I must say, this was truly an inspirational experience. Being able to sit in the room as a former fellow now youth ally, brought so many sparks within my soul. Realizing how much work the recent youth allies and I worked to get to the stage we’re at now, made me more optimistic on the change that we the youth hold in this society.
So many young people in this world are on a desperate search to find: who they are, what they truly stand for, what’s their passion, and etc. That is why, these youth-empowerment initiative are truly needed among our communities, to help build strong transformative youth leaders of today— on a mission/drive for social justice.This is such an emotional topic for me, because when I sit back and reflect on how the youth are suffering by making wrong choices just to be heard; youth who want to make a change but their held back by stereotypic parents who see no benefit in these types youth groups and believe that school is the only EDUCATION needed in this dunya [world], makes my heart ache.
I’m truly blessed for the path that Allah [God] is leading me on, as I learn more and experience more; I gain more understanding/wisdom about the society we live in today and about the impact that I want to make/leave in my home, community/school, and the world.
W/ PEACE && LOVE...
