I couldn’t agree more VJ. I have always been amazed by her courage and conviction, and inspired by the thought that one supposedly ‘simple’ act could spark huge change. I love what you said about praying for “the courage to step beyond the limitations of [our] own prejudices that [we] may become an empowering force.”
