Show Up

Some people fear, dislike, do not want, and/or are uncomfortable with your presence in the room...a room...any room they are in. So what? Show up anyways. Shine always. Maybe you won't change their perspective, but your presence sure as hell challenges their misconceptions. Maybe that's the real work. Show up and let your unapologetic existence speak for you. -LeKechia Lyshell
