From Voices of Injustice to Architects of Solutions: My Journey as a Leader Focused on Change
Throughout human history, many have raised their voices against injustice, fighting for equality, freedom, and the rights of the oppressed. These champions of civil rights are known for exposing the problems that plague society, mobilizing communities, and inspiring change through their words, actions, and sacrifice.

It wasn’t a journal, not something as structured or detailed as that, but more like an 80s version of a vision board. My notebooks were filled with everything I was going through, books I aspired to write, movies I wanted to create, and achievements I dreamed of reaching.
