable are greatness, not achieving great wealth or building great houses, but doing great things, weaving great lives through innovations and connectivity. I am moving to what people have told me is "the poorest place in America" a "pile of ashes" because I believe every single person is worthy of investment. I do not believe that the poorest place in America is a pile of ashes. I believe it is a mecca of potential, populated by people who are deserving and desiring investment.
I can read and write and speak and be employed because I have been invested in, genuinely invested in. I have been taught how to work hard, I have been challenged, and I have been supported each time I spread my wings. I am a lucky one, I am a privileged one, and I believe everyone is worthy of this privilege.
The root of my decisions is my belief in the power of humanity, its need for investment, and its thirst for love.
