Entering this world,
Begin by centering SELF,
Rise from the embers into the light,
LISTEN closely to the heart beat,
Drum in a DREAM,
Draw upon a VISION,
SHARE with daring while caring,
Craft strategy with CLARITY,
CHART artful paths to destinies,
Bring VOICE to sing choice,
Just GO for this is ADVOCACY.
//Eileen, on my birthday, reflecting on the gift of story and wisdom on Self-Advocacy recently shared by AnaMaria Correa for our Women of Color in the Arts - WOCA Leadership Through Mentorship Program 2022 Cohort.
